  • 6d4180761   ext3: Update Kconfig description of EXT3_DEFAULTS_TO_ORDERED ... Browse Code »

    The old description for this configuration option was perhaps not
    completely balanced in terms of describing the tradeoffs of using a
    default of data=writeback vs. data=ordered. Despite the fact that old
    description very strongly recomended disabling this feature, all of
    the major distributions have elected to preserve the existing 'legacy'
    default, which is a strong hint that it perhaps wasn't telling the
    whole story.

    This revised description has been vetted by a number of ext3
    developers as being better at informing the user about the tradeoffs
    of enabling or disabling this configuration feature.

  • bbae8bcc4   ext3: make default data ordering mode configurable ... Browse Code »

    This makes the defautl ext3 data ordering mode (when no explicit
    ordering is set) configurable, so as to allow people to default to
    'data=writeback' and get the resulting latency improvements.

    This is a non-issue if a filesystem has been explicitly set to some
    ordering (with 'tune2fs').
