Good point, that is probably important. ext3.
From: http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/filesystems/ext3.txt ro Mount filesystem read only. Note that ext3 will replay the journal (and thus write to the partition) even when mounted "read only". Mount options "ro,noload" can be used to prevent writes to the filesystem. There is really no need for a journal on /boot. Why not use ext2? Karl
