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. 1) Unmount the filesystem. 2) You have to create a journal on that filesystem. Use the "tune2fs" command with the "-j" option to accomplish this. 3) 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). 4) Mount the filesystem again. I hope this helps.
