I believe the default was once changed to 'writeback' and then back to 'ordered'.
Before completely switching to JFS everywhere, I usually had specified default mount options with 'tune2fs -o', so I wouldn't recognize the wrong default option, but this was a foreign hard disk:
"Default mount options: (none)"
"EXT3-fs (sdf1): mounted filesystem with writeback data mode"

Fix:
-# CONFIG_EXT3_DEFAULTS_TO_ORDERED is not set
+CONFIG_EXT3_DEFAULTS_TO_ORDERED=y
This task depends upon
