Hello,


	The issue has been around for a while:

http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/3/24/415

The 2.6.30 kernel now has data=guarded mode that can be used instead  
of data=ordered for ext3.
I think the default could have been data=writeback which is pretty  
much insane.

You can follow a nice history of what has been going on.
