Package: e2fsprogs Version: 1.40.8-2 Severity: wishlist Hi Ted,
I wonder whether it would be possible to tell mk2fs to use different defaults for block and inode size if a Hurd-owned partition (i.e., the user passed -o hurd) is requested. The ext2fs server in the Debian GNU/Hurd distribution can only deal with a blocksize of 4096 right now, and it requires an inode-size of 128, it apparently does not boot with anything else. As mke2fs recently changed the default inode-size in unstable, we get reports from users (plus sometimes users create really small partitions which get a smaller block size than 4096). We could (and will) update our documentation to specify -I 128 besides the usual -b 4096 -o hurd when creating an ext2 partition for use with GNU/Hurd, but it might be less error-prone if mke2fs could just default to those if -o hurd is requested, if that is feasable in the command-line parser. best regards, Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
