"Mac OS X: About File System Journaling" <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107249>, states that journalling "enhances computer availability and fault resilience, which is especially noteworthy for servers. Journaling protects the integrity of the file system on Xserve and other computers using Mac OS X Server in the event of an unplanned shutdown or power failure. It also helps to maximize the uptime of servers and connected storage devices by expediting repairs to the affected volumes when the system restarts." INHO, I conclude that it's great for protecting servers from unexpected outages and allows automatic restarts, but I consider it overkill for single-user, nonnetworked, home machines. Thus, journalling is disabled on my machine.
