Re: [SLUG] Reiser file system

[Dean Hamstead <zort@nospam.penrithcity.nsw.gov.au>]

journeling goes

"cache"
"ok im going to write data"
"write data"
"i just wrote data"

so if it crashes any way through nothing is lost
ext2 just goes

"cache"
"write data"

yeah, thats pretty much journelling in a nut shell
