Hi!
Till now I thought btrfs does not use journaling at all, but utilize COW 
approach for
operations atomicity.
But, when I have seen in "Btrfs Timeline":
July 31, 2008: Data=ordered mode support, preventing null bytes in a file after 
a crash.
I have begun to doubt - whether I correctly understand atomicity and 
transactions concepts
of btrfs.

Please, can you clear these doubts?
Is btrfs uses any kind of journaling and what for "Data=ordered"?
I guess, may be it for metadata-data write order but without journal involving, 
isn't it?
Thanks!
