    ext4: Remove "extents" mount option · 83982b6f
    Theodore Ts'o authored
    This mount option is largely superfluous, and in fact the way it was
    implemented was buggy; if a filesystem which did not have the extents
    feature flag was mounted -o extents, the filesystem would attempt to
    create and use extents-based file even though the extents feature flag
    was not eabled.  The simplest thing to do is to nuke the mount option
    entirely.  It's not all that useful to force the non-creation of new
    extent-based files if the filesystem can support it.
