Right, I know what journaling is used for. But this makes it possible to boot from a corrupted filesystem that can not be used without journaling support. About how hard it is, we will see about it when we will work on it. It is not an important feature; at least not to me. But it is something we have to keep in mind because, unlike lilo, GRUB does depend on the consistency of the metadata. -- Marco _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
