Cool to know that journaling isn't such a big deal (in term of code complexity). 1000 lines of code. I'm kinda surprised ... ;-) -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Edward McCall [mailto:mccall@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, March 29, 2002 5:49 PM To: openbeos@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [openbeos] Re: BeOS, BFS discussion on theregister > > Just wanted to point to this great article: > > http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/4/24648.html > > > > " A lot of people think journaling is a really difficult, > > complicated > > thing.

This might be a long shot, but those guys seem pretty open about how and why they did things. I have Dominics book - and I haven't read it yet :) so I don't know if how to do journaling is in there, but if its not, I think that if you email them they would be glad to mail you back saying how and why they did things in the journaling code. Just a thought that may help you get the code more BeOS-like.
