Macintosh HD Info

[Mr. Incredible]

Hey guys, this might be a stupid question, but I just noticed this, and I'm not sure why its like this.

But when looking at my info, in the General Section, right next to Format, it says: Mac OS Extended (Journaled)

First time seeing that, and I'm not sure what it means exactly. Help?

It's the format of the drive. It's also known as HFS+. It's correct, you have nothing to worry about

It's the file system your mac is using.

Info about it from apple support http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2355

"Journaling" is a feature that helps protect the file system against power outages or hardware component failures, reducing the need for repairs. Journaling was first introduced in Mac OS X Server 10.2.2, then to the non-server OS in Mac OS X 10.3 Panther. This document explains some of the benefits of using this feature and how it works.
