Isn't the plan to add a journal of transactions
to ext2 (or ext3) in order to avoid long fsck
times? As I understand it, journalling filesystems
just have this journal, whereas logging filesystems
have a totally different structure from ordinary
filesystems (and higher performance). However, I
may be wrong ... better to ask on linux-kernel for
solid information.
