mke2fs doesn't want to make a filesystem with block sizes other than 1024.
It claims I have a bad block 0. For example:
# mke2fs -c -b 4096 /dev/hda1
mke2fs 1.10, 24-Apr-97 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09
Linux ext2 filesystem format
Filesystem label=
130048 inodes, 130024 blocks
6501 blocks (5.00%) reserved for the super user
First data block=0 ****
Block size=4096 (log=2)
Fragment size=4096 (log=2)
4 block groups
32768 blocks per group, 32768 fragments per group
32512 inodes per group
Superblock backups stored on blocks:
32768, 65536, 98304
Checking for bad blocks (read-only test): done
Block 0 in primary superblock/group descriptor area bad.
Blocks 0 through 2 must be good in order to build a filesystem.
Aborting....
whereas:
# mke2fs -c /dev/hda1
mke2fs 1.10, 24-Apr-97 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09
Linux ext2 filesystem format
Filesystem label=
130048 inodes, 520096 blocks
26004 blocks (5.00%) reserved for the super user
First data block=1 ****
Block size=1024 (log=0)
Fragment size=1024 (log=0)
64 block groups
8192 blocks per group, 8192 fragments per group
2032 inodes per group
Superblock backups stored on blocks:
8193, 16385, 24577, 32769, 40961, 49153, 57345, 65537, 73729,
[etc.]
Checking for bad blocks (read-only test): done
Writing inode tables: done
Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: done
Now, what I find interesting is that the first data block is 1 for blocksize
of 1024, and 0 for every other size (2048, 4096).
Any ideas here?
Thanks,
Tim.
