I would strongly recommend you enable joirnaling because not all filesystem changes are written to the physical HD medium until shutdown but are tentatively recorded in the journal which helps prevent data loss in the event of unexpected shutdowns. If there's no journaling and a unexpected shutdown occurs there's a better chance of data loss than were journaling enabled.
