+config EXT3_DEFAULTS_TO_ORDERED
+ bool "Default to 'data=ordered' in ext3 (legacy option)"
+ depends on EXT3_FS
+ help
+ If a filesystem does not explicitly specify a data ordering
+ mode, and the journal capability allowed it, ext3 used to
+ historically default to 'data=ordered'.
+
+ That was a rather unfortunate choice, because it leads to all
+ kinds of latency problems, and the 'data=writeback' mode is more
+ appropriate these days.
+
+ You should probably always answer 'n' here, and if you really
+ want to use 'data=ordered' mode, set it in the filesystem itself
+ with 'tune2fs -o journal_data_ordered'.
+
+ But if you really want to enable the legacy default, you can do
+ so by answering 'y' to this question.
