Yes, I think a journaling file system for Linux would be a VERY good idea -
personally, I'm fed up of having a disk check (fsck) every time I get a crash
(ie, when I haven't shutdown cleanly - that's me, Mr dirty shutdown, always
locking up in X, and who knows what... You just CAN'T get the staff these days).
Seriously... IMHO, Linux has alot to learn from NT in this respect. Hopefully,
someone, somewhere (in Summer time...) will have the time and where-with-all to develop something similar to NTFS for Linux.
Until then, I'll wait for Leonard's driver for the Mylex RAID cards (and where's
the romance in that, I ask you?).
Happy Hacking. Al.
P.S. Your personal web site is unusual to me - is it customary to be so forth-
right on-line where you exist? Perhaps so, but your mentioning the VIC-20
brought back memories.... Plus ca change, plus la meme, non?

Speaking of spending the day fscking your disks - has anyone considered
developing jfs or any journaling fs for Linux (to avoid just this
massive fscking issue)? I haven't read up on what reiserfs promises
or is supposed to deliver, but I haven't heard much hoo-hah on the
linux-kernel list with regards to any journaling fs support.
