Yes, great article. The lkml discussion was also fascinating.

We have _severe_ latency issues with ext3 and our RAID arrays, sometimes causing our servers to appear to freeze for tens of seconds during disk writes. A safer 'writeback' mode that eliminates these latencies will be a huge win for us.
