Greetings, all.
I just finished a fresh install on bare metal. I apparently missed the options on one of the slices, and now I find it is journaled.
This really sucks. Because as I understand it - having just now finished building, and installing world, and kernel - I can't use dump(8) to preserve a finely tuned, virgin install. What kind of bone-headed person would make journaling the default? Sure, I should have been more careful. Which makes my move bone-headed. But why should a user be put in a situation that barely leaves them any recourse if something goes wrong? That's just wrong. Is there any salvation? Am I really stuck starting this whole process over again?
Thank you for all your time, and consideration.
