ext3 mount options differ from linux kernel doc

  • 772

I'm playing in my server lab with ext3 filesystem mount options, looking the kernel doc 

https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/filesystems/ext3.txt

I'm using redhat 5.8, if try to mount the fs in this way

mount -o noload /dev/vgmirror/lvmirror /mnt/
mount -o norecovery /dev/vgmirror/lvmirror /mnt/
mount -o journal=noload /dev/vgmirror/lvmirror /mnt/
mount -o journal=norecovery /dev/vgmirror/lvmirror /mnt/

Every above commands fails with error

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/vgmirror/lvmirror,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail  or so

This mount options was removed on redhat? or the kernel doc is deprecated? or i'm using the wrong commands?

  1. The man-page you are linking to refers to the latest version of the linux kernel, while you are on Red Hat 5.8 which uses a quite older kernel.

    You are better out using the online documentation on the server.

    Use the following command on the server and use this as your reference instead.

    man 8 mount
