Not really, but opinions differ on this subject.

A journal is basically the same as a log.  But a journaled fs has the
journal/log _in addition_ to some other data layout.  A log-structured
fs _only_ has the journal/log.

JFFS2 is log-structured and the name is a bug, imo.  My personal
implementation of a JFFS2 successor is called LOGFS, btw.  It makes
perfect sence, since LOGFS is just as log-structured as JFFS2 is
journaled - not at all. ;)
