[PATCH 3/8][e2fsprogs] add new -D <desc-size> option to mkfs

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Valerie Clement <valerie.clement@xxxxxxxx>

This patch adds a new option -D <descriptor-size> to mkfs to allow creating
ext4 filesystems with larger group descriptor size.

By default, the group descriptor size is 32 bytes.
To support 64-bit physical block numbers and thus to be able to use filesystems
 > 16TB, the group descriptor size must be increased to 64 bytes.

Use mkfs -t ext4 -D 64 to create an ext4 filesystem with 64-byte group
descriptor size. This set the EXT4_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_64BIT flag on device.

The descriptor size is limited to a power-of-two value and to the block size.
