Reiserfs is a typical journaling filesystem in that it writes logical
log records to either an inline log or (in recent versions) an extern
log device.  Ext3 uses physical block based journaling and allows
additional tracking of data blocks in a way only remotely similar to
DOW (the data=ordered mode).
