your problem here is that you have two separately controlled "automatic"
recovery mechanisms.  Since journalling is at the OS level and the other
mechanism is at the application level it seems inevitable to me that you
will have differences. From what I can see you will always be in the
situation where someone will have to make a call on where to apply your
journals too.

Note that I'm ignoring committment control issues here for the purposes of
discussion

If you have some kind of crash, then the files that are journaled will be
potentially recoverable right up to what was written to the database
(obviously this is dependent on how you manage your journals and hardware).
In the case of the other files, it is not quite so clear which files will
be recovered. I presume that if you are not using journaling they won't be
recoverable except via backup.

If the application doesn't use journalling at any level and can't be
recovered, then its kind of pointless to recover your custom data as it has
nothing to refer to.

Maybe you colud explain a bit further - I feel like all I;ve done is
restate your problem :)
