I think this needs some more thinking, as while i was playing around 
with beagle (on friday) i made an error of adding that option to the xfs 
filesystem, which happens to be my root filesystem. This caused the 
filesystem to be left read-only on boot.

As usual, this is not a serious problem, but it should be remembered and 
i think should even be cautioned in the beagle page. For those who don't 
happen to know the internals of init or do not have LiveCD handy to fix 
this kinds of problems it might be the end of their linux voyage.

Other than that, YAY for beagle ;)
