Re: [CentOS] default journal mode of ext3

From: Yungwei Chen yungwei@resolvity.com

I found some articles (like https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=75152) on the Internet saying that the default journal mode is writeback. Is that correct? And is the journal mode of the following device writeback too? Thanks.

mount man page says:   data={journal|ordered|writeback}               Specifies the journalling  mode  for  file  data.   Metadata  is               always  journaled.   To use modes other than ordered on the root               filesystem, pass the mode to the kernel as boot parameter,  e.g.               rootflags=data=journal.

It seems to say that the defaults are:   meta: always journaled   data: ordered
