They probably have hooks and steps to cover the problems we're talking=20
about.

For what you mentioned Solaris does, we could make journaling a mount=20
option. You create a file system with a journal but leave it empty. Then=20
just do all your operations meta-data-synchronous, and all's well. If it=20
was journaled before but isn't now, just roll the journal forward, and=20
you're fine.

Take care,
