Has Fedora changed the Ext3 default mount options ?
No. In 2.6.30 kernel, the upstream default option has been switched from ordered to writeback for latency reasons, although this comes at some cost to privacy and security. Since Fedora includes the 2.6.29 kernel, there is no change in the default option. If and when Fedora does update to 2.6.30 or above, it will retain the original default of ordered mode for Fedora 11. Reference: http://lwn.
