[PATCH] XFS: fix the description of 'allocsize=' mount option

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

 



From: Satoru Takeuchi <takeuchi_satoru@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The end-of-file preallocation size is dynamic by default.
So the description about the default size of preallocation
should be removed.

Instead, adding the description about the initial size of
dynamic preallocation is useful for users.
