Hi, what would be the best choice?

Yes, this is what I have done for my 9.0 servers. Unfortunately you need to be in single user mode if you need to change /'s setting. This is because you cannot change this option while a file system is mounted read+write. Rebooting into single user mode is the easiest way to do this, as it leaves you with / mounted read only and everything else dismounted for you.

Then I ran:

tunefs -j disable /<mountpoint>

For each volume that journaling was enabled for.

As a side note remove the .sujournal file in the base of each volume afterwards as it just takes up space.

After doing this I have been using dump(8) nightly via cron(8) for about a week now under 9.0 without issue. Running it on 11 servers currently.

2. dump the unmounted partitions with a live cd, per example
