It's not very different; gjournal and SU both attempt to leave the filesystem in an coherent state, but both still need a preen to recover lost space. In either case the preen can fail requiring a full fsck. Journalled SU make SU behave more like gjournal in that you can do a fast foreground check which avoids the lengthy background fsck and avoids deferring the handling of unexpected inconsistencies to the next boot. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
