EXT4 partitions with no journals

I have recently been attempting to repair corruption on my 3 ext4 partitions.
One of the things I have noticed is that these were created without a journal.
Is this how TOS creates ext4 partitions?
I was genuinely surprised to find none of the partitions had journals.

What is your system version? Can you describe the problem more clearly? It is better to attach a screenshot of the log.

Apologies I will rephrase my question:
My current system version is 5.1 however, I have had my F4-422 since the 4.x days.
My device has 3 X ext4 partitions.
I have noticed none of them have journaling enabled:
Code: Select all
[matt@TNAS ~]# dumpe2fs /dev/mapper/vg0-lv0 | grep features
dumpe2fs 1.46.5 (30-Dec-2021)
Filesystem features: ext_attr resize_inode dir_index filetype extent 64bit flex_bg ea_inode sparse_super large_file huge_file uninit_bg dir_nlink extra_isize
[matt@TNAS ~]# dumpe2fs /dev/mapper/vg0-lv1 | grep features
dumpe2fs 1.46.5 (30-Dec-2021)
Filesystem features: ext_attr resize_inode dir_index filetype extent 64bit flex_bg ea_inode sparse_super large_file huge_file uninit_bg dir_nlink extra_isize

Is journaling meant to be turned off by default for a reason?

Hi @TMroy,
Thank you for confirming.
Will this modify existing partitions or, will it only apply to new partitions.
I'm quite keen to get it enabled. I just wish to do it in a supported way.
Kind Regards,
Matt.

Just update to 5.1.29, journal can be enabled for the existing file systems.
