Can grub replay the journal? :-?
It doesn't replay it in the sense you're thinking. It scans it and creates a block mapping, so it gets the effect of replaying the journal but in a read-only manner. So, say block 100000 would be overwritten at journal replay, we'd redirect the read of that block to the newest copy of it in the journal.
Ah! Now I understand. Thank you for that explanation.
We *have* to do this. That's the entire point of a journaling file system - otherwise, grub could end up trying to read incomplete metadata.
Yes, of course :-)
The real issue is in the kernel, IMO. s2disk should be flushing the journal. We have ways of doing that so (without having looked at the suspend code), it should be possible to do.
Time permitting, I guess ;-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
