Re: journaling on EXT3

I have an EXT3 which is not journaled.
I would like to enable it.

So I can modify the entry in fstab to read "data=journal",
but I am unsure what command is required on the live system
to 'convert' the EXT3 to journaling.

Suggestions would be appreciated.


so you have ext2? ext3 is exactly like ext2 with journal added

first google result for convert ext2 to ext3
http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/ext2toext3.htm

basically, this is the line to add journal to a ext2 filesystem:
tune2fs -j /dev/hda2
