What we probably would want is something similar to that code (in _ext4_show_options) which is more generic, and could generate a string for use in the remount case as well. -Eric -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
