That's all about journaling. Write is performed in three stages. First all changes are written along with the old data, then all references are relinked to the new values and if that two stages are passed ok then the whole transaction is marked as commited, all old links are purged and journal entry is removed. If engine at start find some uncommited transactions in the journal then all related changes are rolled back to the initial state.
