Subject: [ext4] Documentation patch
Date: Mon, 01 Dec 2008 17:46:56 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <8763m3u9kv.fsf@basilikum.skogtun.org> (raw)
My first patch, hope it goes through ok!
Applies to 2.6.28-rc6-00184-gd9d060a.
Compare ext4's journalling with anything but ext3's. These use the same
journalling modes, most other Linux filesystems do only metadata
journalling.

workloads.
