The documentation for the mount options now reads: block_validity(*) These options enable or disable the in-kernel noblock_validity facility for tracking filesystem metadata blocks within internal data structures. This allows multi- block allocator and other routines to notice bugs or corrupted allocation bitmaps which cause blocks to be allocated which overlap with filesystem metadata blocks. - Ted
