A subset of writes to secondary storage are performed using a | Delayed Ordered Write (DOW) subsystem, which makes it possible for | any file system to control the order in which modifications are | propagated to disk. See also the prior art, dating back to 1992. You thought the USL vs. BSDI lawsuit was bad, with 20 year old already-disclosed "Trade Secrets"...
