I was wondering if in a future mandrake kernel they would consider updating their ext3 kernel options.
I would like to be able to add "rootflags=data=writeback" to the boot parameters and then set 'data=writeback' in the fstab for / to enable writeback mode for the ext3 file system. This works fine with a custom kernel I made awhile back, but not with the mandrake one. The machine will freeze. I'm guessing something needs to be compiled directly into the kernel and not as a module. Since I've reinstalled lately, I haven't bothered to build a custom kernel so i'm just using the default ordered data mode. Out of curiosity does a config file to recreate the stock mandrake kernel exist? I was just curious what all their default options were.. I suppose I could just switch to ReiserFS, but I recently learned about the dump command, which looks too useful to give up compatibility with. -Robert
