Still, data journalling would be nice.  I must say that when reiserfs gets
the power taken out from under it, you don't half end up with your
recently worked on files containing pieces of each other.

With data journalling, this would not be a problem; although of course
files could end up in a half-updated state, which to a given application
may as well be corrupted.  It would be a bit slower, unless your journal is on a seperate device, but that can't be helped.
