   ihashsize=value
-	Sets the number of hash buckets available for hashing the

-	will be displayed in /proc/mounts.
+	In memory inode hashes have been removed, so this option has

   ikeep/noikeep
-	When inode clusters are emptied of inodes, keep them around

-	and is still the default for now.  Using the noikeep option,
-	inode clusters are returned to the free space pool.
