[PATCH] mke2fs: avoid inode number error with large FS

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

 



From: Alexey Lyashkov <alexey.lyashkov@xxxxxxxxx>

Sometimes during system deployment customers are faced with system
formating problem for given inodes/bytes rate. User need to recalucate
this rate and start formating again.

This patch adds code that limit inodes count instead of error return,
to use all inodes in the filesystem.
