Journalled fs's have the property that their file systems are always coherent (provided other corruption has not occurred). This is often advantageous in terms of providing you with the ability to at least boot. The fs code is oranised so that everuthig is set up for a metadata change, and then a single "final" atomic operation occurs that finalizes the change. It is THAT property that is desirable. It is not intrinsic to journalled file systems, but in practice only journalled file systems have implemented it. In other words, what I'd like here is a journalled file system with a zero size journal.
