Re: Journaling layer update - any really good programmer want to start working on the userland journal scanning utility ? You need to have a LOT of time available!
IMHO it's not necessary to seperate journaling options/config from fstab
unless they are making fstab very hard to maintain or there are tech
difficulties in doing so etc.
For a user who is familiar with unix or unix-like systems but new to
dflybsd, the first thing he may be trying is 'man mount' or 'man fstab'
if he wants to look for any fs-related options he doesn't know.
mountctl.conf sounds relevant and neat too :)
