https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=220288 --- Comment #5 from Artem S. Tashkinov (aros@xxxxxxx) --- (In reply to Andreas Dilger from comment #4) > It is very common in my experience that ext4 filesystems are created on > whole disk devices instead of partitions when run on servers, in order to > ensure the filesystem is aligned to the start on the disk and with RAID > stripes. Not to mention that you can mke2fs /tmp/random.file and then e2fsck /tmp/random.file or even use a loop device with no number. -- You may reply to this email to add a comment.
