Unfortunately, this is not a safe assumption. The handbook is maintained by volunteers. The volunteers generally do a pretty good job, but are a few negatives of this approach. They aren't generally interested in updating old documentation which doesn't directly apply to them. The provided documentation is how they think it should be done: right, wrong or somewhere in-between. A lot of things don't get the attention they deserve like SU+J, GELI over GBDE, and in-kernel NAT w/ FreeBSD single native firewall ipfw. > I also thought there was > something fundamentally different about them--like SU+J simply maintains > filesystem integrity, while gjournal actually protects files from the > write hole as well as protecting the filesystem. I could be wrong. > There is a fundamental difference between them. Don't you think you should investigate the differences prior to deciding what to use? It's not at clear what your goal is here. Do you want to minimize writes to the ssd or do you want to ensure the fs is always consistent from both a meta-data and data perspective. These options are mutually exclusive in the parameters you've laid out. -- Adam
