They only make it easier to make sure that some disk operations are finished correctly, and in the case of a crash that doesn't do major damage, replays the last few transactions is all. If the volume structure is damaged, journals won't prevent, or repair this. john -- Q: Are you qualified to give a urine sample? -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
