[.. and so on about journal.dat ..]
I was under the impression that journal.dat is only intended to get a
somehow running system. I mean, what you really want is: have the
journal
on a separate partition with no filesystem at all. Best of all on a
seperate disk (controller, maybe). And you might want to have one
journal
only for all filesystems.
I must disagree on that. If your disk where you've put the journal
breaks
then you have a long night ahead restoring backups.
I can only refer to Aix which has a journal log for every disk,
one journal / disk and all filesystems within.
That's what i think is right way of implementation.
I wonder..
Stephen whatif i remove my journal.dat file what happens then ?
Does it rebuilds the log or does it try to restore the filesystem by
replaying the empty journal log ?,
or does it rebuilds the journal file?
