The September/October 1992 issue of ";login", the "USENIX" newsletter, has
an article entitled "File Systems Workshop Report". It has brief commentary
on "Alex", "Prospero", "Plan 9", "An Object Oriented, File System Independant,
Distributed File Server", "FICUS", "LADDIS", "SFS", "Coconut", "4.4BSD LFS",
"DataMesh", "Zebra", "Optimal Write Batch Size in Log-Structured File Systems",
"Sprite", "An Efficient, Variable-Consistancy, Replicated File Service",
"Processor", "Placing Replicated Data to Reduce Seek Delays", "Issues in
Massive Scale Distributed File Systems", "Faster AFS", and "The Delta File
System". Obviously, for depth, you will have to go to the references. Of
these, "Delta", "4.4BSD LFS", "Sprite", and "Zebra" are explicitly Log
Structured.
There are also several very good papers printed at UCB and UCLA regarding
LSFSs (sorry, can't give you any FTP info other than "their available by FTP").
Hope this points you in the direction you wanted to go.
