ext2: add help text forBR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_EXT2_BLOCKSYann E. MORIN (8):
package/mke2img: checknb_blocksis specified package/mke2img: specifying zero inodes means auto fs/ext2: always pass the number of inodes fs/ext2: always pass the label option fs/ext2: allow reserving zero block for root fs/ext2: simplify code
package/mke2img: add option to specify block size fs/ext2: add option to specify block size
Quoted 3 lines
In general, I find this good. However, it badly conflicts with the on-going work to move away from mke2img/genext2fs and use mkfs.ext2/3/4 instead.
But this is not ready yet, is it?
Quoted 2 lines
For example, I believe mkfs.ext2/3/4 will automatically chose a sane default block size depending on the filesystem size.
And even if it does, ther are stil cases where one wants to override the auto-calculated size.
So, even when we switch the backend that generates the filesystem, we'd still want to have those options, I believe.
Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
