From ad434017718a725b1695fb2ebfff312cf3693d3b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lukas Czerner Date: Tue, 7 Jun 2011 12:27:05 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] ext3/ext4 Documentation: remove bh/nobh since it has been deprecated Bh and nobh mount option has been deprecated in ext4 (206f7ab4f49a2021fcb8687f25395be77711ddee) and in ext3 (4c4d3901225518ed1a4c938ba15ba09842a00770) so remove those options from documentation.
