From 71b9625744b7d4a6a2416389a5ba464bdf11f07f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johann Lombardi Date: Sun, 8 Jan 2006 01:03:20 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] ext3: external journal device as a mount option The patch below adds a new mount option to allow the external journal device to be specified. The syntax is as follows: # mount -t ext3 -o journal_dev=0x0820 ... where 0x0820 means major=8 and minor=32.
