Mac OS X to Get Journaling FS

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the journal-this dept.

overunderunderdone writes "According to eWeek, Apple Computer is planning to introduce a new journaling file system code-named 'Elvis' with the 10.2.2 release. Supposedly it will run on top of HFS+ and will be turned off by default. Though it will cost you 10% to 15% performance penalty the article says it is more extensive than NTFS and is on par with BeOS's 64-bit journaling file system. Not surprising since it is being developed by the same person - Dominic Giampaolo." I've been super impressed by OS X having used it as my primary laptop for the last couple weeks. It really is a great unix box- and this is one of the important missing puzzle pieces.

    How does him saying he's impressed with OS X translate into that?

    Drat, it got modded up, not down. Well, serves me right for being a pussy and posting (what I consider) humor as an AC.

    Ah well.

    ...but I had to know.

    I hesitated and nearly turned around - but, I decided - I had to know. In the end, I, gave in to my curiosity. So I looked around to see if she had come back from from the Platters concert. She'd gone with a scuzzy looking friend who'd twisted her arm to get her to go - to 'decompress' he said. I think the guy has a one track mind, after all, she was really stacked. Slowly I opened the cover and read the words... "Dear Journal..." it went on ..."I've been seeking and not finding. I've got to get my head on straight and fly right... No more fragmented block-head behavior... Life goes so smoothly when I remember where I put things... No more crashing and burning on weekends ... take writing class..."

    My suspicions were for naught. Her mind was on work - not him. Guess I won't have to give him the boot. The magnetic attraction I thought was there was a bad read on my part... I closed the book and walked away - humming a little tune.
