In recent history, journaling file systems were viewed as an oddity and
thought of primarily in terms of research. But today, a journaling file system
(ext3) is the default in Linux. Discover the ideas behind journaling file systems,
and learn how they provide better integrity in the face of a power failure or system
crash. Learn about the various journaling file systems in use today, and peek into
the next generation of journaling file systems.
Several container widgets exist in GTK+, and with the toolkit’s API, you

implementation introduces you to the basic model of GTK+ geometry management and
gives you a feel for what to consider and expect when implementing container
widgets.
