EXT3 developers: I am curious, if EXT3 is currently being used on the root partition in "data=ordered" mode (the default as I understand), and I want to have the it come up in data=journal mode, how do you effectuate this conversion? I would also be curious how to know if anything special is required for doing so for the /boot partition as well. I believe that with the /home partition, all it required was unmounting and remounting with the new option in /etc/fstab. Do I have to boot up in rescue mode with a CD and do something to make the root partition have a different journal? While this is not really an EXT3 question, I am sure people here might have knowledge to answer it anyway. Currently both Mandrake and SuSE have an encrypted filesystem implementation using loop backed devices (which I think even allow the /boot and root partitions to be encrypted as well using inird images). I am curious if there is intent on the part of RedHat to support an encryption mechanism? I ask this as I am talking to someone from the Navy Reserves about how and if we can use RedHat for a project we are talking about. He leans toward using SuSE since it has encryption, where I prefer RedHat for other reasons. Will we ever see such support in RedHat?
