I tried again, and still no luck, but then I tried mkfs.ext2, and that
worked. I now have a filesystem that I can mount, although it shows up
as owned by root. However, this is less than ideal, as (apparently)
ext2 cannot do labels. It now appears as '252 GB Volume' instead of the
label that I gave it with ext4 '256GB-1.' The problem is that I have
two of these devices, and I am easily confused. I want my label. Plus,
why should I settle for a filesystem that was superseded many years
ago? And it bothers me that it can't be formatted ext4. What is wrong
with this drive?
