Description
File system journaling, or logging, can allow reconstruction of file system data after a system crash, thus preserving the integrity of data that may have otherwise been lost. Journaling file systems typically do not require consistent checks upon booting after a crash, which can improve system availability. Some file systems employ other mechanisms to ensure consistency which also satisfy this requirement.

Check Text ( C-27675r3_chk )
Verify local file systems use journaling or another mechanism ensuring file system consistency. Procedure: # mount -v \| grep '^/dev/' \| egrep -v '(logging\|vxfs\|zfs\|devfs)' \| grep -v /dev/fd If a mount is listed, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-23880r1_fix)
Convert local file systems to use journaling or another mechanism ensuring file system consistency.
