I don't see how journalling helps:
# rm -f BigFile
# CreateMoreFlies
Whose to say the space (and metadate) previously occupied by BigFile
isn't used by other files now? Even if I create a new BigFile?
Right you are: as long as the r/o guests are just grabbing blocks
they assume are still good, you have a problem.
