NV+ V2 stalling when 80%+ full (20047616)

dropping the journal is something you should only do if you understand the risks involved. most notably if you loose power while writing data to the drive you can risk loosing more than just the file you are writing to at that time. at least with a journal typically you only loose data that hasn't been safely commited to the journal/file system as it creates effectivly a audit trail of what data got changed so the system can replay after power outage to get back to a healthy system.

simplest way woudl be to use ex2 instead of ex3 or you could tell mkfs to not create a journal, but it's probably better to just keep the journal unless your prepaird to nurse a faulty file system back to health yourself as none of what's suggested in this thread is supported by NETGEAR afaik.
