Comment When the system fails during a journal write.. (Score 1) 145

If the system fails during a write to the journal, I believe that the whole operation is regarded as failed, and what's known in database circles as a ROLLBACK occurs... That is, since the disk operation (e.g. unlink) couldn't be completed, it's not done at all, and thus not left half-done and messy.
