Disk Utility.
Click on a volume [not a /disk/] on the left, if it is journaled
the summary information at base of window, for 'format', will
include "(Journaled)" if it is.

[I have 2 physical disks, one 20GB as a single volume, one 80GB as
4 volumes. Only the boot volume (one of the 80GB disk's volumes) is
journaled. Since I moved my Users from the boot volume to one of
their own yesterday, I'll enable Journaling while I'm here...]

Journaling can be enabled using the 'Enable Journaling' button at
the top of the Disk Utility window, when you have an unjournaled
volume selected, it takes only a second or so. You cannot turn it
off there - but it seems you can with diskutil at the command line
[man diskutil for details].

Have Fun

D'Oh: the 'Enable Journaling' button is disabled, but the File Menu
includes 'Disable Journaling'

Thanks for all help. But when I launch Disk Utility it crashes. Have
tried repairing HD. All is well. But Utility still crashes. I think
Cocktail could help but it seems to have vanished and Onyx is not much
help either. But will perservere.

In the terminal try this:

sudo update_prebinding -root /

and type your password when prompted. I had a few apps die on launch,
only to find out it was a permissions problem.
