You're not alone - I've been astonished too. AFAIK the advantages of journaling fs are related to the HD size, especially in case of an unclean umount and the necessery fschk. (This is at least what I've learned from IBM regarding HPFS and JFS) kp _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
