    I'm curious if Leopard is using the same file system as Tiger.

    Oh HFS + Journaled is a single file system. I gotcha.

    Yes, Journaling means the file system logs changes before they're made to improve reliability (in case of something like a crash), at the cost of performance.

    The lack of space between the HFS and the + is intentional, HFS+ is the next evolution of HFS, and HFS+ with journaling turned on is the standard for both Tiger and Leopard. Sorry for not explaining more in my first post :)
