No, all of the code to replay the journal is in user space. JFS does allow a read-only mount when the superblock is dirty. This allows fsck.jfs to replay the journal while the root is mounted read-only. / can then be remounted rw after fsck runs. -- David Kleikamp IBM Linux Technology Center - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
