Description Bruno Wolff III 2011-06-29 21:38:43 UTC
Description of problem:
In the following text from the man page:
 1, 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 default
                     Use the new version-1 format superblock.  This has  fewer
                     restrictions.   It can easily be moved between hosts with
                     different endian-ness, and a recovery  operation  can  be
                     checkpointed  and  restarted.  The different sub-versions
                     store  the  superblock  at  different  locations  on  the
                     device,  either  at  the end (for 1.0), at the start (for
                     1.1) or 4K from the start (for 1.2).  "1"  is  equivalent
                     to "1.0".  "default" is equivalent to "1.2".

tt is incorrect that 1 is equivalent to 1.0. It is in fact equivalent to 1.2.
I wanted to use 1.0 for partitions that grub needed to access and I noticed that using -e 1 wasn't doing what I expected based on the man page.
