Fig. 1. Journaling mechanism. When a new write operation is issued at T1, then the data will be committed to the journal area at T2. After then, the data will be finally checkpointed to the file system at T3.

Fig. 7. Detailed operation. D means data and M means metadata. When a new write operation is issued, the buffer monitor classifies each buffer (1) and the newly allocated buffers are inserted to the I/O Completion checking list.(2). After then, the journaling daemon wakes up and journals the already existing buffers (3). At this point, it cannot journal the metadata buffer since there are still data buffers that are not written to the disk. Because there is nothing to do, the journaling daemon sleeps. Later, kernel’s buffer flusher flushes the newly allocated buffers (4) then the buffers in the checking list are changed to I/O Completed. When the journaling daemon wakes up, now it can journal the metadata (5) because of the data buffers are resided in the FS area. After that, the checking list is cleared.
