Vanilla kernel.org 3.2.6:

~$ cat /proc/mounts
/dev/sda7 /samba xfs rw,relatime,attr2,delaylog,noquota 0 0

It doesn't show the default logbufs and logbsize values.  I asked about
this specific issue over a year ago, because the documentation is
inconsistent, and you can't get the default values out of a running
system.  If you can I don't know how.  If someone stated a method, I
can't recall it. :(

I do recall Dave, IIRC, saying something to the effect of 'just use the
defaults, as they are 8 and 256K in recent kernels anyway'.  That's not
a direct quote, but my recollection.
