Maybe with some transition period where > deprecation message is shown but the option actually still works. +1 for this from a user. I'd like to see this moved to blockdev sysfs in the long term. During the transition period there could be both the old barrier mount option (with a deprecated warning upon use) and the sysfs knobs. Flush and FUA would be delivered to disk only if both the barriers are enabled in the mount options (which is also the default) and the sysfs are at "noignore" value. Alternatively, the barrier mount option could affect the sysfs knobs values upon mount. Eventually the barrier mount option would be removed becoming always-on, leaving only the sysfs knobs. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
