Oops every write with ext3 + sync + data=journal

Oops every write with ext3 + sync + data=journal

[Sean Hunter]

Hi there

I got the 2.5 series functional here for the first time by changing the
mount options on one of my filesystems.  It would crash everytime syslog
tried to write to /var, which was mounted
rw,sync,data=journal,nosuid,nodev

I changed it to rw,nosuid,nodev and the box is now happy.  I'll change
it back sometime to capture the oops if someone cares.

I'll try to get it for you but the machine in question is very busy for
the rest of the weekend and is a mail and dns sever normally so any
outage is not that good.  I had a small window this morning and last
night to get it working.

As I understood it (perhaps incorrectly) if you were mounting a drivE
"sync" data=journal was the way to go.

Perhaps that's wrong.

Is there any good reason for using sync and data=journal together?
