There's no such thing as UFS2 Journalling in FreeBSD (yet). There's 
"gjournal" which is journaling on the data layer (below the file system, 
and only with very limited integration with the file system). This 
implementation is not documented (except for usage here: 
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=gjournal&manpath=FreeBSD+7.0-RELEASE), 
but there's a small (and very old) high-level overview in my proposal on 
which the current gjournal is based, here: 
http://wiki.freebsd.org/gjournal_proposal . Ignore the bits about 
"delay-commit". See also here:
