Actually, with reasonably modern versions of e2fsprogs, tune2fs will remove the journal for you. For this reason, the correct sequence of events is to remount the filesystem readonly, run "tune2fs -O ^has_journal", and then either (a) unmount the filesystem entirely and then remount bit as ext2, or (b) in the case of a root filesystem which you can't unmount entirely, reboot. - Ted _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
