RE: journaling file system on thinkpad?
Hi,
You should be able to do:
`tune2fs -j /dev/hdxx`
It will create a .journal in the root of the partition. If you want the
journal file hidden, unmount the partition and do it again. You'd
probably need a rescue disk to do this with your root partition.
Hope this helps.

Subject: journaling file system on thinkpad?
Hi,
I'm running woody with kernel 2.4.18 on an IBM i1200 Thinkpad. I am
using
ext2 filesystem for all partitions (but swap:-). It happend more than
once, that I left the machine on battery and left the office for more
than 3h ....
Has anyone a thinkpad (or any other laptop) running a journaling
filesystem (reiserfs, xfs, ext3)? Is it safe (in the kernel
config it's still mentioned as EXPERIMENTAL) and running stable?
And: How to switch from ext2 to journaling? I have recent mondo/mindi
backups of the machine. But what about booting from it with LILO?
bye
micha
PS This is a laptop-question; I would like to hear something about
performance on IDE disks as well.
Linux is user friendly, it's just a bit picky about it's friends....
