Trouble enabling journaling on volume

Hi

I'm trying to enable journaling on a volume, but get the following error :


An error occurred journaling the file system: The underlying task reported failure on exit (-69860)


What to do next ?


Best regards

What I meant was is it the start up drive? If it is, that could be the problem. You may need to boot into another volume such as a clone, and use its Disk Utility to reset the journaling whilst it is not being the booted volume. But in case anything were to go wrong I would backup the volume first, in order to recover if some accident occurs.


You may also like to wait for a reply from someone more knowlegdable who can give you more definte guidance.
