You can manually set the flag using debugfs: # debugfs -w /dev/hdXX debugfs: set_super_value s_flags 4 debugfs: quit (Or, if you're lazy, you can also type the shorthand "ssv flags 4" to debugfs.) With e2fsprogs 1.40.5, if the test_fs flag is set, then blkid will return a filesystem type ext4dev, such that if your mount is configured to use blkid (instead of vol_id), it will automatically use ext4dev to mount a filesystem that has (a) a journal (since ext4 currently requires a journal), and (b) the test_fs flag set. This makes it easier for people who are testing ext4, since they will just be able to do something like: # mke2fs -j -E test_fs /dev/mapper/lvmset-test # mount /dev/mapper/lvmset-test .. and /dev/mapper/lvmset-test will automatically be mounted using ext4. - Ted
thanks for your quick answer! i think i've learned something more about ext4 and those flags.
