Any options that aren't generic across filesystems should be moved out of mount(8) into the filesystem man pages in section 4. The fact that the options are in the mount(8) man page is largely a historical artifact dating back to the early 1990's when Linux only had a handful of filesystems. The way to do that pretty much ends up with: 1. Agree that this is the way to do it. 2. Add the options to section 4. 3. Clean up mount(8). ... in that order. -hpa -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-man" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
