setExt3Options in fsset.py tunes a few things: rc = iutil.execWithRedirect("tune2fs", ["-c0", "-i0", "-Odir_index", "-ouser_xattr,acl", devicePath], stdout = "/dev/tty5", stderr = "/dev/tty5", searchPath = 1) -Odir_index is no longer necessary; it's part of the defaults in the binary and mke2fs.conf: const char *mke2fs_default_profile = "[defaults]\n" " base_features = sparse_super,filetype,resize_inode,dir_index\n" " blocksize = 4096\n" " inode_ratio = 8192\n" "\n" .... Not a big deal but no need to have redundant cruft in there. Also, not sure why user_xattr & acl aren't default in ext3, but they're not AFAICT so I guess they can stay here.... Thanks, -Eric
