Hello,
we encountered a bug in the parameter parsing of mkfs after c&p of a wrongly
written wiki article.
So
$ mkfs.ext4 -Llabel /dev/device
and
$ mkfs.ext4 -L label /dev/device
work as expected.
$ mkfs ext4 -Llabel /dev/device # note the missing "."
reports correctly "invalid blocks '/dev/device' on device 'ext4'" after
invoking mkfs.ext2 as the default mkfs.
But when you enter the same wrong command line with an additional space in the
label like
$ mkfs ext4 -L label /dev/device
it formats /dev/device with an ext2 filesystem and the label "label".
Yours
Marcel
