remove journaling on hfs removes my data?

[fernan]

Hi guys, i need your help.

i have mbp13" from late 2011, and an external HDD that HFS+(journal) on which i store movies and lots of other data stored.

my question is ;

if I remove the journaling on the external (OS Mavericks) , will that remove all my data on the external??

i want to do this so that i can play my movies through Raspbmc (Raspberry Pi) ... anyone ?

Just run this command in Terminal with the real external volume name and it will disable Journaling without deleting data. Backup first just to be safe though.

diskutil disableJournal /Volumes/VolumeName
