Okay, I am going to politely ask for an end to this sort of response
in this  mailing list.  Especially in this thread we are brain-storming
on ideas of a desktop fedora spin.  Responses of RTFM or google
it or whatever are not productive to the purpose of this list.

I have heard of tune2fs, and probably every other obscure command
sitting on our distribution's filesystem.  We are brain storming ideas
of what we do and don't want in an experimental spin of Fedora.  This
might sound harsh, however I want to put an end to it now.  This is not
Slashdot.  If you have a reason that ever 26 reboots on a 300gig
file-system a desktop user needs to wait 10 -15 minutes to wait
while their journaled filesystem is forced checked then speak up.
Otherwise head over to slashdot or digg of wherever and voice your
concerns.

I am finished now.

Jon
