[PATCH 4/4] mkfs: allow setting dax flag on root directory

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

 



From: Darrick J. Wong <darrick.wong@xxxxxxxxxx>

Teach mkfs to set the DAX flag on the root directory so that all new
files can be created in dax mode.  This is a complement to removing the
mount option.
