All tune2fs -j does on a mounted filesystem is to create a normal file (which is used for the journal), mark it immutable, and the modify the superblock to set the has_journal flag and set the journal inode number. None of this should cause a kernel hang. What version of e2fsprogs/tune2fs were you using? - Ted _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
