Cheap is a relative term. It's only "cheap" if it's cheap enough for a particular context to enjoy. Even if a HD was only a dollar a TB, it wouldn't be cheap to someone with 0 dollars.
Well, you can't buy any storage with zero dollars. A journal is a couple of megabytes, and the cost difference between, say, 64GB and 64GB-32MB rounds to zero.
Cheap space does not obviate the value of conservatism generally. The more space consumed, the more space, and _time_, consumed with backup and restore operations, even if nominal.
You don't generally backup a filesystem journal, and if you're doing a full image copy, see above.
Conservatism, in this case, is not doing something weird with /boot. Mike Stone
