Specification
=============
Ext3 shares all disk implementation with the ext2 filesystem, and adds
'-o barriers=[0|1]' mount option for both ext3 and ext4 filesystems
for a fair comparison. When tuning ext3 for best benchmark numbers,
it is often worthwhile to try changing the data journaling mode; '-o
- data=writeback,nobh' can be faster for some workloads. (Note
- however that running mounted with data=writeback can potentially
- leave stale data exposed in recently written files in case of an
- unclean shutdown, which could be a security exposure in some
- situations.) Configuring the filesystem with a large journal can
- also be helpful for metadata-intensive workloads.

-bh (*) ext4 associates buffer heads to data pages to
-nobh (a) cache disk block mapping information

-
stripe=n Number of filesystem blocks that mballoc will try
to use for allocation size and alignment. For RAID5/6
systems this should be the number of data
write and convert the extent to initialized after IO
completes. This approach allows ext4 code to avoid
using inode mutex, which improves scalability on high
- speed storages. However this does not work with nobh
- option and the mount will fail. Nor does it work with
+ speed storages. However this does not work with
data journaling and dioread_nolock option will be
ignored with kernel warning. Note that dioread_nolock
code path is only used for extent-based files.
