Hopefully, someone can tell me if this is OK. I recently had a problem with my system and had to do a complete restore. Fortunately, I had made a full backup just the day before. My filesystems are Ext3 (why else would I be posting this here?). :) Anyway, when I originally changed my filesystems from Ext2 to Ext3, I did while they were still mounted. As a result, the journal file was visible. Now, after the system restore, I can find no journal files at all. I thought maybe it was now a hidden (.journal) file but no such thing is present. Looking at dmesg, everything seems to have booted up normally. All Ext3 messages are fine... no errors. My question is, how can I know for sure if everything really IS fine? I did a tune2fs -l on one of my filesystems. I don't know if it's any help but here is the output. Any help is appreciated!
