Journaling
A journaling file system keeps track of all changes to files as transactions occur in real
time. In the event of unexpected system problems, the file system can be restored to a
consistent state by updating a prior copy of the file system for the changes made from
the point in time that the copy was made.
LAN
Local area networks or LANs are networks of computers that are geographically close
together; this usually means on the same campus. Most LANs are confined to a single
building or group of buildings. However, one LAN can be connected to other LANs
over any distance via telephone lines, high-speed fibre optic backbones, and radio
waves. A system of LANs connected in this way is called a wide-area network (WAN).
