I use mkfs.ocfs2 fine with my busybox system, but I'v also used any other mkfs.* as they usually are not part of busybox. Simply use buildroot, buildroot2 or open embedded to build any filesystem utility. Busybox is neither an operating system nor a linux distribution. It's "just" a set of small implementations for the most basic utilities you might need for your embedded system. IIRC there were somewhat working versions of e2fs utils integrated into busybox. OTOH compiling a "full" version of e2fs-utils or dosfs-utils will not add a great deal of bytes to your system. As you want to be able to create a filesystem you're probabbly not triing to get everything cramped into 2M of flash. -- /"\ Goetz Bock at blacknet dot de -- secure mobile Linux everNETting \ / (c) 2007 Creative Commons, Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0 de X [ 1.
