    ext3: Update Kconfig description of EXT3_DEFAULTS_TO_ORDERED · 6d418076
    Theodore Ts'o authored
    The old description for this configuration option was perhaps not
    completely balanced in terms of describing the tradeoffs of using a
    default of data=writeback vs. data=ordered.  Despite the fact that old
    description very strongly recomended disabling this feature, all of
    the major distributions have elected to preserve the existing 'legacy'
    default, which is a strong hint that it perhaps wasn't telling the
    whole story.
    
    This revised description has been vetted by a number of ext3
    developers as being better at informing the user about the tradeoffs
    of enabling or disabling this configuration feature.
