Which are the steps to apply a Ext3 file system? What am I suppose to do?

Is there any more docs on this other then the blurb on beta.redhat.com? I got a spare non-critical victim err... test machine I want to try this on and have all the RPMS, but would really like to chew on a little more detail before I leap.

Please forbid user level process to touch or unling the journal file when the partition is ext3 mounted ... at all ! So far this weakness has been my main problem when using ext3 on production systems. Happened to rpmfind machines a couple of times, at best a program removed the journal inode from the FS list and it cannot be mounted at next reboot. At worse the content of the journal.dat is

Hi, I''m a long ext3 user (rpmfind.net). I propagated ext3 on some of our server box (W3C webservers are ext3 based too now). I might be tempted of testing out your kernel RPMs but unavailability or the source RPM and the SMP version are definite showstoppers. Please provide them. In the meantime I will stick to my own set of kernel ext3 RPMs at ftp://rpmfind.net/pub/veillard/ext3/
