[Discuss] turning off journaling on EXT3

[Michael Foltinek]

I can't see why it would be a problem. The journal data is written
elsewhere, so it's not like there will be holes in your data. You can
mount ext3 as ext2 (like if you boot off a liveCD) and the only
difference AFAIK is the lack of journaling; the data side is the same.
