Re: ext3 - RedHat Whitepaper confusion.

Where do you set data=anything?   I found a few papers on tuning
ext3.  These papers talk about setting the journaling mode, but don't
tell you how to do this.

Below are three paragraphs from the RedHat White paper on ext3.
The first paragraph says data=ordered is the default mode. The last

The second paragraph starting on the second line says that to journal
metadata but not file data  use data=ordered or data=writeback,
This contradicts the first paragraph that says that data=ordered
journals data. Which is correct?

All this is very confusing, is it not? Any clarification would be
appreciated.

The mount man page says that data=ordered is the default.
That's the one I'd truse unless you change the options in /etc/fstab or
when you mount the filesystem.

Thanks. It is strange that the man page does a better job explaining
the differences between the three typed of ext3 journalling than the
white paper does.
