* nilfs2: remove resize from unsupported features listRyusuke Konishi2011-07-131-1/+0
| | | | | | | | Resize feature was supported by the commit 4e33f9eab07e but it was not reflected to the list of unsupported features in nilfs2.txt file. This updates the list to fix discrepancy. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
* nilfs2: add nodiscard mount optionRyusuke Konishi2010-07-231-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | 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>
* nilfs2: add barrier mount optionRyusuke Konishi2010-07-231-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | 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.

* nilfs2: change default of 'errors' mount option to 'remount-ro' modeRyusuke Konishi2010-05-101-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* nilfs2: issue discard request after cleaning segmentsJiro SEKIBA2010-02-131-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | This adds a function to send discard requests for given array of segment numbers, and calls the function when garbage collection succeeded. Signed-off-by: Jiro SEKIBA <jir@unicus.jp> Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
* nilfs2: update mailing list addressRyusuke Konishi2010-01-021-1/+1
| | | | | | | 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>
* nilfs2: add norecovery mount optionRyusuke Konishi2009-11-201-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>
* nilfs2: Using nobarrier option instead of barrier=offJiro SEKIBA2009-11-201-2/+1
| | | | | | | | Since most of fs using nofoobar style option, modified barrier=off option as nobarrier. Signed-off-by: Jiro SEKIBA <jir@unicus.jp> Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
* nilfs2: modify list of unsupported features in caveatsRyusuke Konishi2009-06-101-3/+2
| | | | | | This clarifies missing features of nilfs as a regular filesystem. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
* nilfs2: clean up sketch fileRyusuke Konishi2009-04-071-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
