Since when?  Must be recent.  Of course, I haven't had to deal with M$
crap for a long time now.  But NTFS under NT4 was most definitely _not_
journaled.  In fact, recovery could take a very long time (but was
usually just reinstall).  I don't call that journaled.

Anyone still have to deal with this junk?  Can you replace the NT (XP,
whatever) kernel while the system is running?  Never used to be
possible.
