I'm running Linux Mint on an SSD. I've read how one optimization is to disable journaling. However, when I run the command:
sudo mke2fs -t ext4 -O ^has_journal /dev/sda1
I get an error saying that the drive is busy. Well, of course it's busy, that's where the whole OS is.
How can I disable this?
1As in all *nix systems, you have to go into single maintenance user mode, unmount the volume and then do your changes from there. Otherwise the other option is to carry the drive over to another system, install it as a secondary drive, leave it umounted and carry on the operation from there. – Fiasco Labs – 2012-12-08T22:30:19.557
Well, I'm pretty much an idiot, so not sure how to enter single maintenance user mode. It looks like I can do that through the grub boot menu, but I don't know how to get that menu to show up. – Andi Jay – 2012-12-09T00:02:49.823
