    The disadvantage of MS_STRICTATIME | MS_LAZYTIME is that

I'd change to "The disadvantage of MS_LAZYTIME is that..."  and
perhaps move that so it's clear it applies to any use of MS_LAZYTIME
has this as a downside.

Does that make sense?

Thanks, Ted. Got it. So, now we have:

       MS_LAZYTIME (since Linux 3.20)

"since Linux 4.0".

D'oh! Yes, thanks. Fixed.

Cheers,

Michael
