I know there is no straightforward way to recover deleted files on an ext3 file system, but is there any way to recover from an accidental mke2fs? -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Paul Raines email: raines@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu MGH/MIT/HMS Athinoula A.

Hi, I have a doubt if I use the mke2fs option the right way. I formatted two different disks, one with $ mke2fs -b 4096 -E stride=16 -m 1 -T news /dev/sdd and the other with $ mke2fs -b 4096 -E stride=16 -m 1 -T largefile4 /dev/sde sdd is supposed to get files between 8k and 16k. sde will handle files with a fixed size of 32Mb.

Hi! I have problem making ext3 FS on new disk. When I run mke2fs, it stops and gives me: "File size limit exceeded". Is this known issue? I'm running linux-2.4.10 with ext3 patch, e2fsprogs-1.25 freshly compiled. Cheers, Vita Appended are outputs of following programs: bash /usr/src/linux/scripts/ver_linux /sbin/mke2fs -m0 -v -j /dev/s...

This time it should hopefully work. I tested all 3 combinations: autoconf ./configure [--disable-linuxdisk | --enable-linuxdisk | <nothing> ] make clean && make && make check and they all appear to do the right thing. Rich.

On RHEL 5, mke2fs is ancient, and there is a non-standard "mke4fs" binary which acts like the more recent mke2fs on Fedora. Since there are several annoyances and actual bugs in the ancient RHEL 5 mke2fs, use mke4fs instead if it's available. -...

Hi there, Is there a utility to create an EXT3 file system image from directories? Just like the mkfs.jffs2 which creates a JFFS2 file system image from directories? The "mke2fs -j" only creates the bare bone file system, what I want is to build an image with pre-built content. Thanks, Debbie

...usting it, to avoid causing more harm than good to the file system. E2fsck now returns additional status bits in its exit code if it aborts early in the e2fsck run. E2fsck now correctly calculates the maximum file size in the case of the huge_file file system feature enabled without extents. The mke2fs and e2fsck programs now tries to use the punch hole command as a "discard" when operating on normal files. The e2image program now supports the qcow2 format, which is a more efficient way of capturing file system dumps. Mke2fs now supports the [devices] stanza in mke2fs.conf which allo...

Hi. I'm using e2fsprogs 1.23 on a Roswell system with a patched 2.4.7 kernel (using patch ext3-2.4-0.9.5-247) and am trying to create an ext3 filesystem whose journal is located on another device. The incantation I'm trying is: mke2fs -j -J device=/dev/hdc2 /dev/hdc3 I keep getting an error along the lines of "mke2fs: Journal superblock not found". I've tried creating different types of filesystems (ext2, ext3, etc.) on the target device for journaling, but this didn't seem to change anything. Could someon...

...that >2GB support went in before ext3 support, and all ext3 filesystems would therefore support >2GB files on ia32. So, I started poking around and found that some of my ext3 filesystems have the "large_file" feature flag set on them, and others do not. I cannot find a manpage for mke2fs anywhere that explains how to set this flag, either at creation time or afterwards. When I try something like "mke2fs -j -O large_file <dev>" mke2fs complains that it doesn't understand the argument. Attempts to create ext3 filesystems using a modern debian-based (2.4.18) rescu...

My wipefs has no --force option, as a result mke2fs command in guestfish fails. Looks like 72dd398679cd0bb803daf306d12558369615ba70 needs an adjustment to make use of do_wipefs? Also str_wipefs is not used in that file. Olaf

...ttps://github.com/libguestfs/nbdkit/tree/master/plugins/floppy I would note that the reason the test fails was nothing to do with free space. It was actually running out of inodes. With ext2/3/4 the number of inodes in the metadata is fixed at creation and based on the size of the disk (see /etc/mke2fs.conf inode_ratio and the mke2fs -i and -N options). Because of the small size of the disk, mke2fs was choosing < 100 inodes, but because the test had 100+ files it failed when creating the later files even though there was enough disk space. There's no easy way to fix this. I think it cou...

Long, long time ago (5,6 years) I formatted this partition using a simple "mke2fs /dev/hda4" call. Block size is 4096. On 5th July, 2004, I accidently reformatted the partition with mke2fs -j /dev/hda4 without having a backup. Silly. (take a look at the '-j' switch which creates a journal!) After that, I spent weeks in reconstructing data and had partial succes...

I've been thinking recently that we should re-enable DIR_INDEX in mke2fs by default. When it first came out, we had done this and were bitten by a few bugs in the code. However, this code has been in heavy use for several thousand filesystem years in Lustre, if not elsewhere, and I'm inclined to think it is pretty safe these days. Likewise, RHEL/FC have had RESI...

...get a 9550SX to support a 1.5TB raid partition. I am unsure whether this is a driver problem, or an ext3 problem (as am getting some other wierdness detecting LUNs), but... fdisk recognizes the disk OK. I make a single extended partition with a single 1.5TB logical partition inside it. I then run mke2fs -j /dev/sdb It gets to writing inode tables, and wants to write 11176 block groups. It gets to 3600 (odd) of 11176 block groups fine, then slows to a complete crawl (2 secs per write), though strace shows it is fine. My suspicious mind says this is 1/3 of the way through the disk, which is 2^31...

Hi, I created a RAID1 array of two physical HDD's with chunk size of 64KiB under Debian "wheezy" using mdadm. As a next step, I would like to create an ext3(or ext4) file-system to this RAID1 array using mke2fs utility. According to RAID-related tutorials, I should create the file-system like this: # mkfs.ext3 -v -L myarray -m 0.5 -b 4096 -E stride=16,stripe-width=32 /dev/md0 Questions: 1) According to manual of mke2fs, value of the "stride" has to be the RAID chunk size in clusters.
