From 773bc4f3b6898634a80a41c72a1f34cb89992dcd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ryusuke Konishi Date: Mon, 5 Jul 2010 13:00:08 +0900 Subject: nilfs2: add barrier mount option 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.
