    I've heard this suggested a few times - it's *not* true - It is still
    not entirely safe to remove the +S from ext3.

    The misunderstanding comes about because ext3 does synchronously update
    directory entries on fsync().

    BUT - postfix relies on synchronous behaviour for rename() and unlink(),
    and without the patch from Andrew Morton, ext3 doesn't currently
    provide this.
