commit d47748e5 upstream. Current behavior is to automatically disable metacopy if redirect_dir is not enabled and proceed with the mount. If "metacopy=on" mount option was given, then this behavior can confuse the user: no mount failure, yet metacopy is disabled. This patch makes metacopy=on imply redirect_dir=on. The converse is also true: turning off full redirect with redirect_dir= {off|follow|nofollow} will disable metacopy. If both metacopy=on and redirect_dir={off|follow|nofollow} is specified, then mount will fail, since there's no way to correctly resolve the conflict. Reported-by:
