							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 |

							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
									  unwritten data to appear in files after an system crash or
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
									  power failure, which can be a security issue.	 However,
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
									  "data=ordered" mode can also result in major performance
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 |

							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 |
