But it should be okay to set the filesystem to journal only its own metadata. There's no need for it to journal file contents.
Can you set ext2 to journal metadata? I didn't know it could do that.
No, ext2 has no journal at all AFAIK. But I believe ext3 has an option to journal or not journal file contents, and at least on a Postgres-only volume you'd want to turn that off.
No, it certainly doesn't.
You can mount ext3 filesystems as ext2 and they will function just as ext2.
