That's what I thought at first, then I realized this was just a Disk Utility UI/usablity problem.

When you open Disk Utility, there is a button to ENABLE Journaling, but nothing to DISable it... Until you choose Customize Toolbar to add the missing button.

Wait a minute!!!

I specifiaclly turned Journaling OFF when I installed... I did this by going to Disk Utility from the installer and then back to the Installer.

Now I see it is ON.

How did it get ON?!?!?

Did the installer re-reformat my drive?

Question

I thought that having a Journaling FS was good thing. I mean what if you had a kernel panic and you lost your super block? If I were doing the install and had to disable Journaling I would re-enable it upons a successful install and boot.
Just 2 Cents, I could be way off!!!

Do you have to erase the partition to enable/disable journaling?
I suppose it was enabled when you installed 10.3, even though you disabled it first. There is no option to not enable journaling when you install 10.3, is there?

Somehow, I don't think the filesystem would even mount without the super block. So much for reading that journal. ;-)
