ext3 supports direct i/o, but not in 2.4 mainline. It was added in 2.6.
Further direct i/o isn't a mount option. Please read
http://lse.sourceforge.net/io/aio.html
http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0208.1/1213.html
for example.

2.4-aa, 2.4-suse, 2.4-wolk tree and some others have it, 2.4-rh kernels do not
have it.
