FreeBSD does not have a journaling filesystem. while people have talked of implementing one, or porting one over from Linux (either IBMs JFS, or SGIs XFS) i've yet to actually see the need for it. FreeBSD (and, by extention, all BSDs) has softupdates. while this is not journaling, it is very effective in reducing the amount of time an fsck takes. you can read the white papers on it out on the net. -- jan -------/ f. johan beisser /--------------------------------------+ http://caustic.org/~jan jan@caustic.org "John Ashcroft is really just the reanimated corpse of J.
