Well, I know that ;-) ... but I bet most end-user don't (just as most

It's a tradeoff, without the log replay traditional filesystems wouldn't
be able to mount at all after a crash. Since most init systems default
to ro at the beginning, it would have been awkward to introduce the
logging filesystems into established systems.
16+ years later, I still feel it's still the path of least surprise.
