Most docs on disabling/creating the ext4 journal for root involve a reboot. If we:
- turn off the journal via tune2fs
- fsck the filesystem
- turn the journal back on via tune2fs
- fsck the filesystem
- then reboot
Will that effectively re-create the journal? In this specific case we have a corrupted journal we wish to re-initialize. If we can eliminate the intervening reboot then we can better automate this process.
I don't actually see why a reboot is required at any point?
Thanks.
