-Default on a single device filesystem is 'DUP', unless an SSD is detected, in which

+Default on a single device filesystem is 'DUP' and is recommended for metadata
+in general. The duplication might not be necessary in some use cases and it's
+up to the user to changed that at mkfs time or later. This depends on hardware
+that could potentially deduplicate the blocks again but this cannot be detected
+at mkfs time.

+.NOTE
+====
+Up to version 5.14 there was a detection of a SSD device (more precisely
+if it's a rotational device, determined by the contents of file
+`/sys/block/DEV/queue/rotational`) that used to select 'single'. This has
+changed in version 5.15 to be always 'dup'.
+
 Note that the rotational status can be arbitrarily set by the underlying block
 device driver and may not reflect the true status (network block device, memory-backed
-SCSI devices etc). It's recommended to options '--data/--metadata' to avoid confusion.

 On multiple devices the default is 'raid1'.
