I have tried to keep the tools mainline centric. Enterprise users have a user's guide as the reference. I think this will sort itself out as ocfs2 in enterprise distros is closer to the mainline kernel. The other option is not to mention the version. But then we hurt the non-enterprise users for whom we have no other docs. > Erm, and then we'll be left with the same situation as --fs-features where > one gets updated and the other doesn't, etc... I think what *was* a mistake > was me not putting a pointer to mkfs.ocfs2.8 for --journal-options... Sure. That will work.
