    SubjectJournalling of Metadata in ext2fs?
    Hi,

    Is there a way (in 2.2.8) to turn on journalling or synchronous writing
    of metadata without turning on synchronous writing of the data. What
    are the pros/cons of doing this. I have seen this discussed a long time
    ago in an thread somewhere in which Linus was debating this with FreeBSD
    folks but can't find that thread now. It seems to me he said that Linux
    supportted it but that it was turned off by default because it was "the
    wrong thing to do". To my mind, however, It could be good for a new
    server in which the files in the news spool filesystem are numerous
    small files, none of which are really all that critical individually.
    Thanks for any input. fsck on large mail servers can be a real pain.

    -Steve
