I tested it with 2.2.12-pre4 and it worked fine for me. The box seams still resonably responsive with / mounted sync, so if it's safer, I want it.
Anyway this is the kind of patch that I'd really like to see comments on from Linux big names. Either it's conceptualy broken and I'd (and probably many others) like to know why, or it's the kind of thing that we definetly want in all standard trees, even if it's not 100% granting agains meta data corruption.
Lastly, I bet you'd better refine the sentence: 'Just mount ext2fs with "sync" option, ext2fs will keep consistency of filesystem. Your filesystem would never be broken.' in http://www03.u-page.so-net.ne.jp/da2/h-takaha/userguide.html Do you mean that you force the controler and disk to write meta datas in the right order to the disk, or do you assume that there is no order problem at controler and disk cache level ?
