From: "Daniel A. Nobuto" <ramune@earthlink.net>
Since the latest kernels don't have a 'nocheck' option for the ext2fs, mounting filesytems with that option specified in /etc/fstab fails (I found out when I booted a pre-x kernel and saw /usr, /opt, /home, and a few other filesystems failed to mount). Would it be possible to filter out that option before trying to pass it on to the kernel?
Of course mount could ask for the kernel version and have built-in knowledge about which versions will reject it. Or mount could try a second time without nocheck when the mount fails (just like it today tries a second time when mounting a CDROM rw fails). But I would much prefer the kernel to continue accepting this nocheck option and ignore it. When 2.4 comes out many people will have this problem.
Ted, do you agree?
