Hello Thanks for the patch. But I do not think that should be a good idea to change the defaults. Maybe for your case can be a good idea to make another custom.fs.sfs for this structure, and use a custom mke2fs.conf. I guess XFS will fit much better for your case, with defaults. Warning: the patch introduced a cosmethical change, that I want to keep. (ext2 vs ext3) -- Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi \cos^2\alpha + \sin^2\alpha = 1
