Right. Mounting an ext3 FS as ext2 will NOT remove the journal. But leaving the journal there is harmless, and allows you to remount it as ext3 again later. If you really want to downgrade from ext3 to ext2 and removal the journal, then unmount the partition, and run: tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/whatever -- Anand Buddhdev http://anand.org -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
