NASLite Network Attached Storage

How much drive space is required for journaling? What are the advanages to using journaling?

TIA...

NASLite-2 uses the standard journaling mode "data=ordered". As far as the size of the journal, this is dependent on the size of the device.

I've never really paid attention to the size, when you format a drive in NL2 you should see something like this telling you how big the journal is :

Superblock backups stored on blocks:
32768, 98304, 163840, 229376

Writing inode tables: done
Creating journal (8192 blocks): done


Here's a nice explanation on the merits of ext3 with journaling.
