I am really surprised no one proposed geom journaling. With gjournal,
I never had to do a manual full fsck and have had plenty of unclean
shutdowns. I also occasionally do fsck the filesystem and there were
no errors ever found. It definitely adds the ease factor I am looking
for in a journaling sollution in the case of an unclean shutdown...
