Re: quick ext3 journal question

Looks fine, except, the 6th column is a fsck option. fsck looks at the number in the 6th column to determine in which order the filesystems should be checked. (If it's zero, fsck won't check the filesystem). You should probably change them to 1,2,3, etc. rather that 1,1,1.
