But that's > a job for tomorrow, I have to go drink some beer now :-> sorry, for breaking (?) this thread, but: is it really so very necessary to have /boot as ext3? i too have my /boot mounted read-only, and the only write calls are from lilo and the like. my /boot is 10mb in size, it would be bigger if it had a journal. another point is, that many "rescue disks" can still only mount ext2, and too often i tried hard to get my kernel back from /boot (which was formatted with reiserfs/ext3 in former times) to finally mount the rest (/, /usr as ext3). just my 2p, Christian. -- evilninja@gmx.net
