I am trying to specify the number of bytes per inode on a partion in
my kickstart config. I am familiar with the mkfs.ext3 flag
--bytes-per-inode. Is there a way to pass this flag through kickstart?
I've noticed in my googling that in older versions of kickstart (as
late as RH 8) there was a flag to the 'part' option
(--bytes-per-inode=) which allowed this. It seems like this flag was
removed in later versions of kickstart.
It was? Still there in my Fedora Core 4 docs:
$ grep -A4 bytes-per /usr/share/doc/anaconda-10.2.1.5/kickstart-docs.txt
--bytes-per-inode=
Specifies the size of inodes on the filesystem to be made on
the partition. Not all filesystems support this option, so it
is silently ignored for those cases.
