Tux3: the other next-generation filesystem

Reiser4, JFS, XFS and btrfs all use their own journalling. Leaves... ext3 to use jbd.

And OCFS2. JBD was created at a time when it seemed as though all future filesystems would be journalling filesystems. Incidentally, any filesystem developer who overlooks Stephen Tweedie's copious writings on the JBD design, does so at their peril whether they intend to use journalling or some other atomic commit model.
