Description deco33000 2025-02-16 09:56:17 UTC

Hi,
Right now it's impossible to achieve the equivalent of mkfs.ext4 -E lazy_itable_init=0,lazy_journal_init=0 <partition> in the gui.

Could we add these options when creating the partition ? It avoids the ext4 lazy initialization of the disk.

Thanks

Hmm, right now kpmcore library supports optional "Features" and we have some of them https://invent.kde.org/system/kpmcore/-/blob/master/src/fs/ext2.cpp?ref_type=heads#L53

lazy_itable_init and lazy_journal_init are not there but we could easily add them.

The problem for now is that it " File system Features" not exposed in GUI in partitionmanager itself.

I've added those two features to ext2.cpp though for now that is not exposed yet in partition manager UI.
