Question is how to determine what this format is for an already existing ext2fs filesystem, either from base system or from e2fstools package. One solution would be to reboot with a GNU/Linux live/rescue system and check from there with `tune2fs -l`. The other way around, I do deploy NetBSD

Finding parameters of existing ext2fs partition

2020-02-23 Thread Thomas Mueller
I see there is newfs_ext2fs in NetBSD base system, and a parameter -O (can be set to 0 or 1) for fileystem format: 0 is default for NetBSD. Question is how to determine what this format is for an already existing ext2fs filesystem, either from base system or from e2fstools package. I tried
