Hi, I was trying to list problems with ordered journaling mode that are not present in the full (data=journal) journaling mode. Please letme know if this is incorrect: Assume that the following sequence of events take place: 1. an already existing file A is deleted 2. new file B is created 3. blocks of A are allocated to B 4. blocks of B are written 5. inode of A & B are updated In ordered data journaling mode, if the system crashes after writing the blocks of B but before updating the metadata of A (that is, between steps 4 and 5), then A might see spurious data. However this problem cannot happen if we have a full journaling mode. Is the above example correct ? If not, could you please give me a situation where ordered data journaling mode will not give as much reliability as the full journaling mode ? thanks, Vijayan _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
