Wow. What is all that space used for? Other journalling file systems that
I have seen have limited things like journals to a much smaller space,
expressed in megabytes, and a much smaller number than thought originally.
The bigger journals just didn't end up adding to the performance measurably
and were just considered to be a waste of space that could be used more
usefully.
Thanx...
