It adds an ext3 journal to the filesystem. From the tune2fs manpage on
my system:
-j Add an ext3 journal to the filesystem. If the -J option is
not specified, the default journal parameters will be used
to create an appropriately sized journal (given the size of
the filesystem) stored within the filesystem. Note that you
must be using a kernel which has ext3 support in order to
actually make use of the journal.
My question: why not simply provide a tool for adding a journal for all
suitable partitions, perhaps interactively? From what I gather, ext3 is
stable enough now to recommend to `everyone'....
