However I am afraid that this will break scripts for people. Are there scripts that are really trying to parse the output of mke2fs? The output hasn't really been _that_ stable. I'm sure we've added stuff in the past, althoughg admittedly the this is the first time that we would be removing stuff. > Also there are actually some useful information in that output like > block size, size of the file system and file system label if > specified. Also maybe having UUID in there will be also useful. The block sizs is pretty much always 4k, and the file system label is only there if the user specified one on the command line. I can see how the size and UUID might be useful, though. How about if we just print the size and UUID? - Ted -- 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
