What is the positive side of change of the inode size? The negative side I've seen already ;) The release notes only complain compatibility issues about few ext3 tools for example win's extfs, doesn't say that you have to install new grub to the MBR.
From /usr/share/doc/packages/e2fsprogs/RELEASE-NOTES: |E2fsprogs 1.40.5 (January 27, 2008) |=================================== | |Mke2fs will now create new filesystems with 256 byte inodes and the |ext_attr feature flag by default. This allows for much better future |compatibity with ext4 and speeds up extended attributes even on ext3 |filesystems. And you do not have to install MBR, but your existant MBR bootloader needs to use chainloader - this is a bit outside of what our tools can take care of.
