I've just installed a new 2TB internal drive in my Mac Pro (Snow Leopard) - it'll be used for storing a growing archive of audio and video files.
As part of the installation, I partitioned it into two 1GB volumes. At the time I thought I'd made sure that neither volume was journalled - but apparently not. As it turns out, one is journalled and the other isn't. Unfortunately, I only found this out AFTER I'd transferred 350GB of video files to the journalled volume.
So, can anyone tell me... Is there any way I can disable/switch off journalling on that volume while it has files living on it, or do I have to copy all those videos off to somewhere else, re-format the volume as non-journalled and copy them back again?
Cheers,
Ken

I've just found this interesting link, which appears to provide a solution. Tried it. It works. There - that was a short thread, eh!
