Since bugzilla seems to be down now, I'll reply by email: Won't it make sence to use 'nodelalloc' by default when ext4 driver is used for ext2 or ext3 filesystem? Because delayed allocation has some implications people need not expect - like the overestimation of needed blocks, or changed semantics of ordered data mode etc... So something like the patch below?
