A case can be made that GRUB should be keeping its grubby little paws off
the filesystem journal. It's a *bootloader*. It's only purpose in life is
to load other code that can make intelligent decisions about things like
how (or even whether) to replay a filesystem journal.
But, unlike Lilo, Grub usually has to load that other code from a
filesystem, which means it's already doing more than what bootloaders
traditionally do.
If it was up to me, we'd all be using LinuxBIOS and kexec, and it
wouldn't be an issue.
