Date: Fri, 10 Jan 2014 11:06:40 -0200 From: Carlos Maiolino <cmaiolino@...hat.com> To: util-linux@...r.kernel.org, linux-ext4@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH] Update ext3/4 mount options [V2] Add missing mount options to ext3 and ext4 filesystems. This also remove resize option information from the man page.
