The code to support this is not included in the 2.2 ext3 only in 2.4 ext3.
There was a patch for 2.2 journal devices long ago, but I'm not sure if
it was updated to work with the new "format" of the external journal. It
was posted to ext2-devel by Marcelo Tossatti, probably 6 months ago or more.

Cheers, Andreas
