[wplug] Dual boot w/OS X

[John Lewis]

Vance, modern Linux distributions can have their boot directory in
logical volume management and can have their boot directory on file
systems of ext4, xfs, or btrfs, etc.

You could just turn journaling off on ext4. Btrfs uses copy-on-write
instead of journaling.
