What does it not? > Data > journaling only makes sense for an external journal on an ssd or > similar ~2 years ago I have disabled full data journaling for a short time but at this point an application crashed while it was writing a lot of files. The result was that many files got damaged which encouraged me to never disable full data journaling again. Now I'm seeing only 2 possible states of a file: Either it is only registered in the filesystem with a size of 0 bytes or it is completely written. I was never able to reproduce a half-written file with full data journaling enabled. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug.
