Message-Id: <1399295044-24489-3-git-send-email-tytso@mit.edu> Date: Mon, 5 May 2014 09:04:04 -0400 From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@....edu> To: Ext4 Developers List <linux-ext4@...r.kernel.org> Cc: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@....edu> Subject: [PATCH 3/3] mke2fs: check for a partition table and warn if present This supercedes the "whole disk" check, since it does a better job and there are times when it is quite legitimate to want to use the whole disk.
