I always use and recommend ext2 for /boot. It avoids wasting space in the ext3/ext4 journal that isn't needed on such a small and seldom modified partition. Also fsck speed for a small 512M ext2 is very fast without needing a journal to speed it up. For /boot ext2 is a good choice. It is fully supported everywhere for rescue boot media. Of course now that we have large disks and can easily allocate 512M to /boot without significantly reducing the remainder of the disk this hardly matters. Basically we are overflowing with disk space and therefore need not be as efficient with it these days. Wasting some space with ext3/ext4 has become a very small matter. Bob
