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.

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....
