I may be adding more questions than I am answering, but why should it matter
if a disk is SAN-based vs. DAS (local)? I would assume journaling would work
at the drive letter (logical) level, meaning it would be clueless as to the
underlying disk access method. To the O/S and software, it should just look
like a drive/volume.

Maybe I'm missing something more to the puzzle. But I would think it would
work for you.

Good luck
Don

Ok I finally figured out why journaling is not working on this server. It's
because the 4 million plus files are on a SAN attached disk and journaling
does not support that, only local.

What good is that????? Is there any good reason to use SAN disk these days
anyway?
