kjournald - what does this process actually do?

[Christian Unger]

Hi there

I was wondering, what does kjournald actually do. I know it relates to using 
jounralised file systems such as ext3 and reiserfs, but that's about it. I 
wasn't really hoping to dig through source code, but :P ...

Also, what would cause a kjournald process to go down?
