He really needs to read this: How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html front to back, three to four times, and let what it details sink in, before asking more questions.

I will check your link and look into it. Maybe I said too much. The
.journal thing was never created by me and I don't know anyone ever does.
The OS creates it if the filesystem is mounted. And that's ro or rw either
way. Then I discovered you CAN indeed use a netinstall disk to umount your
root partition. It doesn't have to be live or fuill cd. Maybe I spoke too
soon. I don't know but I was looking to see if anyone had an alternative
they knew about in converting the ext2 to ext3 without being unmounted with
a livecd. Huh I discovered that way on my own. Netinstall cd work too.

Well I didn't use tune2fs -j I used mke2fs -j. For what really makes any
difference. And up thread it's been said that problem has been solved.
