When I yank my power chord off of my Thinkpad T61 running 2.6.37 I get
the following:
[ 79.523778] Monitor-Mwait will be used to enter C-3 state
[ 81.195402] EXT4-fs (sda1): re-mounted. Opts: errors=remount-ro,commit=600
mcgrof@tux ~ $ mount| grep sda1
/dev/sda1 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro,commit=600)
When I plug the power chord it back in I get:
[ 216.185265] EXT4-fs (sda1): re-mounted. Opts: errors=remount-ro,commit=0
mcgrof@tux ~ $ mount | grep sda1
/dev/sda1 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro,commit=0)
Is this to be expected?
Luis

FWIW I do not observe anything like this on Dell Latitude d630.

Sounds like you have some userspace script which is being triggered on the transition running on batteries, and it's doing a remount -o commit=600 to save power. Are you using laptop_mode by any chance?

That is interesting indeed. While I am running a substantially older kernel ( 2.6.35-24-generic #42-Ubuntu 10.10 ). I was seeing a consistent problem where if you pulled the power cord while the system was under heavy I/O load, you could no longer run sync. The jbd2 process just kept on running forever continuously. Shutdown was impossible to because vfs unmount blocked (hold power key for 4+ seconds...).
The script in question is:
/usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/journal-commit
I commented out the line:
# mount -o remount,$2 $1
And now gone is the nasty problem of not being able to shutdown or have processes block on a call to sync(). Clearly this is nothing more than a band aid, and perhaps it is fixed in a newer kernel (one can hope anyway).
Cheers,
Jason.

Yeah, there were two separate bugs that have been addressed recently;
both were in the generic VFS and writeback code. One was a fix to do
more efficient forced writeouts at umount time.
The other was a fix so that if new dirty pages are continuously being
created (by having processes always writing more pages, those dastards :-),
to make sync stop by only having it write the pages that were dirty
at the time when the sync was initiated.
