Description Timothy Asir 2015-01-08 16:16:53 UTC

Description of problem:
Blivet doesn't support formatting options for xfs.
It's support formatting a device into xfs. However it doesn't 
support xfs formatting with options like inode size, su, sw and so on.

Additional info:
mkfs -t xfs -f -K -i size=512 -d sw su -n size device

Comment 1 Brian Lane 2015-01-08 17:16:16 UTC

Format options can be passed down to the mkfs call for all filesystems by adding options="fee fi fo fum" to the create() call.

Comment 2 David Lehman 2015-01-08 18:40:21 UTC

Unfortunately, if we're encouraging people to use the full action-oriented model we need to provide a way to specify those options such that they get used when the formatting is driven by an ActionCreateFormat. It's not at all difficult -- we just need to add something akin to mountopts to override the default mkfs args.

Patch sent to upstream

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2015-05-29 13:35:24 UTC

This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '20'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 5 Jan Kurik 2015-07-15 14:35:23 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 23 development cycle.
Changing version to '23'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 23 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 23 End Of Life. Thank you.)
