I agree with Daniel - consistency should be a primary objective of any journaling file system.

Would it be possible to do something like store both the old and new inodes when a rename occurs, and to remove the old inode when the data is written? This way it could operate like it is currently, except that after a system crash it would be able to see that the new inode is invalid and restore the old one instead.
