Hi, Creating an ext4 filesystem on a 4 GB image file (to be loop-mounted later) gives me 256K inodes. Choosing -i 4096 instead gives 1M, which would mean the default for -i is 16384. Besides me finding 16384 a little unreasonable (XFS offers 2M inodes by default), the big point is that the mke2fs manpage (belonging to util-linux, hence Cc) does not mention this 16384 default. Hope this can be addressed. # rpm -q e2fsprogs util-linux e2fsprogs-1.41.4-2.2 util-linux-2.14.2-2.2 Jan -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
