Add the 'label' optional argument to the mkfs action, so it is possible to set a filesystem label direct when creating it. There may be filesystems not supporting changing the label of existing filesystems but only setting it at creation time, so this new optarg will help. Implement it for the most common filesystems (ext*, fat, ntfs, btrfs,...

we wipe the filesystem signatures from device before do mkfs, since we can't trust mkfs can remove the filesystem signature absolutely.

I was playing around with btrfs, and did a mkfs.btrfs on one of my partition. Mistakes, it was my data partition (ext3 based). I have not yet mounted the device, but the mkfs.btrfs continued to completion. Is it possible to salvage my ext3 filesystem? Anyway to reverse the effect of mkfs.btrfs? Thank you for your help/answer. -- Regards...

This requires changing the generator so it can handle passing optional arguments all thr way through to the daemon, changing the protocol (see previous patch set), and implementing the new mkfs-opts call. At the moment there is just an optional blocksize argument, thus mimicking what you can already do with 'mkfs-b'. But this change will allow us in future to encode much of the rest of the /sbin/mkfs command line. Here is how it works from guestfish (with verbose & trace):...

HI, I have just upgraded my Linux 7.1 to 7.2 (so I can have ext3 available for use). My question is how do I format a partition for an ext3 file system? We can normally run the command 'mkfs' or 'mkfs.ext2' to format an ext2 file system, or 'mkfs.xfs' for an xfs file system. I was looking for some utilily like 'mkfs.ext3' or similar. Question: Does ext3 support large file (file > 2GB)? Eventhough there's no mention of ext3 supporting large file, a f...

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=807905 Currently if you specify the blocksize parameter to mkfs-opts with a btrfs filesystem, then it fails, because mkfs.btrfs interprets the -b option as meaning filesystem size. The first patch fixes this by disallowing blocksize (it cannot be mapped meaningfully into btrfs parameters). The second patch adds the full /sbin/mkfs.btrfs utility to the API. We...
