Subject: Re: No-journal option for ext4

Thanks for the great suggestions - they all make perfect sense. I did
see the "journal present" flag, BTW, but figured that it might be
safer not to change existing behavior - e.g. when someone accidentally
says ext4 instead of ext2 when mounting an ext2 volume, right now they
get an error. If folks are OK with this changing to a successful
mount, I'm happy - less code/work is good ;-).

I'll rework my patch and send out an update when it's ready.

Thanks again!
