[PATCH] ext2 docs update

Removed barrier - it is not an ext2 option.

Corrected the distinction between kernel-selected defaults and values
read from the filesystem.

Fixed some typos.  Shortened line length to 80.

Options
=======
When mounting an ext2 filesystem, the following options are accepted.
Defaults are marked with (*).
Most defaults are determined by the filesystem superblock, and can be
set using tune2fs(8). Kernel-determined defaults are indicated by (*).
bsddf (*) Makes `df' act like BSD.
minixdf Makes `df' act like Minix.
barrier=1 This enables/disables barriers. barrier=0 disables it,
barrier=1 enables it.
orlov (*) This enables the new Orlov block allocator. It's
enabled by default.
oldalloc This disables the Orlov block allocator and
enables the old block allocator. Orlov should
have better performance, we'd like to get some
feedback if it's the contrary for you.
user_xattr (*) Enables POSIX Extended Attributes. It's enabled by
default, however you need to confifure its support
(CONFIG_EXT2_FS_XATTR). This is neccesary if you want
to use POSIX Acces Control Lists support. You can visit
http://acl.bestbits.at to know more about POSIX Extended
attributes.
nouser_xattr Disables POSIX Extended Attributes.
acl (*) Enables POSIX Access Control Lists support. This is
enabled by default, however you need to configure
its support (CONFIG_EXT2_FS_POSIX_ACL). If you want
to know more about ACLs visit http://acl.bestbits.at
noacl This option disables POSIX Access Control List support.
check Check block and inode bitmaps at mount time
(requires CONFIG_EXT2_CHECK).
check=none, nocheck (*) Don't do extra checking of bitmaps on mount
(check=normal and check=strict options removed)
debug Extra debugging information is sent to the
kernel syslog. Useful for developers.
errors=continue (*) Keep going on a filesystem error.
errors=continue Keep going on a filesystem error.
errors=remount-ro Remount the filesystem read-only on an error.
errors=panic Panic and halt the machine if an error occurs.
grpid, bsdgroups Give objects the same group ID as their parent.
nogrpid, sysvgroups (*) New objects have the group ID of their creator.
nogrpid, sysvgroups New objects have the group ID of their creator.
nouid32 Use 16-bit UIDs and GIDs.
oldalloc Enable the old block allocator. Orlov should
have better performance, we'd like to get some
feedback if it's the contrary for you.
orlov (*) Use the Orlov block allocator.
(See http://lwn.net/Articles/14633/ and
http://lwn.net/Articles/14446/.)
resuid=n The user ID which may use the reserved blocks.
resgid=n The group ID which may use the reserved blocks.
resgid=n The group ID which may use the reserved blocks.
sb=n Use alternate superblock at this location.
user_xattr Enable "user." POSIX Extended Attributes
(requires CONFIG_EXT2_FS_XATTR).
See also http://acl.bestbits.at
nouser_xattr Don't support "user." extended attributes.
acl Enable POSIX Access Control Lists support
(requires CONFIG_EXT2_FS_POSIX_ACL).
See also http://acl.bestbits.at
noacl Don't support POSIX ACLs.
nobh Do not attach buffer_heads to file pagecache.
grpquota,noquota,quota,usrquota Quota options are silently ignored by ext2.
