From 1bb14a22b5ea31ce4b9b5d9d8c7e75f02fad77ee Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Sandeen Date: Thu, 1 Apr 2010 14:26:30 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] mke2fs: be explicit if external journal device is not found This for RH bug #572935 - RFE: Misleading error message from mke2fs -J option If the journal device UUID is typo'd or otherwise not found, the error message looks like it's a usage() type of problem. It'd be helpful to explicitly say that the device requested could not be found.
