1.3 Mandatory Locking As A Mount Option
---------------------------------------
-Mandatory locking, as described in 'Documentation/filesystems/mandatory.txt'
-was prior to this release a general configuration option that was valid for
-all mounted filesystems. This had a number of inherent dangers, not the
-least of which was the ability to freeze an NFS server by asking it to read
-a file for which a mandatory lock existed.
+Mandatory locking, as described in

From this release of the kernel, mandatory locking can be turned on and off
on a per-filesystem basis, using the mount options 'mand' and 'nomand'.
