The hard disk in my server/gateway started developing bad sectors and making very strange noises the other day.. anyway i got a new drive and copied over the partiton containing linux (ext3) onto the new drive using norton ghost which resized it from 500 odd Megabytes in size to 20 Gigabytes, the new drive works great but i have a few concerns since ghost knows nothing of ext3.. since the size of the partition has changed, will i need to recreate the ext3 journal? If so how do i do it? if yes to the above question then will mounting the partition as ext3 with an incorrect journal do any damage? i had to do this once to change fstab.
