I think Solaris 8 introduced ufs logging in the kernel. Mount with
"logging" option and it's automatic, uses unused space in the filesystem
or something like that.

Other Solaris versions can use a logging or "trans" device in disksuite,
as can 8 and later.

There may be performance benefits or penalties in either direction. I
have tended to use the kernel-based logging because it doesn't require
disk reconfiguration to implement. YMMV, of course.
