These are based on the mke2fs patches I had sent earlier. Sorry, I haven't updated the maint branch in a while. The basic idea behinid these patches is that we now get a bit more context with the warning message for ext2/3/4 file systems: % ./misc/mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/heap/media mke2fs 1.42.9 (4-Feb-2014) /dev/heap/media contains a ext4 file system labelled 'media' last mounted on /media on Mon May 5 08:59:53 2014 Proceed anyway? (y,n) I have modified those earlier patches in response to your earlier feedback; we no longer use the 5 second delay by default --- but we skip doing the check at all if either stdin or stdout is not a tty. This saves us in the situation where there is some script which does somethign like this: mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/sdc3 > /tmp/mke2fs.out Basically, we will only ask the user for confirmation when we are certain a user can see both the question and be able to type a response. It's possible we could still get confused by someone running mke2fs under a chat/expect script, but that seems like an acceptable risk. - 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
