Hi,
First: I apologize for being dumb. I completely misunderstood how this is
supposed to work. Now that I understood, I don't disagree with the problem
message anymore.
However, I think my result is partly the result of mke2fs -o hurd setting
the filetype feature on linux. Ted, can you make the default of -O be
dependant on the -o option instead on the system you run the command?
(The default of the -o option is of course system specific, which is fine).
mke2fs -o hurd should always disable the filetype feature by default,
regardless if called from linux or not.
This would help a lot.
The other thing that could be changed is: If filetype is disabled, let "yes"
be the default answer on the question: File with filetype found, clear it?
Just as setting the filetype is also done without asking.
If you convert an existing hurd fs, this helps a lot (you could provide -y,
but then you might miss more serious messages).
That's all. Please excuse my confusion.
Thanks,
Marcus
