I think it's worth keeping in mind that, at some point, Haiku will have
to support filesystems based on multiple volumes (ZFS, Btrfs, maybe
LVM). Maybe that could be done generically and used to support external
journals? There would need to be a general way to determine which
volumes are part of the same filesystem.
