turn on Journaling for HFS+ volumes in Mac OS X

(1/3) > >>

When you update to 10.2.2, you can have the super safe journaling feature of 10.2 server.

There's two ways. one way sucks, the other is cool. This is the cool way, because it makes your OS think that it's OS X server.

Open terminal and cd to /system/library/coreservices

then sudo cp systemversion.plist serverversion.plist

give it your password, and then go to the Apple menu and select "About this Mac" and you'll see a change. next, open Disk Utility and select your HD partition and you'll see a button that says "Enable Journaling" or something like that.

it's cool! do it because it is!

That's awesome!

I'll try it when the update finishes "optimizing". It's been at it for like 10 mins. Is it supposed to take this long?

Cool option!   :D  

Anyway, Muffin Man it took me about 10 minutes as well to optimize the system.

FUCKING AWESOME!

I have a server on my archaic PowerBook and yooouuu dooonnn't!

Sorry      

BTW: Love the "Sys admin lecture" warning.

I just found out an easier way to enable journaling (maybe that's the not so cool option Jimmy James was talking about).

As root type: "sudo diskutil enableJournal /" and you're done.
