Creating filesystem with 2441850880 4k blocks and 305233920 inodes

mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda222
mke2fs 1.44.1 (24-Mar-2018)
Found a dos partition table in /dev/sda222
Proceed anyway? (y,N) y
mkfs.ext4: inode_size (128) * inodes_count (0) too big for a filesystem with 0 blocks, specify higher inode_ratio (-i) or lower inode count (-N).

Review your partition table (fdisk -l /dev/sda222), read https://www.beinfog.com/systems/dont-try-to-create-file-system-on-an-extended-partition/


mkfs.ext4 -S
-S  Write superblock and group descriptors only.


mkfs.ext4 -F /path/to/yourfile
-F force mke2fs to create a filesystem, even if the specified device is not a partition on a block special device, or if other parameters do not make sense. In order to force mke2fs to create a filesystem even if the filesystem appears to be in use or is mounted (a truly dangerous thing to do), this option must be specified twice. (from man page)

Activities

  1. Create an ext4 filesystem using mkfs.ext4 command
  2. Learn about bytes per inode ratio: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ext4#Bytes-per-inode_ratio
  3. resize2fs online and ext4 filesystem
  4. Learn about Lazy initialization feature of ext4: https://www.thomas-krenn.com/en/wiki/Ext4_Filesystem#Lazy_Initialization and how to avoid it mkfs.ext4 -E lazy_itable_init=0,lazy_journal_init=0 /dev/mapper/fc-device
