CentOS - May 2005 - ext3 writeback mode for root parition

I'm trying to enable writeback mode for the root partition.  However, adding
the normal option "rootflags=data=writeback" to my grub.conf kernel
line
doesn't result in writeback mode (according to `dmesg`).
Does anyone know of a way to enable this?

Okay, I /finally/ found an article on some Red Hat list (oh no - I mentioned 
the R-word!) describing the problem:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/psyche-list/2002-December/msg01645.html

In a nutshell, initrd takes care of mounting your root partition, not the 
kernel, so you need to make it mount your root partition in writeback mode by 
modifying the fstab them building a new one.
