# Set the NOCOW attribute for directories of journal files. This flag
# is inheredited by their new files and sub-directories. Matters only
# for btrfs filesystems.
#
# WARNING: Enabling the NOCOW attribute improves journal performance
# substantially, but also disables the btrfs checksum logic. In
# btrfs RAID filesystems the checksums are needed for rebuilding
# corrupted files. Without checksums such rebuilds are not
# possible.
#
# In a single-disk filesystem (or a filesystem without redundancy)
# enabling the NOCOW attribute for journal files is safe, because
# they have their own checksums and a rebuilding wouldn't be possible
# in any case.
