open up a text editor and add it to the end of the deb security repo definition.
and thanks. I'm adding these to the build system. can't believe we missed that one!

no, journalling is a feature of ext4. user's are free to turn it off of course, but we will leave it as designed by default. thanks for the suggestion.Wallon wrote: ↑Sat Jul 29, 2023 9:54 am Dear @fehlix,
Suggestion for developers: simply put these 2 command lines at the end of the installation in MX Installer to remove the journaling from an ext4 partition;
Kind regards,Code: Select all

Good. GRUB boot loader does provide read access through it's f2fs.mod(ule) but can't write at this early boot stage onto special made 1K sized /boot/grub/grubenv.
Where did you got the knowledge from that MX Boot Repair won't work on f2fs-installed system?
Installing onto a non-journaling file system increases the likelihood the file system would not be recoverable anymore after a something like power loss or hard-reboot.Wallon wrote: ↑Sat Jul 29, 2023 9:35 am For your information, I've done a lot of speed tests on this very good Samsung 400MB/s USB 3.1 stick with Gnome-disk.
With Windows exfat average for reading 400 MB/s
With linux f2fs formatting average for reading 390 MB/s
With linux ext4 formatting average for reading 280 MB/s
When writing, I also found the same differences between the 3 formats. But ext4 formatting is bad because there are peaks at zero due to journaling.
There's an option missing in the MX Installer; it should be possible to remove journaling from an ext4 partition during installation.
Wouldn't it be possible at the end of the installation to deactivate journaling and remove the journal from the ext4 partition?
