This is what I did: tune2fs -O sparse_super,filetype,resize_inode,dir_index,ext_attr,has_journal,extents,huge_file,flex_bg,uninit_bg,dir_nlink,extra_isize /dev/DEV e2fsck -fpDC0 /dev/DEV (Obviously, I booted off a LiveCD and to do this to my disks while they were offline). Some of the online directions say to resize the inodes with: tune2fs -I 256 /dev/DEV but there is a *lot* of chatter on the ext4 mailing list about this not working as it should and you probably should avoid it for now (it can be done separately later). -- Douglas J Hunley - doug.hun...@gmail.com http://douglasjhunley.com Twitter: @hunleyd
