Public bug reported: My jaunty fstab had all partitions mounted data=ordered.
After the karmic upgrade boot dropped me into busybox, df and /proc/mounts reported different mounts. /proc/mount said / was mounted ro,data=writeback and refused to remount it rw,data=ordered. So I manually remounted it rw,data=writeback and removed data=ordered from my root partition in fstab, and now I can boot, but I'd really rather run / data=ordered. Google and launchpad searches say I'm likely in a very small minority. I don't know if I should report this against mount, but it seems wrong: if the partition is ro, why should remount care about data=?
