I wish to use #OpenBSD as a desktop OS (in place of #Linux), but the lack of a journaling file system is concerning and a deal-breaker. It's truly my last hiccup.
@stutstev I find my #OpenBSD workstations to be super stable (aside from the 2013 Mac Pro that I'm fighting GPU issues with, but that's not the OS's fault.) A journaling filesystem certainly saves headaches after a crash, but it doesn't really prevent data loss nor lessen the need for backups. So, as long as you have good, frequent, backups and the workstation isn't crashing frequently, there's not much downside to a non-journaling file system.
