From: akpm@osdl.org To: j.dreyer@butonic.de, mm-commits@vger.kernel.org Subject: + nfsroot-do-not-silently-stop-parsing-on-an-unknown-option.patch added to -mm tree Date: Tue, 29 Nov 2005 13:39:07 -0800 (22:39 CET) The patch titled nfsroot: do not silently stop parsing on an unknown option has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is nfsroot-do-not-silently-stop-parsing-on-an-unknown-option.patch From: "Jorn Dreyer" It would be helpful if the kernel did not silently stop parsing nfs options, but instead warned about any he does not recognize. The attached patch adds one printk to do just that. It took me a couple of hours to find my configuration mistake.
