Subject: [PATCH] btrfs-progs: add supported attr flags to btrfs(5)
Date: Thu, 26 Jun 2014 15:38:33 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <53AC84C9.2080106@redhat.com> (raw)

The chattr(1) manpage suffers from the same problems mount(1)
had: many options listed, not kept up to date for various
filesystems.

I've submitted a manpage update for chattr(1) which says to
refer to filesystem-specific manpages for supported attributes;
this patch updates btrfs(5) to list the attributes supported
by btrfs.
