[Bug 961251] Re: mkfs.btrfs(8) does not explain -h switch

[Stefan Lasiewski]

Was the "-h" flag ever a valid switch?

The "-h" flag is not mentioned in the Wiki page for mkfs.btrfs [1].

In Ubuntu 12.04, "-h" is not a valid switch:

$ mkfs.btrfs -h
mkfs.btrfs: invalid option -- 'h'
usage: mkfs.btrfs [options] dev [ dev ... ]
options:
	 -A --alloc-start the offset to start the FS
	 -b --byte-count total number of bytes in the FS
	 -d --data data profile, raid0, raid1, raid10 or single
	 -l --leafsize size of btree leaves
	 -L --label set a label
	 -m --metadata metadata profile, values like data profile
	 -n --nodesize size of btree nodes
	 -s --sectorsize min block allocation
