Package: e2fsprogs Version: 1.43.3-1 Severity: minor File: /sbin/mke2fs # mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdg1 mke2fs 1.43.3 (04-Sep-2016) /dev/sdg1 contains a vfat file system labelled 'JIDANNI8G' Proceed anyway? (y,n)
Please say Proceed anyway? (y,N) like aptitude etc. so the user has a hint of the default. Same with # tune2fs -U 26a1643a-011c-4d6b-8234-c327f9dc2495 /dev/sdf2 tune2fs 1.43.3 (04-Sep-2016) Setting UUID on a checksummed filesystem could take some time. Proceed anyway (or wait 5 seconds) ? (y,n) <proceeding> And indeed I did an experiment to find out what happens and determined that it should say (y,N), I.e., if the user just hits RET nothing happens. (Which is quite in contrast to what happens if the user does nothing!) (By the way no first time user will make up his mind or even read completely everything in five seconds.) By the way it didn't take much time at all. Maybe print progress messages instead.
