Having journaling enabled will reduce problems arising from power loss induced dirty ext4 root filesystems, which would otherwise require intervention to return the router to normal booting.
Journaling can be manually enabled on existing ext4 filesystems with tunefs.
Imported from OpenWrt main branch (commit f9f2426e398cf74d1098ae40317bfba677ac7560)
NB: - this change only affects ext4 filesystems in images that get directly written to
storage media (e.g. dd'ed to SD cards or disk); currently only the x86 and
bcm27xx targets build such images.
this patch will need to be removed when Gargoyle transitions to a future
OpenWrt stable branch.
