That's true. And even if the "wrong" copy of the
jfslog was used to sync the other one, it wouldn't
matter -- the only operation in the jfslog that would
result in a "lost" transaction would be the 'commit'
-- and then only if the transaction had really
completed, so no problem ... [overly simplistic, I
realize.]
