      From: lars@beagle-ears.com              As my system rebuild progresses, I have made some interesting       discoveries.              1) Although I did not find it anywhere in the documentation        I looked through, the "Fold" attribute is self propagating.        It would have been very difficult to work with if it hadn't,        but I worried, until one of you guys assured me this was        the case. So I just needed to set it in the root directory.        As the documentation say, the directory must be empty for        the "chattr" command to do its magic; to my surprise, that        means you must delete the "lost+found" directory created by        "mkfs.ext4" command first.       2) As I understand it, "fsck" depends on "lost+found" having a        specific inode number, that means you cannot just get it back        by a simple "mkdir" - that functiionality is lost forever        in a casefolded ext4.        Given the above, I am puzzled why "mkfs.ext4" did not implement        an option to set the bit in the root directory when you create        a fold-enabled volume.              --       Lars Poulsen - an old geek in Santa Barbara, California              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
