Package: e2fsprogs
Version: 1.42~WIP-2011-07-02-1
Severity: minor
The manpage description of the -O option describes the 'extent' feature:
extent Instead of using the indirect block scheme for stor‐
ing the location of data blocks in an inode, use
extents instead. This is a much more efficient
encoding which speeds up filesystem access, espe‐
cially for large files.
The -t section includes an example that says:
e.g., "mke2fs -t ext3 -O extents /dev/sdXX"
Apparently both work, so neither is incorrect, but before looking into it I
assumed one was a typo, and I was confused about which was correct.
I'd suggest either changing the "extent" to "extent|extents" in the manpage, or
using only 'extent' consistently throughout the document.
