Fwd: options in reiser4

Fwd: options in reiser4

[Mettavihari D]

Greetings,

I have been using reiserfs for several years and I have been happy
with the Filesystem

One thing that has been very useful in the fs is
Options:
  -B | --badblocks file            store all bad blocks given in file on the fs

I today installed reiser4 to see how the new reiser4 was, however I did not find
Options:
  -B | --badblocks file            store all bad blocks given in file on the fs

This is what -h give me
Usage: mkfs.reiser4 [ options ] FILE1 FILE2 ... [ size[K|M|G] ]
Mkfs options:
  -s, --lost-found              forces mkfs to create lost+found
                                directory.
  -b, --block-size N            block size, 4096 by default, other
                                are not supported at the moment.
  -U, --uuid UUID               universally unique identifier.
  -L, --label LABEL             volume label lets to mount
                                filesystem by its label.
Plugins options:
  -p, --print-profile           prints the plugin profile.
  -l, --print-plugins           prints all known plugins.
  -o, --override TYPE=PLUGIN    overrides the default plugin of the type
                                "TYPE" by the plugin "PLUGIN" in the
                                profile.
Common options:
  -?, -h, --help                prints program usage.
  -V, --version                 prints current version.
  -y, --yes                     assumes an answer 'yes' to all questions.
  -f, --force                   makes mkfs to use whole disk, not
                                block device or mounted partition.
root@edu-SVE1713C5E:/root#

Please let me know if this option is available or not in the new version.

Hello.

Badblocks are unsupported in Reiser4 (as well as resizing the volume).

Thanks,
Edward.

Probably for the same reason it's not supported for other filesystems as 
well:
