Okay, now what?
Authored by: inik on Nov 12, '02 06:57:47PM

All right, so I have a journaled file system. Now how do I get any benefits from this? Can I roll back disk operations? Do I just magically get more stability now? What interface do I use to take advantage of these new features?

Just sit back, crash your machine, and marvel at how fast it starts back up again.

Now: faster crash recovery
Authored by: crkrenn on May 03, '03 10:51:37AM

I'm installing journaling because I periodically let my iBook battery run
down, and reboots used to take 5+ minutes.

Journaling should reduce that crash recovery (essentially a background
fsck process) much faster.
