The easist thing to do is to create a filesystem on a file using mke2fs, and then mount the filesystem using the loopback device: dd if=/dev/zero of=foo.img bs=1k count=16384 mke2fs -f foo.img mount -o loop foo.img /mnt cp -r /source /mnt umount /mnt - Ted _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
