我遇到了一个奇怪的问题，mkfs.ext4 无法在临时文件支持的循环设备上工作。
tmp_file="$(mktemp)"
fallocate -l 8M "$tmp_file"
loop="$(losetup --show -f "$tmp_file")"
mkfs.ext4 "$loop"
我也尝试dd if=/dev/zero过truncate。相同的结果。荒谬的是，故障不会传播到应用程序层。 mkfs 程序以 0 退出，但输出文件系统基本上已损坏。这可能与缓冲/延迟 io 有关。
难道我不被允许这样做吗？或者这是一个错误？我可能可以通过阅读内核代码来进一步调查，但我想先听听专家的意见。
更新 哎呀。对不起。内核版本：5.7.10-201.fc32.x86_64

就像我说的，mkfs 应该成功运行。错误是无声的。
答案1
我刚刚遇到了我认为是同样的问题。我怀疑您本身不是 mktemp，但您的 /tmp 是 tmpfs 文件系统。显然tmpfs 不支持FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE。有趣的是，您可以在 tmpfs 挂载上的文件上运行 mkfs.ext4 而不会出现问题。但是，当它是由同一 tmpfs 上的文件支持的循环设备时，就会出现问题。
您应该能够通过使用设置支持零范围（大多数标准范围）的文件系统上的路径的-p选项来解决此问题。mktempTMPDIR
