Message-Id: <1399338133-21373-1-git-send-email-tytso@mit.edu> Date: Mon, 5 May 2014 21:02:11 -0400 From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@....edu> To: Ext4 Developers List <linux-ext4@...r.kernel.org> Cc: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@....edu> Subject: [PATCH -v2 1/3] mke2fs: print a message when creating a regular file We've added the ability to automatically recreate a file if it doesn't exist prior to creating the file system, since this is often used (for example) when managing file system images for use in virtual machines. We should at least notify the user that this is going on to avoid surprises in the case of misspelled device/file names.
