For now. Grub supports ext2. It may or may not work properly with journaled file systems, depending upon phase of the moon, current tide level, etc. Grub 2.0 is supposed to have much more solid support. But it's not ready yet. So why actively try to break it, when it's known that it's not solid with journaled file systems and isn't going to be fixed? Ext4 is new, grub only needs a small partition - 128 MB or less. And it's only for booting the system. Why is there a need for all the overhead of a journaled file system for grub? Bob -
