I forgot about debugfs. Does removing the needs_recovery and then the has_journal flags then leave a fs essentially identical to a dump(8)/mke2fs(8)/restore(8) sequence? (In this particular case, there would not have been any changes to the fs, other than access_time updates, in the journal.) -JimC
