Hi

I'm looking for a project.
Something that would actually be used.

Preferely something with kernel and geom.

I have looked over the project page, but not sure where to start.

I'd like to see the ability to run gjournal without reformatting. If
you could create a dummy file inside the filesystem, then use that
area for the journal, it might be possible. I'm sure that would let a
lot more people see if journalling is right for them.

I don't think you need to reformat. Just turning off softupdates and
adding the journal on another device should work.

I think what Mike means is that eliminating the need of another device
and just use space in the current file system, perhaps a dummy file with
VV_SYSTEM.

Cheers,


Yea, that would be interesting, indeed. If we only had shrinkfs for UFS2. :)
