From 7e58f641b491d2674617a128ae9f80ba2f7d78ca Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Phillip Susi Date: Fri, 7 Feb 2014 17:01:20 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] fix mkfs --verbose and man page mkfs did not actually accept the long form --verbose option. Also the man page seemed to indicate that version/verbose/help options were passed to the filesystem specific utility when this is not the case.
