From eb513689c97e3e73bb9b4459d490a8e894b4a546 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Theodore Ts'o Date: Mon, 7 Nov 2011 10:47:42 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: ignore journalled data options on remount if fs has no journal This avoids a confusing failure in the init scripts when the /etc/fstab has data=writeback or data=journal but the file system does not have a journal. So check for this case explicitly, and warn the user that we are ignoring the (pointless, since they have no journal) data=* mount option.
