Hi, ...
And lastly don't the journalling fs give a false sense of security to
the user, saying that the data is written to disk when in reality
only an
entry is made in journal and data is still not committed to disk.
This last one is easy to answer: No. Regardless of the filesystem
you're using, there is no guarantee your data hits the disk until you
fsync(). Journalling filesystems don't change this. (And even after
that, it depends on the device doing the right thing :)
Thanks a lot for the patience and eagerly waiting for any replies.
