Package: e2fsprogs
Version: 1.38+1.39-WIP-2006.04.09-2
Severity: normal
Manual page reads:
-T fs-type
Specify how the filesystem is going to be used, so that mke2fs
can choose optimal filesystem parameters for that use, as
defined filesystem type configuration settings found in the
/etc/mke2fs.conf(5) file.
DESCRIPTION
The manual page mke2fs.conf(5) does not list valid values for fs-type:
[fs_types]
Contains relations which define defaults that should be used for
specific filesystem types. The filesystem type can be specified
explicitly using the -T option to mke2fs(8). If no filesystem
type is specified, mke2fs(8) will use the filesystem type floppy
if the filesystem size is less than or equal to 3 megabytes. If
the filesystem size is greater than 3 but less than or equal to
512 megabytes, mke2fs(8) will use the filesystem small. Other-
wise, mke2fs(8) will use the default filesystem type default.
And from http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net/e2fsprogs-release.html
"2fsprogs 1.35 (February 28, 2004)" one can read:
Fix a bug in mke2fs which caused -T largefile or -T largefile4
These valued are not dicussed at all (if they are still relevant).
PROBLEMS NEEDING FIXING
- What exactly are the valid values of fs-type?
- How dees the values affect the program, please clarify.
