This could be a problem in the future... This sounds like the change which got commited into the e2fsprogs 1.26 tree. (Which has been released already, and 1.27 should be out soon...) So, I don't think it should cause a problem into the future, althogh it would be better if the RH installer didn't do that, since e2fsck does stop and ask a question to OK clearing the relevant journal superblock fields. - Ted
