The journal is stored in a separate space of the partition, you cannot access it directly. You can use
sudo debugfs /dev/sda#
where the#
symbol is the number of your partition, and then usinglogdump
indebugfs
to print it out. The output is confusing though.Generally, as a regular user, you don't need to know about the journal. Using
ext3/4
will be sufficient to prevent data loss (in most cases).This link might help: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/red-hat-fedora-linux/121074-ext3-journal.html
