-The Journaling Block Device layer (JBD) isn't ext3 specific. It was design to
-add journaling capabilities on a block device. The ext3 filesystem code will
-inform the JBD of modifications it is performing (called a transaction). The
-journal supports the transactions start and stop, and in case of crash, the
-journal can replayed the transactions to put the partition back in a
-consistent state fast.
