[QUOTE="technologist, post: 117389, member: 4134"] I keep seeing this... Filesystem journaling has nothing to do with defragging. Journaling is a feature that maintains filesystem integrity by keeping a "journal" of activity. If a system crash occurs, the "journal" can be used to detect files that were corrupted when the system crashed. Defragmenting is a process that ensures that files are stored contiguously on the disk for faster performance. Defragging -> SPEED Journaling -> RELIABILITY OS X has [b]both[/b] filesystem journaling and automatic defragmenting. [/QUOTE]
