Hi guys!
How to fix it?
To format a partition, you have to designate the partion also.
So for example if your partition is sda1, it will be something like this.
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1
If you want to know what your drive is, use fdisk -l
root@turris:~# mkfs.ext /dev/sda2
-ash: mkfs.ext: not found
I already have partitions:
Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
/dev/sda1 2048 41945087 41943040 20G 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda2 41945088 251660287 209715200 100G 83 Linux
/dev/sda3 251660288 754976767 503316480 240G 83 Linux
/dev/sda4 754976768 976773167 221796400 105.8G 83 Linux
type mkfs and then hit TAB, there you will see what mkfs commands are availaible. See the example, here…
root@K-Router:~# mkf
mkfifo mkfs.btrfs mkfs.ext2 mkfs.ext3 mkfs.ext4 mkfs.fat mkfs.hfs mkfs.hfsplus mkfs.msdos mkfs.vfat mkfs.xfs
mkfs stands for “Make FileSystem”. Then you will get after the dot (.) the filesystem you can choose from. I myself use ext4 with my LXC partition on my mSata disk.
root@turris:/sbin# mkf
mkfifo mkfs.btrfs
done!
I see, you have not installed the other addons.
Type first “opkg update”
Then type “opkg install kmod-fs-ext4”
This will install the ext4 “addon” to use.
Already tried this way
root@turris:~# opkg install kmod-fs-ext4
Package kmod-fs-ext4 (4.4.150+1-1-0a333a8e606ab056173befac424900d2-1) installed in root is up to date.
root@turris:~# mkf
mkfifo mkfs.btrfs
Can you put the output of this command
cat /etc/turris-versionroot@turris:~# cat /etc/turris-version
3.10.5
Can you go to this folder
cd usr/sbin/
and type ls. Give the output of it
root@turris:~# cd /sbin
root@turris:/sbin# ls

That is strange. Oke, can you do a
opkg remove kmod-fs-ext4Then try to opkg update
Then again try to opkg install kmod-fs-ext4
Done:
Configuring kmod-fs-ext4.
root@turris:/# mkf
mkfifo mkfs.btrfs
You could try to wget the package, then locally install the package. But where to get those packages,
Download locally by using
opkg download mkf-fs-ext4
with it, install using opkg install kmod-fs-ext4_4.4.150\+1-1-0a333a8e606ab056173befac424900d2-1_mvebu.ipk
With that, i would also recommend you get the attention of a admin, as this looks rather like a bug or something.
Tried:
root@turris:/# opkg download mkf-fs-ext4
Collected errors:
- opkg_download_cmd: Cannot find package mkf-fs-ext4.
Sorry, meant to say opkg download kmod-fs-ext4
Still the same result:
root@turris:/# mkf
mkfifo mkfs.btrfs
As far as you are doing, it install it, but somehow nothing is put in that directory. Are the permissions oke? With that command you can see what permissions it has on the directory.
