Operating Systems OS X (Apple) Should I disable filesystem journaling for my Macbook? Post 302954485 by Ultrix on Tuesday 8th of September 2015 11:55:39 AM

Should I disable filesystem journaling for my Macbook?

I just learned how to turn filesystem journaling on and off using the diskutil command. I'm thinking I probably don't need it on. I mean, journaling is mostly useful if you have mission-critical files that are frequently being modified, like on a web server or banking system. I don't think it's really that beneficial for a laptop that I just use as my personal computer. On the other hand, turning filesystem journaling off might result in a slight performance boost since there would be less disk thrashing (I'm using an older Macbook with a magnetic hard drive, not one of the newer SSDs). What do you think?
