Public bug reported: Binary package hint: e2fsprogs
Altough the porpouse of mkfs and co. is clear, sometimes non-english speakers suffer a confusion with the similities of "mkfs" and "fsck" (phonetically). Me myself not been a newbie have made the mistake of executing mkfs instead os fsck a couple of times :( I'd be nice if mkfs and friends provide an "Are you sure?" prompt before doing all the work. I'll attach a patch for the current gutsy version (1.40.2-1ubuntu1). ** Affects: e2fsprogs (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Ask for confirmation before mkfs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/139792 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
