Also i guess this enables us to run without using a > journal even if mke2fs created a journal for us We think adding this "data=nojournal" mount option is a very good idea. To be more specific, after adding this option, the semantics will be: If mke2fs does not create a journal, then we should use the "data=nojournal" mount option only. If mke2fs creates a journal for us, we are allowed to use one of the following 4 mount options: data=nojournal data=writeback data=ordered data=journal We are now working on this patch and will submit it in a couple of weeks. Meanwhile if Ted could take the most recent patch from Curt to fix the data corruption problem, that would be great!
