XFS surely rocks, but it's missing one critical component: data=ordered

So that's the secret why people still use ext3, and XFS' reliance on external 
hardware to ensure integrity is really misplaced.

Now, maybe when we get the data=ordered onto the VFS level, then maybe XFS 
may become viable for the enterprise, and ext3 may cease to be KING.

Wow, thanks for bringing an advocacy thread onto linux-fsdevel.  Just what
we wanted.  Do you have any insight into how to "get the data=ordered
onto the VFS level"?  Because to me, that sounds like pure nonsense.
