nobh mount option in ext3/4?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



ext3 and ext4 heave inherited the nobh option from ext2, but the
implementation is rather interesting.  Except for the usual
option parsing / display it's only respected in
ext3_writeback_writepage/ext4_writepage and the truncate_page
implementation.  Given that we don't take any more than usual
care to not create buffers heads during read this is not going
to effect a whole lot.

Is there a good reason to keep these options and the associated
code complexity?  I'd be rather surprised if it gets any sufficient
testing..
