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 This means these options are frequently out of date.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? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-man" in the body of a message to majordomo-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
