Subject: Re: 2.6.29 -mm merge plans

I have a drive at home with the condition. So empirically, it can happen.

I would also argue that having a journal bit set and then saying that
the journal info block is at 0 makes no sense anyhow since the first
1024 bytes of the volume must be empty on HFS+.

And, I found the previous code from Apple saying that a 0 in the
journal_info_block field indicated that there was no journal.

Is there anything else I should be doing?
