Hi Saifi, A filesystem can maintain its logs either on the same partion as itself or in a separate log partition. Internal logging means it is maintaining the log on the same partition. This is the default. Also ordered data mode and commit interval of 5 secs is the default, which it has picked in your case. (Please read my other email to know what is : logging, ordered data mode, and commit interval) Namita
