What's the best setting for the random blob of silicon on the end of your usb plug? e2fsprogs can't call tech support, even to get bad answers. We'd like to help in software, but we can't; we have no reliable way of knowing most of the necessary details of this class of hardware. It's not exported in any way. So unfortunately we are as in the dark as you are in this case. -Eric _______________________________________________ Ext3-users mailing list Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
