Quoting Bean <address@hidden>:

I think we should consider having a journaling layer above
grub_disk_read() that would do the substitution and avoid such bugs in
the future.

This should be all right, but we need to move the journal support from
fshelp.c to disk.c, anyone objects ?

No objection from me. But if it's complicated, we can start with an ext2 specific function that would translate offset and size to block numbers, apply journal mappings and read the data.
