I don't if this is the right list to send this to but, during installation of openSUSE 12.1, Yast offers a default/recommended partitioning scheme. The given /boot partition is set to be formatted as ext4. Journaling is not needed though - shouldn't the partition be formatted to ext2 instead for efficiency? I guess my line of thought is based off of KISS.
Arvin, who should have a better informed opinion, is on vacation thes week. Anyway, journaling is not needed at all, as long as your system never crashes. And as long as you don't need to reboot, you don't need to care about /boot consistency. Thus ext4, IMHO. -- Martin Vidner, YaST developer http://en.opensuse.org/User:Mvidner Kuracke oddeleni v restauraci je jako fekalni oddeleni v bazenu
