I am trying to turn journaling on on ext3 non-root filesystems and must be missing something. I added data=journal to the options portion of the /etc/fstab entry, unmounted and mounted to no avail. Next I tried a mount with -Odata=journal, again with no effect.
Is there something else I need to do to start data journaling on a filesystem that currently doesn not have it?
I understand that you are trying to activate journaling on a filesystem that does not have this yet. So my guess is that your filesystem is still ext2.
Actually, it has always been ext3 but journaling is not activated by default. I also found instructions in Section 34.2.3 of the SuSE Linus Documentation though not as clear as your recipe. The missing piece was Step 2, creating the journal. Any comments on journal location or size?
Unmount the filesystem.
You have to create a journal on that filesystem. Use the "tune2fs" command with the "-j" option to accomplish this.
Change the "/etc/fstab" entry for that file system: change "ext2" into "ext3". Optionally, you can add the "data=journal" attribute to this entry (the attribute "data=ordered" is the default).
Mount the filesystem again.
I hope this helps.
It does. Thank you, Lucky -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
