The documentation I could find suggests that this may lead to a security weakness (old data in blocks of a file that was grown just before the crash leaks to a different user). XFS overwrites that data with zeros upon reboot, which tends to irritate users when it happens.
From this point of view, data=ordered doesn't seem too bad. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
