	Not really journalling is there to fix breaks back to a normal state
not to keep them from getting broken in the first place.

really I firmly believe that only /bin /sbin /etc and a few others
should be under root and that all others should be subpartitioned /home
/var and all the other items this has worked very well for me over the
last few years (I dont use UPSs and my wife is always tripping the
breakers in mid summer and mid winter with AC and heaters)
Works pretty good in the companies I set up (but with UPS and other
items I have had my best testing done to me at home.
