Almost none of the errors stemming from a valid mount option but wrong value prints a descriptive message which would help to identify why mount failed. Like in the linked report: $ uname -r v4.19 $ mount -o compress=zstd /dev/sdb /mnt mount: /mnt: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb, missing codepage or helper program, or other error. $ dmesg ... BTRFS error (device sdb): open_ctree failed Errors caused by memory allocation failures are left out as it's not a user error so reporting that would be confusing.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
