I know that I am faint-hearted (at least where my data is
concerned), but it would be nice if man tune2fs were just a tiny
bit more explicit about that.
-O [^]feature[,...]
Set or clear the indicated filesystem features
(options) in the filesystem. More than one
filesystem feature can be cleared or set by sepa-
rating features with commas .... <-- so far so good
.....has_journal
Create an ext3 journal (as if using the
-j option). <---- implies to the
faint-hearted that it will create but not remove the journal.
Cheers,
Geoff
