What's the Arch policy on the new default mount options for ext3?
data=ordered (old, safe, slow behaviour)
or
data=writeback (new default, faster but riskier)

I read on http://lwn.net/Articles/328363/ that you can customize the
default setting.
Personally I'ld stick to ordered for at least until the new
data=guarded arrives but maybe that's just me.
