Aha! I was unaware of that mount option. mount(8) documents it, but is unclear |
| 15 |
on what the default value is. attr(5) says it's needed on ext2, ext3 and |
| 16 |
reiserfs, but says nothing about ext4. |

Unfortunately, the machine is in production, and since it works without that |
| 19 |
option when using the ext4 code to read ext3, I would prefer to leave it alone |
| 20 |
for now. |

It is not in PaX_Quickstart. It is mentioned in passing in |
| 26 |
<https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Netflix/Pipelight>, which is not the first place |
| 27 |
I would have thought to look :) |
