I'd hve to say a journaling file system has saved me several times,
particularly when that damned energex man starts flicking that switch on
and off in the middle of the night. So given the choice, go for a
journaling file system.
For those running Solaris, look at implimenting the "logging" option in
your vfstab file.
Cheers
Peter
