I have a partition that is formatted as ext3 however, due to apparent performance issues (not sure if they are related to journaling - data=ordered, BTW) I have mounted this file system as ext2. The file system was clean when it was shutdown, and has been cleanly mounted as ext2, and I currently have no problems with the partition. My question is, is there any harm in mounting this partition as ext2? Are there any caveats that I should be aware of by mounting in this fashion? Thanks in advance for your help. Regards, Andy.
