Putting ext3 journal on separate drive

["Dotan Cohen" <dotancohen@gmail.com>]

I was recently advised to put the journal of a particular partition on
a separate drive. How is that done? Specifically, I have the partition
/home/user/.thumbnails on /dev/hda3 and to speed access to the
~/.thumbnails directory I was advised that the journal for /dev/hda3
should be on /dev/hdb. How to do that?

Thanks in advance.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
