Hi all,

One of my friend asked me these following questions which i cant not answer any of them.. I think here some people can answer to these

1) when we tune from ext2 to ext3 we see a hidden file .journal but not the partitions we format with. why?
2)I read that when the file system gets mounted journal is mainted in kernel.is that rite?
3)when we do dumpe2fs of any partitions we see journal size = some size in Kilo bytes ,and the journal has a inode number assigned,so now this is file .Where is this file and how the journal size is calculated?

here is one document i refereed but no use for me
http://www.redhat.com/support/wpaper.../ext3/ext3.pdf

Or atleast refer some forums where i can get answers for this.
