neither. i meant "journalling". according to some docs i've read
reiserfs to date, uses buffering and some logging to simulate
journalling. i quote this article from osdn:
"ReiserFS is not yet a true journaling filesystem (although full
journaling support is currently under development). Instead,
buffering and preserve lists are used to track all tree modifications,
which achieves a very similar effect."
i haven't checked the doc on reiser4 but i believe that's the one
where they will implement full journaling support.
