Hi, I'm looking for some experience regarding using ext3 journaled, ordered or writeback modes through NFS. I wonder what is the best ext3 mode to use with NFS: journaled, ordered or writeback ? And what is provided for atomicity and ordering of write requested through a NFS client with these 3 modes ? As there is some NFS caching and segmentation policies, that are done independently of ext3 modes i'm not sure of the result when merging NFS and ext3 policies. This was confirmed by mail reply from Stephen C. Tweedie saying that "NFS never makes _any_ atomicity or ordering guarantees". I just want to know if, in practical, you have encoutered any problem of data consistency after a failure using ext3 (or another File System with atomic data writting propriety) through NFS and in what precise cases. I'll enjoy to have your feedback. Eric Chacron, Alcatel Software Control Platform
