* Is there anyway to Delete existing EXT filesyste ? @ 2015-04-03 19:23 Alireza Haghdoost 2015-04-03 21:45 ` Martin Steigerwald 0 siblings, 1 reply; 2+ messages in thread From: Alireza Haghdoost @ 2015-04-03 19:23 UTC (permalink / raw) To: Linux Filesystem Development List Is there any way to delete existing ext4 file system and make the volume un-mountable.
