Being tempted by a nice 2.5" flash drive, I was wondering whether using "nointegrity" as a mount option would mitigate repeated writes to the journal area by disposing of the journal.
But it is not clear to me what "nointegrity" actually does, and whether JFS will behave nicely with it. By nicely here I don't mean quick restarts without 'fsck', I mean whether updates will be done in a way that would minimize corruption of the filesystem. One amusing aspect of flash drives is that not only is a journal bad news (especially bad if written in chunks of less than 32KiB) but they also should also make 'fsck' a lot faster (really small access times). I still value JFS anyhow because of features, stability and things like indexing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ Jfs-discussion mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jfs-discussion
