Is there a Linux/Unix equivalent for the Windows KTM and Transactional NTFS?

Question

Windows, for some time, has supported transactional interactions with files - using the Kernel Transaction Manager (MS KTM) and Transactional NTFS. These features facilitate transactional changes to files on a local file system.

Does Linux/Unix have equivalent features? Are there any published performance comparisons?

Answer 1

I do not have a clear answer for you on this, but ACID based File System discussions have been going on in the Linux world for a long time.
