Soft updates

for garbage collection after a crash. However, enabling journaling on a file system with soft updates disables the ability to make file system snapshots. This may cause issues when file systems are dumped with the -L option, as snapshots are used to guarantee file system coherency during the dump.

In effect, blocks may be flushed at any time and the soft updates code will always provide the disk a consistent version of the metadata (as long as it knows which blocks have physically been flushed). Recovery then simply becomes a matter of running a background walk of the file system when it is

Soft updates allow only asynchronous metadata writes that do not render the on-disk file system inconsistent, or that the only inconsistency that ever happens is a storage space leak (space marked allocated when not used by any file). It avoids having to do ordered synchronous metadata writes by

Data that is unlinked from the metadata dependency graph before writing it to disk has begun, does not need to be written to disk at all. For example, creating a file, using it for a short period of time, and then deleting it may cause no disk activity at all.

Neither journaling nor soft updates guarantees that no data will be lost, but they do make sure that the file system remains consistent.

An advantage of a file system with soft updates is that it can be mounted immediately after a crash, since there is no log replay.
