                        disabled, any unmounting or unexpected shutdowns will cause
                        the filesystem contents to appear as they did when the
                        filesystem was mounted with that option.
+                       While mounting with checkpoint=disabled, the filesystem must
+                       run garbage collection to ensure that all available space can
+                       be used. If this takes too much time, the mount may return
+                       EAGAIN. You may optionally add a percentage to indicate what
+                       percent of the disk you would be willing to temporarily give
+                       up to avoid additional garbage collection. For instance,
+                       checkpoint=disable:100 would always succeed, but would
+                       potentially make the disk appear full. The actual space that
+                       would be unsuable can be viewed at /sys/fs/f2fs/<disk>/unusable
+                       This space is reclaimed once checkpoint=enable.
