Do I need geom_journal under a SU+J file system?

Hi,

I cannot find any information about SU+J in the handbook, if it makes sense to have geom_journal under a file system that uses it.

I used tunefs to enable SU+J, but I noticed that I did not try to remove the GEOM journaling layer. And now I am asking myself, if you really need it.
 
SU+J supplants gjournal. Gjournal is a "hack" to add journalling to filesystems that don't support journalling. SU+J has a journal. You really don't want to journal your journalled filesystem. :)
 
Thanks. It should be mentioned somewhere in the docs, because many people will migrate their file systems from UFS journaling to journaled soft-updates.
 
I'm impressed with SU+J - I had to power off my FreeBSD 9 system yesterday due to KDE crashing, it quickly came back up and nothing was slowed down due to fsck grinding the hard disk
