To fix this bug, 2 new options were introduced: ---squash-rino-perm which preserves the old behavior and --nosquash-rino-perm -which makes mkfs.ubifs use the right permissions for the root -inode. - -For a while (releases 1.4.0-1.4.3) --squash-rino-perm was the default, and if -neither --squash-rino-perm nor --nosquash-rino-perm were used, -mkfs.ubifs printed a warning. This was introduced in mtd-utils-1.4.0 (13 Sep 2010). - -Now we have removed a warning and made --nosquash-rino-perm to be the -default. Also, both options are declared deprecated, so users should try -to stop using them. - -The further step is to remove both of them. - ---------------------------- |
