Package: e2fsprogs
Version: 1.42.5-1
The manpage says:
-I inode-size
Specify the size of each inode in bytes. mke2fs creates
256-byte inodes by default...
but if I do this for a small test device (~64M):
# mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/whatever
even though /etc/mke2fs.conf has "inode_size = 256" set for ext4, I
still end up with this:
# tune2fs -l /dev/whatever | grep 'Inode size:'
Inode size: 128
I noticed because some tests that expect nanosecond resolution
timestamps were failing on that filesystem. An explicit "-I 256"
argument does create 256 byte inodes, i.e.:
# mke2fs -t ext4 -I 256 /dev/whatever
It'd be nice if at least the -I entry mentioned that mke2fs may override
the default in some cases.
Thanks
