Want to use a dedicated disk for filesystem jouranling...

XFS is said to be configured so that you can choose to use a dedicated partition or disk/disksystem to be set aside for journaling. This increases the performance of the filesystem.

Does anyone here know how to configure this in Linux?

Are there any other Linux FS that do this?

A quick example

Code:

mkfs.xfs -l logdev=/dev/sdb1,size=10000b /dev/sda1

where /dev/sdb1 is the log or journal device and /dev/sda1 the filesystem partition

for more more info run 'man mkfs.xfs'

Is there any way to reconfigure a disk that has already been formated XFS to separate the journal to a separate partition?
