root w/o .journal

2002-03-12 Thread Richard Weil
How do make an ext3 root partition without a .journal file? For a normal partition you umount the filesystem before using tunefs -j and then there is no .journal. But how do you umount root? Do you need to do a mke2fs -j during installation? Thanks.
