Journal replaying itself is done to ensure the consistency of the filesystem. Since the journal contains a chronological log of recent metadata changes, it's able to simply check the portions that have recently been modified - which is a matter of seconds. It does not re-order anything. After this step, the filesystem is usually marked as clean (unless something goes wrong and an fsck might be forced). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
