Journal File System

A Journal File System is a type of file management system used by computers to help keep data organized and safe. When data is changed or saved, the Journal File System first records these changes in a "journal" before making them permanent. This process helps protect against data loss or corruption, especially during unexpected power failures or crashes. By keeping a log of changes, the system can quickly restore the last consistent state of the files, ensuring greater reliability and easier recovery of information.
