Subject: [PATCH] ext3/ext4 Documentation: remove bh/nobh since it has been deprecated
Date: Tue, 7 Jun 2011 12:27:05 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1307442425-7835-1-git-send-email-lczerner@redhat.com> (raw)
Bh and nobh mount option has been deprecated in ext4
(206f7ab4f49a2021fcb8687f25395be77711ddee) and in ext3
(4c4d3901225518ed1a4c938ba15ba09842a00770)
so remove those options from documentation.
