Just boot in single user mode so all the filesystems are unmounted or mounted readonly. Then use 'tunefs -j disable /dev/...'. It will also mention the name of the journal file, which can be deleted. >> Use the latest net/rsync port, and enable the FLAGS option.

Probably only included in the man page when the port is built with the FLAGS option set. An additional note: the script that runs my rsync backup also modifies the mirrored /etc/fstab to use the appropriate labels for the backup filesystems.
