Subject: [PATCH 3/8][e2fsprogs] add new -D <desc-size> option to mkfs
From: Valerie Clement <valerie.clement@...l.net>
This patch adds a new option -D <descriptor-size> to mkfs to allow creating
ext4 filesystems with larger group descriptor size.
By default, the group descriptor size is 32 bytes.
To support 64-bit physical block numbers and thus to be able to use filesystems
> 16TB, the group descriptor size must be increased to 64 bytes.
Use mkfs -t ext4 -D 64 to create an ext4 filesystem with 64-byte group
descriptor size. This set the EXT4_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_64BIT flag on device.
The descriptor size is limited to a power-of-two value and to the block size.
Signed-off-by: Valerie Clement <valerie.clement@...l.net>
