The default is to do no conversion. Use + iocharset=utf8 for UTF-8 translations. This requires + CONFIG_NLS_UTF8 to be set in the kernel .config file. + iocharset=none specifies the default behavior explicitly. + +resize=value + Resize the volume to <value> blocks. JFS only supports + growing a volume, not shrinking it. This option is only + valid during a remount, when the volume is mounted + read-write. The resize keyword with no value will grow + the volume to the full size of the partition. + +nointegrity + Do not write to the journal. The primary use of this option + is to allow for higher performance when restoring a volume + from backup media. The integrity of the volume is not + guaranteed if the system abnormally abends. + +integrity(*) + Commit metadata changes to the journal. Use this option to + remount a volume where the nointegrity option was + previously specified in order to restore normal behavior. + +errors=continue + Keep going on a filesystem error. +errors=remount-ro(*) + Remount the filesystem read-only on an error. +errors=panic + Panic and halt the machine if an error occurs. + +uid=value + Override on-disk uid with specified value +gid=value + Override on-disk gid with specified value +umask=value + Override on-disk umask with specified octal value. For + directories, the execute bit will be set if the corresponding + read bit is set. + +discard=minlen, discard/nodiscard(*) + This enables/disables the use of discard/TRIM commands. + The discard/TRIM commands are sent to the underlying + block device when blocks are freed. This is useful for SSD + devices and sparse/thinly-provisioned LUNs. The FITRIM ioctl + command is also available together with the nodiscard option. + The value of minlen specifies the minimum blockcount, when + a TRIM command to the block device is considered useful. + When no value is given to the discard option, it defaults to + 64 blocks, which means 256KiB in JFS. + The minlen value of discard overrides the minlen value given + on an FITRIM ioctl(). + +The JFS mailing list can be subscribed to by using the link labeled +"Mail list Subscribe" at our web page http://jfs.sourceforge.net/ |
