Well shucks. The docs never mentioned that one but it sounds logical.

Hmm... if the 'real' journal is just being created, I can see that
taking a long time indeed. so now I wonder, since I went to rescue
mode, fsck'd the partition, then proceeded to reboot and things came
up fine, do I have a proper journal now? I'm assuming the kjournald
processes would realize there's a missing journal, and begin building
it in the background while the system is in operation.
