You still have to run a full-blown fsck. That problem renders gjournal rather useless. > Also; Read-only XFS support was commited to 7.0 last week.

But write support is probably ten times more complex than read-only support, so that's a huge amount of work. I wouldn't hold my breath. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co.
