Soft updates can also add journaling that reduces the time spent by
|
||||
.Xr fsck_ffs 8
|
||||
cleaning up a filesystem after a crash from several minutes to a few seconds.
|
||||
The journal is placed in an inode named
|
||||
.Pa .sujournal ,
|
||||
and is kept as a circular log of segments containing
|
||||
records that describe metadata operations.

To create a new file system with both the soft updates
|

and soft updates journaling enabled,

|

Implements a block level journaling of a UFS file system,
|
||||
which is for both data and metadata.
|
||||
To enable this,
|
||||
create a
|
||||
.Xr gjournal 8
|
||||
GEOM provider for a block device by using the
|
||||
following command:
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
.D1 Nm gjournal label Ar da0
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
In this example,
|
||||
.Pa /dev/da0
|
||||
is used as the target block device,
|
||||
and
|
||||
.Pa /dev/da0.journal
|
||||
is created.
|
||||
Then create a new file system by using
|
||||
.Xr newfs 8
|
||||
with the block level journaling flag and mount it:
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
.D1 Nm newfs Fl J Ar /dev/da0.journal
|
||||
.D1 Nm mount Fl o Cm async Ar /dev/da0.journal Ar /mnt
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
.Cm async
|
||||
option is not mandatory but recommended for better performance
|
||||
because the journaling guarantees the consistency of an
|
||||
.Cm async
|
||||
mount.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
It is also possible to enable the block level journaling
|
||||
on an existing file system.
|
||||
To do so,
|
||||
use
|
||||
.Xr gjournal 8
|
||||
utility to label the underlying block device and
|
||||
.Xr tunefs 8
|
||||
utility to enable the block level journaling flag:
