I always liked Sun's approach to this in Online Disk Suite - journal at the block device level rather than the FS / application level. Something I haven't seen from the Linux md-utils or DM.

You can do data block journalling in ext3.  But the performance impact
can be significant for some work loads.   TNSFAAFL.

Sure, but on a large system with a big array, you just move the journal to a seperate diskset. That can make a big speed improvement for those types of update patterns where you care about always applying updates sequentially, such as a filesystem or a database.
