Hello. I've been using LVM for almost a year now, and im extremely satisfied. I use it on a Redhat 7.2 fileserver with the 2.4.18 kernel. I've combined 6 ide drives into a logical volume /dev/storage/space with an EXT2 filesystem on it, totalling around 650gb of storage. What I am wondering is, would it be wise to convert this filesystem to EXT3? Or are there risks involved when doing this? As far as i can understand a simple: tune2fs -j /dev/storage/space would create a new journal file, and convert the filesystem to ext3. and a: tune2fs -i 0 /dev/storage/space would disable the fsck's that occur now and then (and takes an insane amount of time on a 650gb filesystem), and are no longer necessary since the filesystem is EXT3. and then everything would be ok? or is there more that need to be done? Is this a complicated process that i might just as well avoid in order not to damage my data? Or is this pretty straightforward?
