[edit] Spelling And Words
Properly this is a "Journalized" file system according to the dictionary (See OED entry for Journal and for Journalize). Journal(l)ing is a Linuxism and incorrect English 81.2.110.250 (talk) 23:17, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] GoBack
Would it be correct or incorrect to refer to the GoBack product as a Journaling file system? --Rebroad 14:38, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
No. It may use Journaling to accomplish what it does, but it's not a filesystem. It works on Windows so NTFS is the filesystem that it uses.

[edit] Why Legacy P1 PCs cann't use ext3?
Could someone explain why my P1-266Mhz can't use ext3? I can install ext2 without errors, but ext3 always halts the Linux install process. I expect it is a bios issue. I recently tried to install a 250GB disk to expand my file system and was unable to partion anything over 8-GB. I know that some file systems will not work above 8-GB because of bios limitations. Any configuration clues would certainly help.

[edit] Physical vs logical journalling
Theres an interesting comment on this issue by an ext3 developer, pointing out that logical journalling assumes disk block writes are atomic (they either happen or don't), whereas at least PC hardware is not so nice. <http://zork.net/~nick/mail/why-reiserfs-is-teh-sukc>. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 217.64.116.8 (talk • contribs) 20:38, May 24, 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Why vs. What
Could someone please elucidate on the "Why" of journaled filesystems, in addition to the what and how?
[edit] Sources
Can anyone cite a paper or to on journaling?

Since the most commonly know use of journaling is in HFS+ file systems, it might be appropriate to cite the following document for this article.
