Journal or not to Journal?

That is my ? I have a new external HDD.
Do I format Journaled or not?
Thanks for your replies.

Turning on journaling uses slightly more disk space, but increases your chances of recovering data if you run into trouble with the drive later. You can enable and disable journaling on a disk later without reformatting it if you change your mind about journaling in the future.

  • To Journal Or Not To Journal An External FW HD ?

    I have always journaled my FW HDs.
    However, I notice in this article by Ken Stone, it says HDs should NOT be journaled unless they are going to be used as a boot volume.
    What are the pros and cons for this?
    Ian.

    Thanks Piero.
    Everything I have read up to now has recommended journaling.
    This afternoon I noticed what you said in the Ken Stone article, but he doesn't give a reason.
    I like people to tell me what to do and then explain why - just like in Tom's books.

  • 2 questions :   journal or not to journal?    superduper clean install.

    I am sorry... I am not sure if i should have broke this up into to different entries?
    Question 1:
    I have read the search forum regarding... and i am still confused?
    are we to journal or not journal when reformatting a disk for our Final Cut Pro scratch disk files?
    Question 2:
    I emailed the guys at superduper regarding my problem. I do not understand what he is trying to tell me. I thought one of you could translate? thank you
    it starts off with my questions and then his reply:
    1) should I wait to do a clean install until i install snow leopard?
    I am looking at making a backup copy of my system drive to one of my
    internal drives temporary until i can get an external drive.
    then i will install snow leapord on my main system drive and then make
    a back up of the new clean install system drive to the external drive.
    I will then use what files I need from the internal copy to put back on
    my clean install drive. i.e. emails, favorites, iphoto, itunes files.
    Then update my new copy on my external and erase my system drive on my internal hard drive.
    **He replied**
    *A full "Backup - all files" made to a drive with Erase, then copy or*
    *Smart Update will include your email information.*
    *I strongly recommend backing up directly to a drive, and not to an*
    image.
    So then i wrote back "what does "backing up to an image"?
    He replied
    *I mean not to a "Disk Image" file - that is, a sparse image/bundle. Instead, the backup should be in its own partition, properly partitioned, written directly to the drive, and not to a container.*
    Can anyone tell me what is he trying to say?

    do not journal AV drives, only the system drive requires journaling on
    when upgrading to Snow Leopard, it is recommended to clean install so that it is a completely fresh install:
    back up all the work files to CD or a hard drive
    erase the disc
    format the hard drive as Mac OS Extended Journaled
    install Snow Leopard
    install all the applications from the original install discs and update using Software Update
    copy over your the copied workfiles
    the recommended way to set up a clone of the system drive is:
    # clone your system drive of the new clean Snow Leopard install
    # buy an internal drive that will fit in the Mac pro so you have two internal drives fitted; the original system drive and a back up clone
    # copy over the clone files onto the new internal drive so that you have an instant swap over system drive with all the applications ready to go
    a disc image is a single file containing many smaller files-forget about this for setting up the system clone

  • To Journal or not to Journal

    So I use 10.3.9 as my primary OS. I have 10.4.11 installed on a second ATA drive when I need to use Tiger. That second ATA drive was originally just used for storage of files in addition to an external drive, but now that I have an OS installed on the second ATA drive, are there any concerns I need to take into consideration in regards to moving files back and forth between the two ATA drives?
    The main reason I ask is that when I have run DiskUtility it seems that the Disks' Journaling options have changed on their own. I set up both ATA drives to "enable journaling" but it seems like they've been disabled after restarts.
    Should I just disable journaling on both drives in both OSs?
    Thanks in advance.

    Journaling is mostly useful on the startup volume. It isn't usable on a data storage volume. Read the following:

  • Business partner balance does not match journal entries message

    Dear All,
    The error message "Business partner balance does not match journal entries" appears in customer receivable report print preview. This is happened While generating the Customer Receivables Aging report by sales documents. What is the main cause ? How to resolve it ? Thanks a lot
    Rgds,
    Edu

    Hello,
    I've got solution from SAP notes. From the notes, the problem is probably caused by :
    1. Inconsistent Reconciliation
    2. Unbalanced Reconciliation
    3. Document is closed but the Document Journal Entry is Unreconciled
    4. Business Partner Balance is Incorrect
    5. Reconciling Part of Split Payment's Journal Entries
    There aresome queries need to run in order to solve the problem. If you are not a partner, let me know your e-mail so that I could send.

  • FSCM 9.0: COBOL Process GLPPPOST does not post Journal Entry correctly

    Folks,
    Hello. I am workin on FSCM 9.0 General Ledger module. "Edit Journal" is AE program that works correctly. But "Post Journal" is a COBOL program that does not works correctly.
    COBOL process GLPPPOST posts only debit accounts of a Journal entry into table PS_LEDGER but does not post credit accounts of a Journal Entry into table PS_LEDGER. When run the Ledger Report, the report has only column headers and has no data.
    Does FSCM 9.0 have a problem or COBOL process does not work correctly ? Can any folks help me ? Thanks.

    Folks,
    Hello. Thanks a lot for replying.
    I linked my Ledger Group RECORDING with my Business Unit BU01 using "Set Up Financials/Supply Chain > Business Unit Related > Ledgers For A Unit". Then linked UserID VP1 with BU01 in User Preference. I have checked all information about the 3 concepts (VP1, BU01 and RECORDING) and don't see anything wrong.
    I suspect the problem is in the Journal Line page because its Chartfileds belong to 2 SetID (SHARE and FEDRL) and 2 Business Unit (BU01 and BU02).
    When define Chartfields value using "Setup FSC > Common Definition > Design Chartfield > Define Value", I see Chartfields "Fund", "Class" and "Program" with SetID "FEDRL", and other Chartfields with SetID "SHARE". The 2 SetIDs are default in the system.
    Because one Business Unit (BU01) can link to only one SetID (SHARE), I create one more Business Unit BU02 and linked with SetID "FEDRL". Thus, when create a Journal entry using "General Ledger > Journal > Create Journal ", we type in Business Unit (BU01) and Ledger Group (RECORDING) in Header page, but in Line page, some of Chartfields link with SetID SHARE and BU01, and some of Chartfields link with SetID FEDRL and BU02. The journal entry indicates "Inter/Intra Unit Journal". When select "Edit Journal" and click "Process", the message comes up as follows:
    "Ledger Group RECORDING is not valid for Business Unit BU01. Ledger Group defined for this journal is not valid for the Business Unit BU01".
    My question is: That the Chartfields in Journal Line page link with 2 SetIDs and 2 Business Units causes the above error ? Can any folks help ? Thanks.

  • Are Photo Journals Just Not Working These Days?

    Okay, back when iPhoto for IOS was released I created a number of Photo Journals. Yesterday I created a new one and tried to store it out on iCloud. Well the journal itself seems to create okay and I can look at it, but for the life of me I can't get it to place the journal out on the journal homepage. In fact, when I delete an old journal the homepage doesn't get updated either, though the journal is deleted. What is going on? Is Apple dropping support of Photo Journals in favor of Shared Photo Streams, figuring why would you pay for storage when you can use the Photo Streams free? I'm just trying to figure out if I should invest anymore time and effort in the Journals. I like using the journals because you did get that nice home page. But if it doesn't get updated it's worthless. I can create my own index page to my Shared Photo Streams.

    Hello Christi and thanks for posting on the forums....
    Sounds like it is the phone.  I would sync the phone and save the data.  Then, try doing a soft reset on the phone.  If this does not help, you could do a hard reset as well.  However, the hard reset will erase your data and any 3rd party applications installed.  The hard reset does take the device back to Factory Settings. 
    Below is a link to the KB article for resets if you need assistance with the them.

  • XRAID will not mount (journal corruption)

    Hi guys, I have seen in the unanswered archived article below someone with exactly my problems, really looking for a solution to repair the journal within OS X, any ideas or developments on this?
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=374802
    [QUOTED HERE FOR CONVENIANCE]
    Our XServe-RAID volume does not mount anymore.
    On /var/log/system.log I could find the following.
    Feb 22 09:52:29 ogre kernel: jnl: open: journal magic is bad (0xf433f != 0x4a4e4c78)
    Feb 22 09:52:29 ogre kernel: hfs: early jnl init: failed to open/create the journal (retval 0).
    It appears the the journaling is badly screwed.
    I tryed to disable the journaling with no success.
    Here is what I get.
    ogre:/var/log root# diskutil disablejournal disk2s3
    The selected journaling request does not appear to be valid
    After some googling I foud this :
    --- QUOTE ---
    The more serious problem occurs when the contents of the journal file are corrupted in such a way that the operating system does not proceed to mount the volume. Fortunately, this problem is extremely rare (I have seen three reports of corrupted journal files at the MacFixIt Forums and Apple Discussion Forums since journaling was introduced).
    Starting the journaling process is one of the first things that happens when a volume is recognized by the operating system. There appears to be no way to intervene in single-user mode before the journal file is examined. A message about �bad journal magic� appears. Unfortunately, every tool that can turn off journaling requires that the volume already be mounted.
    If the Macintosh can boot under Mac OS 9, dealing with a corrupted journal file involves restarting under Mac OS 9 and using a utility (such as our free TechTool Lite 3.0.4) to make visible these two invisible files at the root level of the volume:
    /.journal
    /.journalinfoblock
    Once these files are made visible, they can be deleted. Mac OS 9 does not support journaling, and recognizes nothing special about these files. Neither of these files can be seen in Terminal or in single-user mode in Mac OS X, because they are considered part of the disk directory.
    If the Macintosh cannot boot under Mac OS 9, but the drive has Mac OS 9 drivers installed, the drive can be put into a Macintosh that can boot under Mac OS 9, or an ATA/IDE drive can be put into a suitable FireWire enclosure.
    The possibility that you may need to remove these two journaling files under Mac OS 9 is a good reason for making sure that all volumes you use have Mac OS 9 drivers installed. The drivers must be installed when the drive is formatted.

    Well, my disk is part of a RAID 5 matrix.... so the solution proposed does not work.
    Does any one of you has any idea ?
    [/QUOTE]

    I was using RAID mirroring two SCSI drives under 10.3 Server (not an XRAID) and found that one of the two drives was slow to spin up. The System considered the array "degraded" and made the single "good" drive available. Nothing that made any sense to me could get the "slow" drive repaired or re-incorporated into the pair. I could not split the pair for repair, and even after it was spun up and ready, Disk utility refused to repair it or its acceptable partner.
    What I eventually did, with some coaching from the forums and re-reading of Mac Help, was to delete the errant drive from the set. Then I could erase it as a single drive, and add it back into the set as a "new" replacement drive. The system accepted it as a replacement, and brought it up-to-date with its partner automatically.
    I have got to say that I find this approach completely counter-intuitive. It gives me the creeps to delete the "safety-net" drive, even if I know it is mucked up.
    But perhaps a similar approach would work in your situation.

  • Migration Assistant Error Some files from ".journal" could not be transferred?

    Hello, world.
    A few days ago I replaced my the 97% full 100GB hard drive in my Dad's Core Duo 2.0GHz Macbook Pro with a 500GB but I received an ominous error at the end of the Migration Assistant transfer.  Here are the steps I took:
    1.  Replaced physical drive.
    2.  Booted up from OS X Snow Leopard disc.
    3.  Formatted new drive as OS X Journaled using Disk Utility.
    4.  Installed OS X Snow Leopard on the new drive.
    5.  When prompted by OS X Installation, I selected transfer data from another volume.
    6.  Placed the old drive in an enclosure and connected via USB.
    7.  At this point I let Migration Assistant take over.
    It took an hour and a half or more to transfer the data and everything SEEMS fine.  However, at the end I received the following error message from Migration Assistant:
    Errors and Warnings:
    - 2013-11-02 16:15:49 -0400 Some files from ".journal" could not be transferred
    - 2013-11-02 16:15:49 -0400 Some files from ".journal_info_block" could not be transferred
    I have searched around but I've been unable to find any information on this.  In other instances of these warnings, people seemed to be pointing the finger at moving from PowerPC macs to Intel Macs but this was Intel-->Intel.
    I did find someone suggest one other thing in another thread:
    "My reading of those error messages indicates that there's something wrong with the journaling files on the PB. I suggest that you disable and reenable it on the PB"
    However, I do not know how to enable or disable journaling without reformatting the drive from scratch as journaled or non-journaled.
    (post found here:  https://discussions.apple.com/message/8675337#8675337)
    Question:  Should I be worried and does anyone know specifically what this error indicates?  Is it possible that my dad's old hard drive was NOT formatted for journaling and MA was looking for these journal related files and unable to find them?
    Thank you all in advance for your help,
    Nick

    What options did you select for Migration Assistant to transfer? For instance, did you select network & computer settings?
    "Opt" sounds like the name of a folder, not a file type. On your 13" MacBook, do you have any folder by that name, especially in your home folder?
    Also, have you run Disk Utility's *verify disk* check on the MacBook's drive?

  • Trying to install Lion. says this disk is not enabled (journaled) - but when I look at the drive it actually is os extended journaled - Stuck! Have tried repair disk permissions and still no luck

    trying to install Lion. says this disk is not enabled (journaled) - but when I look at the drive it actually is os extended journaled - Stuck! Have tried repair disk permissions and still no luck - any thoughts? Have spent two weeks trying to get apple support and itunes to help me get lion after a hard drive fail and now they are closed and I really just want to get moving!

    Are you installing OS X Lion over an existing installation of Snow Leopard, or are you reinstalling?
    First be sure you have everything on your system backed up. Then reboot with the Command-R keys held to get to the OS X Lion recovery volume. In here, select Disk Utility and use the First Aid tab in here to run a verification on your boot drive. If there are any errors, fix them and then try the installation again.
    The next step would be to format the drive, so with your backup secured, use Disk Utility's Erase tab to re-format the drive to Mac OS X Extended (journaled), and then quit Disk Utilty and attempt the installation again.

  • Journaling could not be enabled

    I always format my drive using OS Extended (Journaled) I had always assumed the HD in my MacBook Pro was formatted this way. I recently cloned my HD to an external drive and in the process discovered the HD was not Journaled. Upon researching the issue I discovered I could enable journaling through Disk Utility.
    I selected the external clone and enable journaling highlighted. I selected it and journaling was enabled on the external. I tried the same procedure on the internal HD and I get the dialog Journaling could not be enabled on this HD.
    How can I resolve this? Disk Warrior says all is fine

    Here is a summary of my solution: Remember, after I cloned my HD to the external, I discovered my internal drive had not been journaled for some unexplained reason.
    The clone was not journaled as well. I assumed the file system was just copied from the internal HD to the clone. I successfully enabled journaling on the clone using Disk Utility, but failed enabling journaling on internal HD. Booting from the clone did not help. Permissions repair, and DiskWarrior did not help. Journaling could not be enabled. Then I thought I would just do a Smart Update using SuperDuper from the clone to the internal HD, thinking the file system, journaled, would copy to the internal HD. Superduper Crashed each time I tried to Smart Update the internal HD. Detailed reports were offered to be forwarded to Apple in a dialog box. Anyway, solution was to make a second clone, just in case, and then erased the internal HD and formatted extended journaled. I then used the original clone to restore the internal HD. Both volumes are now journaled and up to date. Phew!

  • FCS, MacBook Pro C2D, G-Raid (FW800):  Journaled or Not for HDV video.

    I have this setup (due to limited space left available on my MBP) using an external FW800 G-raid. And I would like to capture HDV media to it. I was wondering if I need to format my drive to be journaled or not. Also I have been reading that some people were saying not to use FW? Is there something I don't know about that I shouldn't be using FW?

    You do not need to have your external drive set to journaled.
    Firewire works just fine for the mass of users. Those that have problems tend to also use Canon cameras which have their own firewire issues.

  • Difference between a Journal header and a journal line

    Hi,
    Can anyone please explain the difference between a Journal header and a journal line ? Can we have different journal headers for the same journal import process?
    Thanks and regards,

    Not sure if I know what you mean, but...
    You can organise your journals by using journal headers. A batch can contain many Headers. Like this:
    Batch No 1
    - Journal Header 1
       - Line 1       Deb: 200$
       - Line 2                      Cre: 100$
       - Line 3                      Cre: 100$
    - Journal Header 2
       - Line 1       Deb: 100$
       - Line 2                      Cre: 100$When you run Journal Import, you run for a specific source. So Yes you can have different journal headers for the same import process (if you mean import from GL Interface).
    Does this clearify?
