2010-07-23nilfs2: add nodiscard mount optionRyusuke Konishi
Nilfs has "discard" mount option which issues discard/TRIM commands to underlying block device, but it lacks a complementary option and has no way to disable the feature through remount. This adds "nodiscard" option to resolve this imbalance. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
2010-07-23nilfs2: add barrier mount optionRyusuke Konishi
Nilfs enables write barriers by default and has "nobarrier" mount option to disable this feature. But it lacks the complementary option and has no way to re-enable the feature on remount. This adds "barrier" option to resolve this imbalance. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
2010-05-10nilfs2: change default of 'errors' mount option to 'remount-ro' modeRyusuke Konishi
Like ext3, nilfs has 'errors' mount option to allow specifying desired behavior on severe errors. Currently, the default action is 'errors=continue' and has potential to advance filesystem corruption for severe errors. This will change the action to 'errors=remount-ro' to avoid the issue.

2010-01-02nilfs2: update mailing list addressRyusuke Konishi
This replaces the list address for nilfs discussion to linux-nilfs at vger.kernel.org from users at nilfs.org. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
2009-11-20nilfs2: add norecovery mount optionRyusuke Konishi
This adds "norecovery" mount option which disables temporal write access to read-only mounts or snapshots during mount/recovery. Without this option, write access will be even performed for those types of mounts; the temporal write access is needed to mount root file system read-only after an unclean shutdown. This option will be helpful when user wants to prevent any write access to the device. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp> Cc: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com>

2009-06-10nilfs2: modify list of unsupported features in caveatsRyusuke Konishi
This clarifies missing features of nilfs as a regular filesystem. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
2009-04-07nilfs2: clean up sketch fileRyusuke Konishi
The sketch file is a file to mark checkpoints with user data. It was experimentally introduced in the original implementation, and now obsolete. The file was handled differently with regular files; the file size got truncated when a checkpoint was created. This stops the special treatment and will treat it as a regular file. Most users are not affected because mkfs.nilfs2 no longer makes this file.
