2012-04-11ext3: update documentation with barrier=1 defaultStefan Hajnoczi
Commit 00eacd6 ("ext3: make ext3 mount default to barrier=1") changed the default barrier mount option for ext3. The documentation needs to be updated, so this patch does that.

2011-08-17ext3: remove deprecated oldallocLukas Czerner
For a long time now orlov is the default block allocator in the ext3. It performs better than the old one and no one seems to claim otherwise so we can safely drop it and make oldalloc and orlov mount option deprecated.

2011-07-25ext3.txt: update the links in the section "useful links" to the latest onesWang Sheng-Hui
In Documentation/filesystems/ext3.txt, the section "useful links" provides two links which link to ibm developerworks articles. While the second one can be redirected to the latest one, the first one http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-fs7.html fails to be redirected. Update the 2 links to the latest ones.

2011-06-25ext3/ext4 Documentation: remove bh/nobh since it has been deprecatedLukas Czerner
Bh and nobh mount option has been deprecated in ext4 (206f7ab4f49a2021fcb8687f25395be77711ddee) and in ext3 (4c4d3901225518ed1a4c938ba15ba09842a00770) so remove those options from documentation.

2010-05-21ext3: make barrier options consistent with ext4Eric Sandeen
ext4 was updated to accept barrier/nobarrier mount options in addition to the older barrier=0/1. The barrier story is complex enough, we should help people by making the options the same at least, even if the defaults are different. This patch allows the barrier/nobarrier mount options for ext3, while keeping nobarrier the default. It also unconditionally displays barrier status in show_options, and prints a message at mount time if barriers are not enabled, just as ext4 does.

2009-12-10ext3: make "norecovery" an alias for "noload"Eric Sandeen
Users on the list recently complained about differences across filesystems w.r.t. how to mount without a journal replay. In the discussion it was noted that xfs's "norecovery" option is perhaps more descriptively accurate than "noload," so let's make that an alias for ext3. Also show this status in /proc/mounts Signed-off-by: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

2008-10-20ext3: add an option to control error handling on file dataHidehiro Kawai
If the journal doesn't abort when it gets an IO error in file data blocks, the file data corruption will spread silently. Because most of applications and commands do buffered writes without fsync(), they don't notice the IO error. It's scary for mission critical systems. On the other hand, if the journal aborts whenever it gets an IO error in file data blocks, the system will easily become inoperable. So this patch introduces a filesystem option to determine whether it aborts the journal or just call printk() when it gets an IO error in file data. If you mount a ext3 fs with data_err=abort option, it aborts on file data write error. If you mount it with data_err=ignore, it doesn't abort, just call printk(). data_err=ignore is the default.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
