From the "-S" section of the mkfs.extX man page: "It is critical to specify the correct filesystem blocksize when using this option, or there is no chance of recovery." The "-S" command posted earlier didn't have that - and it's probably at least part of what uptream means by "know the intrinsics." -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org 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?
