Wait, I thought the whole point of the journal was to handle unexpected disconnects more gracefully. Per Wikipedia:
A journaling file system is a file system that logs changes to a journal (usually a circular log in a dedicated area of the file system) before committing them to the main file system. Such file systems are less likely to become corrupted in the event of power failure or system crash. That said, FAT32 is (as far as I still know) the only officially supported partition type in the first release. EXT3 will probably still work, and NTFS is probably the first one to be officially added, post release. On Oct 20, 2009, at 1:00 AM, Mnyb wrote: > > audiomuze;474688 Wrote: >> Thanks Dean.
