Split this off from previous note (different subject, though
forgot to change previous subject line fully! *arg*).
As another matter of being user friendly, why can't specify a defaults
line for all mounts with the option of per-type defaults taking precedence:
default * defaults defaults,x-'"mostly for completeness"'
default xfs defaults logbsize=256k,largeio,nodiratime
/dev/sdf xfs defaults su=64k,sw=256k
...
-------------
fs-type specific mounts would be applied after global
defaults, and in the 3rd line, what I am trying
to allow for (some way to tell any future space
managers to pay attention to the above alignment --
i.e. mkfs would be sure to set such params for xfs,
lvm and partition managers _could_ both use that information
to align layout.... etc. Obviously the work /util would
have to come over time, but setting up a standard place
for such information is necessary -- and the file-system table
seems like a logical place to describe file-volume and filesystem details.
THE main purpose behind defaults -- is to apply to interactively made
mounts,
so a user can have some set of defaults they want to, by default,
be applied when they use a mount command interactively.
(It can save on typing when working w/multiple temporary mounts &
filesystems).
