To clarify: A journaled file system will not address any of these issues in and of itself. However, writing a new journaled file system will allow use to address all of these issues more easily than ripping apart UFS (IMHO). Having a journaled file system has another benefit and that is market recognition. The corporate world will be far more likely to embrace FreeBSD if it has a journaled file system than if it has softupdates. While I think this is a silly reason, it will make a difference. Trying to explain to a corporate IT manager that softupdates "is as good as or better than a journaled file system" wont fly. -Don To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-fs" in the body of the message
