Hello,
while testing ext4 with an external journal I found the following problem with longterm kernel 4.4.30:
I could mount the filesystem without specifying the option data=....
It seems that it is then mounted with data=ordered and indeed this is what
cat /proc/mounts
shows.
But I could not change any option afterwards with -o remount. It always said that data=ordered is not valid with an external journal.
If I mount with explicitly stating data=writeback or data=journal remount works fine.
So It seems that ext4 does forbid (at least in 4.4.30) data=ordered as an option but uses it implicitly as default mode even with an external journal.
