I misspoke w.r.t journalling, the idea I was trying to get across was to remount with -o sync while running on a degraded array, but given some of the other comments in this thread I'm not even sure that would help. the idea was to make writes as safe as possible (at the cost of speed) when running on a degraded array, and to have the transition be as hands-free as possible, just have the kernel (or mdadm) by default remount. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
