Hello guys.
Has anyone successfully used the 'data=writeback' option on an ext3
partition [on Redhat 8.0]?
I've perused the newsgroups and google, yet have only found a few
references to this problem, with no answers/resolutions.

When I try to mount the partition with the data=writeback option...
# mount -o remount,noatime,defaults,data=writeback /dev/hda2
It returns 'mount: / not mounted already, or bad option'.
I can successfully mount with the noatime option [and all other given
options of course (already within fstab)].

These also have the same effect.
# mount -o remount,noatime,defaults,data=writeback /
# mount -t ext3 -o remount,noatime,defaults,data=writeback /dev/hda2 /

I also want of course to get this into my /etc/fstab.

Using:
RH 8.0
linux-2.4.18-19.8.0

These changes are primarily for optimization for use with MythTV
[www.mythtv.org].

TIA.
