Journaling File Systems

Journaling file systems are designed to improve data reliability by keeping a record, or journal, of all changes before they are actually written to the storage device. This way, if there's a power failure or system crash, the system can review the journal to recover and ensure no data is lost or corrupted. It’s similar to a safety checklist that helps maintain consistency, making data management more robust and minimizing the risk of corruption, especially during unexpected shutdowns. Journaling helps keep your files safe and your system stable, even in problematic situations.
