I want to do some disk rearranging and it would be really convenient if my partition were ext2 instead of ext3.No. You should run e2fsck after converting though. According to the tune2fs man page:
I thought all I had to do was use tune2fs to convert the partitions to ext2 and then modify fstab to indicate the partitions were ext2. Well, that ended in a kernel panic with an error that the journal couldn't be found.
What's the right way? Do I have to recompile the kernel? I'm using redhat 8.
After setting or clearing sparse_super and filetype filesystem features, e2fsck(8) must be run on the filesystem to return the filesystem to a consistent state. Tune2fs will print a message
requesting that the system administrator run e2fsck(8) if necessary.
You should run it with the -f option to force the tune2fs operation to complete even in the face of errors. This option is useful when removing the has_journal filesystem feature from a filesystem which has an external journal (or is corrupted such that it appears to have an external journal), but that external journal is not available.
