2010-01-02nilfs2: update mailing list addressRyusuke Konishi
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>
2009-11-20nilfs2: add norecovery mount optionRyusuke Konishi
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>

2009-04-07nilfs2: clean up sketch fileRyusuke Konishi
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.
