[G4] Much Ado About Harddrives

[Tony Gamble]

With Journaling turned on, the OS keeps a transaction log of changes  
to the file system so that, in the event of a crash or power failure,  
the file system can be restored to a good state much more quickly than  
if Journaling had not been enabled.  It has been recommended by many  
to leave Journaling turned on.  If you're doing a lot of work with  
large video files on another drive, it has been suggested to turn  
Journaling off on that drive to avoid a performance hit.
