I'm running OpenSuSE 13.1 on an ASUS i7 x86_64 laptop.
I want to reformat one of my encrypted XFS partitions with the additional option -n version=ci but the YaST partitioner does not allow me to enter miscellaneous XFS options while formatting a partition.
When I format this partition with the YaST partitioner it takes about 10 seconds; when I try (as root) to use the mkfs command it never completes. I have tried various different ways:
None of these completes. ^C does not terminate them. atop shows no I/O activity on the drive. Only these two messages appear when mkfs starts:
Can anyone explain what I'm doing wrong? I have pored over both the mkfs and mkfs.xfs man pages and if the answer is there, I can't see it.
