You added the option but probably didn't recreate the journal file itself.
Try "tune2fs -J /dev/hda2".
It's a small "j", but anyway it's ok now. But this leads to the
following: Why did laptop-mode-tools try to remount my / with commit?
Does it rely on /etc/fstab for the FS type? If this is the case, could
it be improved to use /proc/mounts instead, so that it checks the "real"
FS type and not the "declared" one?
Hmmm, when I developed this /proc/mounts didn't show the "real" type. Of the
lines in your /proc/mounts:
rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0
/dev/root / ext2 rw,nogrpid 0 0
I got only the first one at the time. Perhaps it's time to fix that now.
However, usually a mismatch between /etc/fstab (or /etc/mtab) and /proc/mounts
is something that people would actually want to *fix*. You were unknowingly
running your root fs without journalling, and this seems to be the general
case: I've only really heard about the BIG FAT WARNING from people who were
*really surprised* that their root fs was mounted as ext2 instead of ext3. For
that reason I'm not really in a hurry to remove the warning. :)
Hmm,in that case leaving the Warning is probably best, but you could
remove the mount -o remount,commit in the case where an ext3 is mounted
as ext2. Also I think the warning could mention something like
"only /proc/mounts shows the real fstype, mount and /etc/mtab lie in the
case of "/""
I'll do the latter, and add something like "configure the filesystem
with its actual type in /etc/fstab to remove this warning". Thanks.
