[Pkg-vsquare-devel] Bug#803628: fuseext2: Please add an "offset" option

[Celelibi]

Package: fuseext2
Version: 0.4-1.1
Severity: wishlist

Dear maintainer,

mke2fs supports an "offset" extended option which allow to create a file
system in the partition of a virtual disk. However it currently can't be
mounted with fuseext2.

Here is an example of how it could work :

# Create a disk image of 10MB
qemu-img create -f raw testing.img 10M

# Create a partition table and two partitions
parted -s testing.img mklabel gpt
parted -s -a none testing.img mkpart ESP fat32 0 4M
parted -s -a none testing.img mkpart linux ext4 4M 10M

# Create the ext file system
mke2fs -E offset=4000256 testing.img 6316k

# Mount it using fuseext2
mount.fuseext2 -o offset=4000256 testing.img mount


Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Celelibi
