From ade1a29e168ba08b699a418ff5e762315fa33f70 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Badari Pulavarty Date: Mon, 26 Jun 2006 00:25:04 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ext3: Add "-o bh" option This patch adds "-o bh" option to force use of buffer_heads. This option is needed when we make "nobh" as default - and if we run into problems.
