With <para><filename>…</filename></para>, we get a separate "paragraph" for
each line, i.e. entries separated by empty lines. This uses up a lot of space
and was only done because docbook makes it hard to insert a newline. In some
other places, <literallayout> was used, but then we cannot indent the source
text (because the whitespace would end up in the final page). We can get the
desired result with <simplelist>.
With <simplelist> the items are indented in roff output, but not in html
output. In some places this looks better then no indentation, and in others it
would probably be better to have no indent. But this is a minor issue and we
cannot control that.
(I didn't convert all spots. There's a bunch of other man pages which have two
lines, e.g. an executable and service file, and it doesn't matter there so
much.)
This tries to add information about when each option was added. It goes
back to version 183.
The version info is included from a separate file to allow generating it,
which would allow more control on the formatting of the final output.
Apparently both Fedora and suse default to btrfs now, it should hence be
good enough for us too.
This enables a bunch of really nice things for us, most importanly we
can resize home directories freely (i.e. both grow *and* shrink) while
online. It also allows us to add nice subvolume based home directory
snapshotting later on.
Also, whenever we mention the three supported types, alaways mention
them in alphabetical order, which is also our new order of preference.
For users, the square brackets already serve as markup and clearly delineate
the section name from surrounding text. Putting additional markup around that
only adds clutter. Also, we were very inconsistent in using the quotes. Let's
just drop them altogether.
