Convert ext2 to ext3
From ArchWiki
- If you have installed Arch to an ext2 filesystem, it is a good idea to enable the journal and turn it into an ext3 filesystem. Journaling provides a range of benefits.
All you need is the command:
tune2fs -j DRIVE
Where DRIVE is /dev/discs/disc0/part1 or /dev/hda1 for example.
Note that once you have done that you then need to edit
/etc/fstab
accordingly and change
ext2
to
ext3
for the partition's filesystem.
Then (for a standard kernel) run the following command to rebuild your initrd image.
mkinitcpio -p kernel26
