UBIFS defaults?

Hi,

currently, UBIFS checks data CRC on read by default, i.e., the
'chk_data_crc' mount option is the default one. This makes people who
apply benchmarks less happy, because they just use the defaults.

Should we make the 'no_chk_data_crc' mount option to be the default
instead? The rationale is that people who do care to read the
documentation can switch to 'chk_data_crc' if they need, and people who
do quick UBIFS evaluation will end up with faster read speed by default.

See this section for more information about the 'no_chk_data_crc' mount
option: http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/doc/ubifs.html#L_checksumming

Would be nice to hear UBIFS users' opinion.
