For now. Grub supports ext2. It may or may not work properly |
| 14 |
with journaled file systems, depending upon phase of the moon, |
| 15 |
current tide level, etc. |
| 16 |
|

Grub 2.0 is supposed to have much more solid support. But it's not |
| 18 |
ready yet. |

So why actively try to break it, when it's known that it's not solid |
| 21 |
with journaled file systems and isn't going to be fixed? Ext4 is |
| 22 |
new, grub only needs a small partition - 128 MB or less. And it's |
| 23 |
only for booting the system. Why is there a need for all the overhead |
| 24 |
of a journaled file system for grub? |
