ext3: make "norecovery" an alias for "noload"
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Users on the list recently complained about differences across
filesystems w.r.t. how to mount without a journal replay.

In the discussion it was noted that xfs's "norecovery" option is
perhaps more descriptively accurate than "noload," so let's make
that an alias for ext3.

Also show this status in /proc/mounts
