[Bug 659373] [NEW] Incomplete line in mount options for ext4 man page

[Simon Déziel]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mount

The man page of mount includes a section about ext4 options. In that
section the explanation about 'journal_async_commit' is incomplete.

It reads like this :

       journal_async_commit
              Commit block can be written to disk without waiting for descriptor blocks. If enabled older kernels cannot mount the device. This will enable

This should read like this according to
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob;f=Documentation/filesystems/ext4.txt
:

      journal_async_commit
             Commit block can be written to disk without waiting for descriptor blocks. If enabled older kernels cannot  mount the device. This will enable 'journal_checksum' internally.
