Thanks kp. Now I understand what Andrew meant! -r refers to the number of directory entries permitted (like inodes, I guess). From the man page:
-r root-dir-entries Select the number of entries available in the root directory. The default is 112 or 224 for floppies and 512 for hard disks. From memory I would have expected 512 to be sufficient, but maybe not… davidMbrooke > On 8 Apr 2016, at 13:27, kp kirchdoerfer <kap...@users.sourceforge.net> wrote: > > Am Freitag, 8.
