Has anyone been able to boot Red Hat 8.0 with an ext3 root device with it set to writeback mode? When I add bootflags=mode=writeback to my kernel line in Grub, the kernel panics because it doesn't recognize the option. It looks like the kernel first mounts the drive as a ext2, then quickly switches over to ext3. The problem appears to be it checking the bootflags before making the switch. Any ideas on how to fix this? I'd really like to get some disk speed back, lost when I upgraded to ext3.
