UBUNTU: [SAUCE] ext3 defaults to ordered mode

This patch fixes bug 510067 on launchpad.
It changes the default compile time option for ext3 from "writeback" to "ordered",
so as to mount the ext3 fs with the "data=ordered" option by default. This change
prevents a potential security threat of older data being exposed accidentally under
"data=writeback" mode.

Do consider merging this for Karmic.

Subject: [PATCH] UBUNTU: [SAUCE] ext3 defaults to ordered mode

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/510067

To prevent a security threat of older data being inadvertently exposed,
the default mount option of ext3 should be ordered instead of writeback. This
patch changes the default compile time option for ext3 to reflect the same in
the default mount time option.

I think you need to use the config template.
