The above is a bit difficult to parse due to the ands and commas.
How about a list (.IP \[bu] 3) with the two entries or something
like that?

You could use .TQ:

.TP
.BR domain_id = \fIdid\fP
.TQ
.BR fsid = \fIid\fP

(similarly above in dax, acl, and user_xattr)


That helps searching with

You could use the CONFIGURATION section for this.  :)
Check man-pages(7).

I prefer saying Linux rather than kernel.

Bruh, still have pages that specify the indentation...
Would you mind sending a patch that removes these in fs(5),
or in all the pages you feel like, if you want?
