[Jfs-discussion] Recover+Notify

[Nico S. <nic...@sc...>]

Hello dear JFS-developers,

first of all thanks for the nice journaling filesystem. In my current
test (home-user alike, bonnie+mutt using for testing) jfs works pretty
good on top of dm-crypt, with much lesser cpu-usage than any other
linux-filesystem.

But I have some questions:

1. Is it wanted, that the jfs-journal is recovered by fsck.jfs and not
   by the kernel module? XFS, Reiser and ext3 in contrast
   'repair' themself, when getting mounted.
[mutt]
2. When using mutt with reiser or xfs, it reacts differently when I have
   a mailbox opened: With jfs new messages are _not_ automatically shown.
   With reiser or xfs, mutt seems to get notified, when the current
   directory (Maildir/new) gets a new mail.

   Is that a problem of
      a) dnotify
      b) inotify
      c) mutt?

Thanks for help in advance,

Nico
