not sure if the mount scrips support it (haven't checked) but i think if you sync right before an unmount it should fix the problem.... believe i read that somewhere.

An anonymous reader writes "Andrew Morton alerted readers of the Linux Kernel mailing list today that ext3 in the 2.4.20 kernel has a new bug that can easily cause file data corruption at unmount time. The bug will only affect people using ext3 in "data=journal" mode, which fortunately is not the default... Full details can be read on KernelTrap."

If you find Details on this issue, or eaven a working link to a patch, please tell me!
