ext3 journaling taking up HDD Space ?

[Matthew Benjamin]

It appears that you can do the following to changeback to ext2...

disable it by changing your /etc/fstab entries back to ext2, and doing a
clean shutdown.  when you reboot, you're back to ext2. 

The only question now is how do I clean out those journal entries, and
where are they stored?

Maybe formatting with a smaller block size. It happened me twice, until
I switched to XFS.
