From 4113c4caa4f355b8ff8b7ff0510c29c9d00d30b3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lukas Czerner Date: Sat, 8 Oct 2011 14:34:47 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: remove deprecated oldalloc For a long time now orlov is the default block allocator in the ext4. It performs better than the old one and no one seems to claim otherwise so we can safely drop it and make oldalloc and orlov mount option deprecated. This is a part of the effort to reduce number of ext4 options hence the test matrix.
