If you are using a "generic" install of Fedora Core - that is, if you didn't actually do something to
change to a non-ext3 file system, you're already using journaling on an ext3 file system.


Journaling options are set in the /etc/fstab file, in the file system options column. If you really need to set a non-default mode of journaling (like for some reason you want to use the data=journal option rather than the default data=ordered) you'd need to change the entry for that file system to be something like this:


/dev/sdd1 /var/lib/imap/user ext3 data=journal 1 3

That is, you'd probably end up replacing the defaults entry with data=journal

But make sure you understand the implications of changing the journaling option.
