Yes. I also thought it was appropriate that where this feature was implemented was on VFS. But ext3/ext4 has already included the message mechanism which operates when ext3/ext4 is mounted/remounted. So, to achieve this feature easily, I have rearranged the message mechanism in ext3/ext4 (ext2 is newly implemented). > > That way we'll have common behavior and less replicated code; nothing in > this patch series is unique to ext[234] as far as I can tell. > > sb->s_type->name could be used to print the fs type in a generic message.
