Ben, damn glad to meet you and trim those line lengths! It looks like you're posting from Microsoft Outhouse! 340 characters is TOO FUCKING HIGH! Now on to the question you didn't ask but really needs to be asked: Is it better for you and your client to run their project on a filesystem that doesn't journal but on an operating system that stays up, or would it be better for you to run with a journaling filesystem on an OS that can't stay up? Forgive my bluntness, but I think that speaks to the heart of your question! If I'm not wrong about you, you're going to need a journaling filesystem little buddy! Ben Dover
