Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A journaling file system is a file system that keeps track of changes not yet committed to the file system’s main part by recording the intentions of such changes in a data structure known as a “journal, ” which is usually a circular log.

Detailed explanation-2: -Journaling offers improved filesystem reliability and fast crash recovery through the use of a transaction log, or journal. The journal is an on-disk log of metadata, or data about the filesystem, that is kept up-to-date as the filesystem changes. Filesystems without journaling store changes to the updates in memory.

Detailed explanation-4: -When referring to a file system, a journaling file system is a method of keeping track of how data is manipulated on the hard drive. Each time a request is made to the hard drive, an entry is first made in the journal.
