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?

HFS.UTIL(8) BSD System Manager's Manual HFS.UTIL(8)
NAME
hfs.util -- HFS/HFS+ file system utility
SYNOPSIS
hfs.util -m device mountpoint [mountflag1] [mountflag2] [mountflag3] [mountflag4]
hfs.util -p device [mountflag1] [mountflag2] [mountflag3] [mountflag4]
hfs.util -J [size] mountpoint
hfs.util -U mountpoint
hfs.util -N device
hfs.util -I mountpoint
hfs.util [-aksu] device
DESCRIPTION
The hfs.util command supports the mounting, probing, and unmounting of HFS file systems.
Options:
-a Adopt permissions for the HFS file system at device
-I Print out status information about the journal on the HFS file system at mountpoint
-J [size] Enable journaling on the HFS file system mounted on mountpoint. An optional size may be specified (e.g. 32M for a 32
megabyte journal).
-k Get the UUID key for the HFS file system at device.
-m Mount the HFS file system located on device onto mountpoint with the flags mountflag1 mountflag2 mountflag3 mountflag4
-M Force mount the HFS file system located on device onto mountpoint with the flags mountflag1 mountflag2 mountflag3
mountflag4. This is a deprecated option.
-N Disable journaling on a HFS+ file system located at device
-p Probe the device for an HFS file system using the flags mountflag1 mountflag2 mountflag3 mountflag4
-s Set the UUID key (generates a new UUID value) for the HFS file system at device
-u Unmount the HFS file system located at device
-U Disable journaling on the HFS+ file system mounted on mountpoint
The mountflags referenced above are either:
o removable or fixed
o readonly or writeable
o suid or nosuid
o dev or nodev
Note that for the device references above, you must only supply the last component of the path to the device in question, such as disk0s2
rather than /dev/disk0s2.
