SubjectRe: Is ReiserFS really a journaling file system, or is it really just a synchronous-metadata file system like BSD FFS?

It depends on how the full journalling is done. If the journal is allowed
to exist on a separate device from the rest of the file system, you should
be able to preserve performance. Solid state disks would probably be the
optimum media for a such a journal.
