no sorry, we can't.

if you change fstab you have to also pass the corresponding bootflag.
if you have manualy set this, you just have to fix your bootloader.
if debian installer sets it which i don't know,
then it is up to debian installer to pass the right rootflags.
thus not closing away but ccing debian-installer guys.


12:49 <maks> can d-i set the data=ordered ext3 mountflag ?
12:53 <cjwatson> I don't think it can set it at the moment

this would then be a wishlist on partman or such to allow to set
 this ext3 param.

kind regards
