Hi there, I thought that I'd try a gjournal'd UFS on one of my spare drives (so: dedicated to the task, formatted from clean, per the instructions in the gjournal man page.) The filesystem itself seems to be working swimmingly, although it isn't heavily used. In the time that I've had it running, though, I've had two power outages that have resulted in unexpected shutdowns, and I was surprised to find that the boot process did nothing unexpected: file system not marked clean: fsck before you can mount. So both times I fsck'd the drive, and as near as I can tell this took exactly as long as fsck on a regular UFS system of similar size. Isn't the journalling operation supposed to confer a shortcut benefit here? I know that the man page doesn't mention recovery by journal play-back, but I thought that it didn't need to: that's the whole point. Is there a step that I'm missing? Perhaps a gjournal-aware version of fsck that I should run instead of regular fsck, that will quickly mark the file system clean? (Running -current as of last weekend, if that matters.)
