+auto_da_alloc(*) Many broken applications don't use fsync() when
+noauto_da_alloc replacing existing files via patterns such as
+ fd = open("foo.new")/write(fd,..)/close(fd)/
+ rename("foo.new", "foo"), or worse yet,
+ fd = open("foo", O_TRUNC)/write(fd,..)/close(fd).
+ If auto_da_alloc is enabled, ext4 will detect
+ the replace-via-rename and replace-via-truncate
+ patterns and force that any delayed allocation
+ blocks are allocated such that at the next
+ journal commit, in the default data=ordered
+ mode, the data blocks of the new file are forced
+ to disk before the rename() operation is
+ committed. This provides roughly the same level
+ of guarantees as ext3, and avoids the
+ "zero-length" problem that can happen when a
+ system crashes before the delayed allocation
+ blocks are forced to disk.
