How often are you writing to /boot anyways? Journalling is of little benefit in that case, and imposes more wear+tear on SSD drives. Or is it possible to turn off journaling for one partition under ext4? -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
