Bug Description

Hi

When using --notarball mode, the resulting FS is ext2 which is very fragile. Consider switching to ext3 or ext4 as the temporary filesystem to get a journalised fs as output image in no-tarball mode.

Thanks

ext3 was chosen as the smallest common denominator, defaulting to ext3 definately requires that the kernel for teh target system has a journalling filesystem which may or may not be the case, likelyness that the user compiled a kernel with ext2 support is way higher than expecting a journalling FS imho

Well both qemu kernels you provide have ext3 support and this has to be weighted against rendering the fs unclean after any unclean shutdown.
