Journaling probably isn't as fast as softupdates, but otoh, really huge filesystems don't have to have the long fsck that softupdates requires. BUT, if background fsck ever gets implemented, it should help immensely even the score in that area. In general, I think journaling is better, but what happens when the journal itself gets corrupted? Another [+] for softupdates. Ok, I don't know what I'm talking about. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!
