Summary

This article discussed in the user list recently, it is used, but it has outdated information. I rewrite it keeping the text from previous version as much as possible.

  1. Soft update with journalling added as primary option.
  2. gjournal examples checked, changed to new driver names, considered discussions in forums.freensd.org
  3. sysinstall in text and corresponding pictures removed
  4. FAQ expanded

Now the article corresponds to the FreeBSD version 13-15.

/home partition on my desktop has UFS, and it survived all my experiments with journalling on it, including gjournal clear for data provider without clear for journal provider (system hanged after reboot, restored from boot USB).

I got comment from @marck to change 'filesystem' to 'file system', I will change it in the next diff for this review. In the documentation 'file system' won 'filesystem' with score 614:320 times in the texts.

I suppose, review from native English speaker is needed, otherwise it looks almost perfect!

Some very small nitpicking changes will follow separately.
