Hi,

Maybe it is a nice idea to export statistics on the usage of a journal
of a filesystem as well. That way one can more easy see if it would help
to put a journal on an other harddisk.

There is a patch posted on linux-ext4 which maintains the journal
statistics such as transaction sizes and their lifetimes. These stats
are provided through procfs and can only be used with ext4 since ext2/3
still use the jbd layer.

You can see the patch here:
