[Libguestfs] PATCH: daemon mkfs.c Add option "inode" for setting -I flag on mkfs_opts command
Hello,
Patch implements inode option to mkfs_opts command.
This is needed because older versions of grub(for example in centos)
do not understand filesystems created with newer version of e2fsprogs.
By default in e2fsprogs 1.4+ creates partitions with 256 bit inode
size, and grub expect 128 bit size.
Usage:
$ guestfish
<fs> add-drive test.img 1G #for small images by default used 128
bit
<fs> run
<fs> part-disk /dev/vda mbr
<fs> mkfs ext3 /dev/vda1
<fs> tune2fs-l /dev/vda1 | grep "Inode size"
Inode size: 256
<fs> mkfs-opts ext3 /dev/vda1 inode:128
<fs> tune2fs-l /dev/vda1 | grep "Inode size"
Inode size: 128
