Bug Description

For data partitions, I always use the ext3 mount option data=journal. It would be great if I could set that option already in the installer (instead of changing /etc/fstab later).

Also missing is "acl", needed for POSIX 1003.1e Access Control List support.

patch to support data={journal,ordered,writeback}, acl, and noauto mount options for ext{3,4} Edit (1.3 KiB, text/plain)

We specifically need data=writeback. I've created a patch that works for this case. It's a very simple patch. Getting this into Lucid 10.04.2 would help us immensely as well.
