When using the command from the wiki
The block size appears to be default to 4k ???
mkfs.ext3 -L usbdisk1 /dev/sda1
mke2fs 1.35 (28-Feb-2004)
Filesystem label=usbdisk1
OS type: Linux
Block size=4096 (log=2)

4889248 inodes, 9769520 blocks
488476 blocks (5.00%) reserved for the super user
First data block=0
Maximum filesystem blocks=12582912
299 block groups
32768 blocks per group, 32768 fragments per group
16352 inodes per group
Superblock backups stored on blocks:
32768, 98304, 163840, 229376, 294912, 819200, 884736, 1605632, 2654208,
4096000, 7962624
Do I need to change something, why is SME formating As 4k block size if the default is suppose to be 1k as shown in the wiki ?
Is this ok for external usb backup drive ? what is normal what should it be ? etc?
It appears to be working ok, with 4k block size, but I don't know enough about this subject to know if this will create any problems for me later, or if I should figure out how to reformat to 1k block size according to what the wiki tells me it should default to.
