I was recently advised to put the journal of a particular partition on
a separate drive. How is that done? Specifically, I have the partition
/home/user/.thumbnails on /dev/hda3 and to speed access to the
~/.thumbnails directory I was advised that the journal for /dev/hda3
should be on /dev/hdb. Ho

The journal is hidden from the user. It is not a file that you can
locate. You can, however, locate the journal inode:
$ dumpe2fs /dev/hda1 | grep Journal
dumpe2fs 1.37 (21-Mar-2005)
Journal inode:8

How does one locate the ext3 journal?
In particular I want to be able to for example, remount the partition as
ext2, secure-delete the journal, fsck if required, and remount as ext3.
Is this feasible?
And if so, where exactly is the journal?
Thanks

...all of them? You can specify alternative superblocks with the -b
option; there are usually several.

Have you tried mounting them as ext2? It's an outside shot if it
wasn't cleanly unmounted last time but worth a try.

Should I just use tune2fs -j /dev/hdd1 to create a new journal? Will
this loose any files other than one or two that may not have been
completed by the journal??
Thanks for any help on this.

I have an ext3 filesystem on /dev/sdb1. I want to reconfigure it to
use a journal on /dev/sda1, as the SCSI drives in question are old
ones which are slow to seek, and I think it should improve performance.
So, I create an external journal on /dev/sda1 using
mke2fs -O has_journal /dev/sda1 -J siz
Hi all,
Some advice is listed here on how to find out how fragmented an ext3
journal is (a small concern for those who have upgraded a heavily
fragmented ext2 partition to ext3):
