[PATCH] ext3/ext4 Documentation: remove bh/nobh since it has been deprecated

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

 



Bh and nobh mount option has been deprecated in ext4
(206f7ab4f49a2021fcb8687f25395be77711ddee) and in ext3
(4c4d3901225518ed1a4c938ba15ba09842a00770)
so remove those options from documentation.
