Hi List,

We are considering using NVRAM for external journal on some of our XFS 
filesystems, but questions emerge which I can not find answers for:

Does XFS journal everything (data and metadata) or only metadata?

Are we able to move an internal log to external log on an existing filesystem? 
(xfs_growfs has an option for it "-x", but the man page says it is "not 
implemented") - If this is not implemented, do we have alternative measures 
for creating an external log on an existing filesystem?

Thanks in advance,
