Hello, Sorry for this trivial question, but I did not find the solution myself : Everyone in the ldiskfs/ext4 community is happy since the OST formatting is quicker with the uninit_bg and lazy_itable_init features. And I appreciate a lot this feature too ! However, today for a particular test, When I format my OSTs, I would like this task to be completely finished in order to be sure to have the maximum OSTs bandwidth when I run my benchmarks.
So, I tried the following : --mkfsoptions="-E lazy_itable_init=0,lazy_journal_init=0" but no success : formatting is still really quick and as soon as I mount my OST, iostats show me the formatting activity on it. Is it still possible to format like in the old ext3 age ? Thanks for your help Cédric
