Let's say one wants to format /home with a greater than default inode density. This is something that one cannot do after filesystem creation with tune2fs, so it needs to be done manually. Sure, one can pop off to another VT and manually format the partition and tell partman to leave it the heck alone... I guess this could also be done in Martin's scenario, it's just that it's more important in this scenario that it happens. regards Andrew -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
