Nothing to be changed - the journal formats are the same, unless you have
the _very_ old v1 journal format, in which case you will either need to
mount with "-o journal=update" one time, or live with data=journal
mode
(which will be automatically selected, as it is the only supported method
with v1 journal formats).
I'm not sure whether "dumpe2fs -h" will tell you the journal
version or not.
However, if you mount the filesystem without any data= option, and it says
"using journal data mode" then it is a v1 journal.
Cheers, Andreas
