In fact I find per-file data journalling extremely useful. It would be even more useful if it allowed regular users to set journalling mode on specific file and there was some way to designate rewrite transaction boundaries (even 128k would cover a lot of small-but-important-file use cases). As for now it is a best choice for app running with root privileges for rewriting files <= page size.

It would, but for most workloads, data=journal is much, much slower. - Ted-- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
