[wellylug] Sarge approaching release

Yeah, that's no big problem, but I'd add the '-J size=xx' in there
just for good measure.  It really sucks when you create a 20mb /boot
partition and tune2fs (or even mkfs.ext2) decides to create a 32mb
journal.... Yes, been there, done that.  *sigh*

I do.  It's nice to have a journaled fs that will fall back if
something goes awry.  But that's just me.  I've never really been much
excitement for me with either XFS or Reiser, with the exception of the
one time I ran reiser and the fs for my /usr partition decided to eat
itself.  That was horrible.  The long and short of that episode is
that I was unable to back up my disk's /home partition and lost
everything.  Three years worth of POP'ed email gone.  I still blame
reiser. heh.
