I don't think you need to be root. Usually you just need to be root because only root can write to /dev/sd*. > I'll have to write at least a small script for my own use, but it > would be nicer to integrate it into ptxdist.

Adapt please, don't copy. I see no usecase where you need both (ext2 and ext3) images. Use a choise in the config and maybe add ext4 while you're at it: tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index,has_journal <image> e2fsck -yfDC0 <image> (that's what openembedd is doing anyways) Michael -- Pengutronix e.K. | | Industrial Linux Solutions | http://www.pengutronix.de/ | Peiner Str. 6-8, 31137 Hildesheim, Germany | Phone: +49-5121-206917-0 | Amtsgericht Hildesheim, HRA 2686 | Fax: +49-5121-206917-5555 | -- ptxdist mailing list ptxdist@pengutronix.de
