Yeah, but debugfs opens the filesystem read-only w/o '-w'.

Well, 32MB is small for a write-heavy filesystem.  But if you're not
seeing any problems with kjournald stalling while it flushes, then it
might not be worth the trouble of re-creating the journal as a larger
size.  It's unlikely to hurt anything, but I wouldn't make it huge
priority.  Did you also read the LOPSA post from Ted Ts'o that I linked
to in the section above the instructions?
