Exactly, and with help of that journal, filesystem errors (that in fact 
occur with ext3 as well) can be more safe recovered.

I just happen to exprience a FS check. Some stuff was bound to 
lost&found during that,
now my MiNT moans about some folders in /etv/var and similar not found.

I will have to reinstall. Ext3 most probably would have saved me from that.

So, if someone thinks, ext3 could be possible to port for our MiNT 
system, i vote for it.
