Sorry for the multiple posts, but this topic is fascinating and important.

If enabling barriers has a performance impact, then putting the Journal onto a separate disk
with barriers enabled (Mirrored or not), and leaving the FS data on a disk with barriers
disabled may be a short term compromise for some users?
