Requiring a sync on every remount that doesn't go read-only seems odd to me, so removing it doesn't sound bad. However I agree that a proper audit of filesystems should be done, e.g.: patch 1: move calls into the filesystems, explaining why filesystems not implementing ->remount_fs should be safe patch 2: remove call from ext4, safe because of $FOO patch b: remove call from $fs, safe because of $BAR -- 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
