Is that something you need in /boot? And journaling actually is more a problem than a solution due to firmware (or grub) filesystem drivers often not having full support for the journal. Luckily this is rarely a problem in practice because /boot is rarely written to. > Everyone can do whatever they want with the files, Hmm? From the booted system: No, depends on the configuration and usually it's mounted to be only writable by root. When you plug the disk elsewhere: Yes, but all other filesystems have the same problem then. With physical access to the disk only encryption can prevent that. take care, Gerd _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
