Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention are generally directed to a method, apparatus and system for journaling an object in a file system of a computer. In one aspect, a request to make a change on the object is received. In response, a journal entry containing a set of information regarding the change is generated. The journal entry is then stored to a journal. A determination is made as to whether the object contains an indicator indicating to a journal file system to bypass storing the change to the object. If so, the journal file system bypasses storing the change to the object if the object contains the indicator.
