         The ``-x`` or ``--one-file-system`` option excludes directories, that are mountpoints (and everything in them).
         It detects mountpoints by comparing the device number from the output of ``stat()`` of the directory and its
         parent directory. Specifically, it excludes directories for which ``stat()`` reports a device number different
-        from the device number of their parent. Be aware that in Linux (and possibly elsewhere) there are directories
-        with device number different from their parent, which the kernel does not consider a mountpoint and also the
-        other way around. Examples are bind mounts (possibly same device number, but always a mountpoint) and ALL
-        subvolumes of a btrfs (different device number from parent but not necessarily a mountpoint). Therefore when
-        using ``--one-file-system``, one should make doubly sure that the backup works as intended especially when using
-        btrfs. This is even more important, if the btrfs layout was created by someone else, e.g. a distribution
-        installer.
