> What is Journaling?

When journaling is turned on, a special file, called a journal (Hence 
"journaling".) is created to track all transactions that change data on 
the disk. The journal file is set up in such a way that data not yet 
properly written to the disk can quickly be recovered or corrected when 
something like a power failure occurs.
