SubjectRe: Is ReiserFS really a journaling file system, or is it really just a synchronous-metadata file system like BSD FFS?

Didn't you meant 'log-structured filesystem' ?
A very cool one for linux is LinLogFS, which has a small 'kernel'
and can use different minor modified filesystems as personalities
(actually only ext2 is supported).
But it is actually only for 2.2 and modifies buffer.c like 2.2 reiserfs ...)

You can find it at:
