Disable HFS+ journaling from within Mac OS 9
Authored by: johnsawyercjs on Jan 22, '05 02:03:08AM

When an OS X volume is mounted under OS 9, its invisible files are all visible, so wouldn't the step described above be unnecessary, about mounting the volume under OS X while the volume was mounted under OS 9 on another Mac? If the OS X-invisible journaling files were visible under OS 9, you could just drag them to the OS 9 trash.

Also, I looked for files containing the word "journal" on three different journaled volumes, but none of the files that contained the word "journal", on any of these volumes, had anything to do with journaling, even when I had Find look for invisible files, with my SkipFolders file emptied out so it searches all folders. Where are these journal files?

Disable HFS+ journaling from within Mac OS 9

Well, I pursued my own questions above, and found that the .journal files don't show up in either OS X's or OS 9's Finder even if you use a utility to show invisible files, and the Find utilities in both 9 and X won't find these files either, so apparently Terminal is the only way to trash them, so this is why the user posting the hint mounted the volume under OS 9, and then in turn mounted that volume under OS X on a networked Mac, since this was the only way to get Terminal to look at the volume and delete the journaling files.
