Journalling sucks. I was actually _really_ hoping that somebody would come along and tell everybody that this whole journal-logging is stupid, and that it's just better to not ever re-write blocks on disk, but instead write to new blocks with version numbers (and not re-use old blocks until new versions are stable on disk). There was even somebody who did something like that for a PhD thesis, I forget the details (and it apparently died when the thesis was presumably accepted ;).
