If so, this is the same class of errors as ZFS (some would call it "tuning errors"), only this time the space reserved for the on-disk journal is too small, and the fast drives fill it up before data can be transfered from the journal to the data area.Is there something stopping gjournal from temporarily blocking writes to the journal to allow it to flush the journaled data to the provider?
I've done something like that in the past, but I don't know if Pawel's gjournal has this implemented.
I feel that a good solution could be to somehow pause the file system at the VFS layer not to generate requests that would result in IO writes - this could (in theory...) help with ZFS.
