[Ocfs2-tools-devel] [RFC][PATCH] ocfs2-tools: remove datavolume from mount.ocfs2.8

[Sunil Mushran]

I don't think we can remove the datavolume mount option from enterprise
releases just like that. We will have to deprecate it... so that users 
not have
to edit fstab. Meaning the fs should warn the user that that option is no
longer in use.
