    ext3: default to ordered mode · aa32a796
    Dave Chinner authored
    data=writeback mode is dangerous as it leads to higher data loss and stale data
    exposure when systems crash. It should not be the default, especially when all
    major distros ensure their ext3 filesystems default to ordered mode. Change the
    default mode to the safer data=ordered mode, because we should be caring far
    more about avoiding stale data exposure than performance.
