From 821bd43ed555fba376e8aa38d825de6c60df90ad Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Thomas=20Wei=C3=9Fschuh?= Date: Wed, 20 Dec 2023 06:02:49 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Docs: remove mentions of fdformat from util-linux MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Since util-linux commit 13b26e3c36d1 ("fdformat: remove command from default build") the fdformat tool is not built anymore by default. As a result it is not packaged anymore by distributions and therefore not usable by users. Instead mention the "mount" command as more likely to be present alternative. Also drop the reference to fdformat from the list of features of new versions of util-linux.
