The size of a filesystem module is now about 4KB.

The data should not be written to the filesystem. Instead the journal should be played back for the data that is read. I am not yet sure if it is possible, easy and fast enough. But I do think it is worthwhile to consider journaling support. -- Marco _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
