Those options apply to RAID. If you're using software RAID, the mkfs command is supposed to autodetect the geometry being used by lower layers and picks the correct options automatically. If you're using hardware RAID you either need to specify these options at mkfs time, or you can use mount options to do it. For an SD card, it sounds inapplicable. -- Chris Murphy -- users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
