I was able to reproduce fs corruption by passing barrier=0, _but_ i can't be
sure burriers are disabled for my dm.

fstab say, disabled:
~$ grep barr /etc/fstab
-----------------------------------------------------------------
/dev/mapper/zwerg_buntu-root_one /               ext4   
errors=remount-ro,barrier=0 0       1
/dev/sda8 /home           ext4    defaults,barrier=0        0       2

-------------------------------------------------------------------

proc say, disabled:
$ grep barr /proc/mounts 
----------------------------------------------------------
/dev/mapper/zwerg_buntu-root_one / ext4
rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,barrier=0,data=ordered 0 0
/dev/sda8 /home ext4 rw,relatime,barrier=0,data=ordered 0 0
-------------------------------------------------------------

dmesg say, _enabled_:
kernel 2.6.31-14-generic
~$ dmesg | grep barr
[    7.063589] EXT4-fs (dm-0): barriers enabled
[    9.365835] EXT4-fs (sda8): barriers disabled

kernel 2.6.32-rc5-00011-g2fdc246
[    9.365835] EXT4-fs (sda8): barriers disabled

i know 2.6.32-rc do not printk if barriers are enabled, so i assume they are
still enabled.
I think this mess with dmesg vs proc should be fixed too.
