Hello I can see several postings on this mailing-list that people have problem with mounting ext3 partition with mode data=journal. See URL's: https://www.redhat.com/archives/ext3-users/2004-March/msg00000.html https://www.redhat.com/archives/ext3-users/2004-March/msg00050.html We are going to use ext3 on a Compact Flash disk in true IDE mode. We need this filesystem to be as safe and consistent as possible. We can not tolerate any garbage in the files after a crash or sudden power failures. We have then decided to use ext3 with mode data=journal. Can I rely on this? We use kernel 2.6.5 on PowerPC 8260, and may be using newer kernels later in the project.
