[PATCH 38/47] mke2fs: Warn if not enabling all the features that metadata_csum wants

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

 



There are some features (gdt_csum, 64bit, bg_use_meta_csum) that help
metadata_csum to work optimally.  Print a warning if the user tries to create a
filesystem without those features.
