Are defaults for mkfs.xfs such that nobody sane uses them, or does xfs really hate whatever git selftests are doing this much? -Mike -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
