I *think* "journalled" is a term used in OS X formatting that means the same thing as HFS+. The two terms can be used interchangeably. Can anyone else verify this?
Journalled is not the same as HFS+, it's something on top of HFS+.

Very simply put, journalling is a way of recording changes made to a disk so that in the event of a system crash the disk can be restored to a known good state.
HFS+ is a disk formatting standard, like HFS, UFS, FAT32 or NTFS. (Trivia: one of the features of NTFS file systems is that they have journalling built-in. Sun has also employed journaled file systems for a long time, iirc.)
