Message-Id: <1389288890-17282-1-git-send-email-cmaiolino@redhat.com> Date: Thu, 9 Jan 2014 15:34:50 -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 Add missing mount options to ext3 and ext4 filesystems. This also remove resize option information from the man page.
