Thread: What is a Journaling file system in Linux.

Hey Friends.I am new to this installation, so gratify cut my mistakes (if any). I have finished several staple things in Linux and now we have specified an conclusion nigh journaling file system. Now frankly muttering I am not having any air almost it. The notes that has been provided is not sufficiency for me to see.

Journaling file system can be circumscribed as a method that serves to use solon protection to the state of accumulation and metadata, contained in our computers. It is advisable for flooding availability systems. And if the "new" feature they have is that of "transactions" that create the grouping to return "normal" for representation, to unpredicted falls.

Hello Friends,Well, for instance when your computer goes bad before, the files could be "misdirect", but now with these "new" systems, if not 100% trustworthy, but this does not pass because when bad off our pc, the transactions were not completed plate were recorded early in the "ledger", and uphold the machine they are made, therefore the file scheme is "synchronized" corroborate without losing assemblage. In another line systems, if this happens, you could retrogress lots of accumulation.

Thanks.

I can exclusive say that XFS and ReiserFS are really solid. The exclusive section I can give is: if you handle / use little file filler, meet use ReiserFS, which according to umpteen tests is the superfine behaved with them. But if you use / handle mammoth files is advisable to use XFS because it is the journaling file scheme that behaves better with them, and as I mentioned early, the greater are the files, XFS behaves modify. I personally advocate that you use either file group "transactional" try them on your own.

Thanks Friends,
