Version 0.3 of journald is now available at: http://untroubled.org/journald/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes in version 0.3 - Modified the core logic to use only a single file (making it suitable for raw devices). Wraparound is handled by first sync'ing all filesystems. - Introduced three journal writing mechanisms, fdatasync, mmap+msync, open+direct (O_DIRECT), and open+sync (O_DSYNC). O_DIRECT support is untested. - Modified file format to introduce a "page size" on which all writes are alligned, and switched from MD4 to 64-bit CRC. - journald now only delays to commit if there are no other open connections. Development of this version has been sponsored by FutureQuest, Inc.

It reads records from multiple clients and writes them to a single journal in such a way that the client only sees a successful completion only after the journal is guaranteed to be written to disk (a transaction). Development versions of journald are available via anonymous CVS. Set your CVSROOT to ":pserver:cvs@bruce-guenter.dyndns.org:/CVS", login with an empty password, and check out the "journald" module.
