Hmm yes:

UUID=4670fcf0-09a8-4011-bf25-6e5e97f263c6 /                       ext4
relatime,errors=remount-ro,auto_da_alloc,commit=300,journal_ioprio=7

UUID=ca47e5ef-0d7a-4471-ace9-bd19295a5da6 /home                   ext4
relatime,errors=remount-ro,auto_da_alloc,commit=300        1 2

Also I set data=ordered as default in my kernel config.
