# volumeSupportsJournaling

A Boolean value that indicates whether the volume format supports a journal used to speed recovery in case of unplanned restart (such as a power outage or crash).

```
var volumeSupportsJournaling: Bool? { get }
```

## Discussion

A value of `true` doesn’t necessarily mean the volume is actively using a journal.
