Greetings, I recently cpio-ed some user directories onto a new ext3 partion. After putting this file server's partition into production, I noticed a .journal file in the root directory of the partition dated well before the creation of this partition. I think this .journal file was copied over from the old filesystem and I am concerned that I over-wrote this current filesystem's .journal file and this file system will explode the next time I reboot. I have also seen some non-definitive reference to ext3's journal being hidden. My questions: Does ext3 use a .journal file or is it hidden? If it DOES use a .journal file, can I rebuild it on the fly? i.e., while the file system is in production? I'm on the 2.6.10 kernel. Thanks, -jeffrey _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
