Hi Geert, do you happen to have an affs disk image, by any chance? I need to make few changes in the affs file-system in the linux kernel but and I would like to test them. But unfortunately, I was not able to find any working way of formatting my dist to affs. CCing the mailing list in case someone else could help. Thanks! -- -- Best Regards, Artem Bityutskiy

Hi, thanks, I tried it and it worked neither for files nor for block device nodes, I do not know why. But I've found a different mkfs.affs which actually works.

But I've found a different mkfs.affs Strange. I did try it yesterday (without mounting the result, though). Did you pass a volume name as second parameter? > which actually works. Thanks! OK.
