  62. The journalling code included in this driver means you do not have
  63. to run e2fsck (file system checker) on your file systems after a

  65. at the time the system crashed, and can ensure that your file system
  66. is consistent without the need for a lengthy check.
  67. Other than adding the journal to the file system, the on-disk format
  68. of ext3 is identical to ext2. It is possible to freely switch
  69. between using the ext3 driver and the ext2 driver, as long as the
  70. file system has been cleanly unmounted, or e2fsck is run on the file
  71. system.
  72. To add a journal on an existing ext2 file system or change the
  73. behavior of ext3 file systems, you can use the tune2fs utility ("man
  74. tune2fs"). To modify attributes of files and directories on ext3
  75. file systems, use chattr ("man chattr"). You need to be using
