[ext3 data= / FFS] journal ~= sync (ensures consistency of both metadata and file data) ordered ~= softdep (ensures consistency of metadata both internally and with file data) writeback ~= default (ensures consistency of metadata internally but real file data may not agree, e.g. my empty file) Additionally FFS has the async flag which turns off the internal consistency of the metadata structures; I guess there's no equivalent for this in ext?
Isn't it rather default ~= async ? For ext2, at least. Regards, David
