Summary0003060: write barriers not supported, ext3 does not complain
DescriptionWhen mounting an ext3 fs with "-o barrier=1" which resides on a device-mapper-backed device, the barrier feature will obviously not work. Device-mapper does not support write barriers. However xfs reports the lack of a barrier to the user via dmesg. Ext3 just silently mounts the device, without mentioning the problem.

This should be changed. Ext3 should complain or at least issue a warning with a hint on where to find further information.
