Description Daniel Wang 2016-10-25 23:23:40 UTC
A commit prior to e2fsprogs 1.43 release accidentally removed a mke2fs.conf flag and resulted in mke2fs becoming very slow (takes 5 minutes to format a 1.5TB disk as opposed to <1 minute).

There has been a fix upstream, and I propose that we import it util next e2fsprogs release.

    sys-fs/e2fsprogs: Revbump to add back uninit_bg option (bug #598100).

    This option was accidentally removed in the 1.43 development cycle which
    caused mke2fs to take a very long time because it initialized all of the
    block group metadata.
    Committing straight to stable where 1.43.3-r0 was stable.
