Subject: mount(8) manpage and filesystem-specific options
Date: Tue, 25 Nov 2008 23:15:58 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081126041558.GA9251@infradead.org> (raw)
Currently the mount(8) manpages which is contained inside util-linux
has a list of mount options for various filesystem. Now the filesystems
are in the kernel tree and can change options without affecting the
mount binary, and of course do so frequently. This means these options
are frequently out of date. All these options also make the manpage
quite large and harder to read. What do peope think about adding a
(section 4?) manpage for every common filesystem in the man-pages
repository instead which people seems to help updating nowdays when
doing user ABI changes, and linking from the mount manpage to it?
