Edit->'File System" may alter the type of filesystem used to make the root The Filesystem Box (Edit->'File System") is the control center for access to

created on a loop device, some For normal users it defaults to genext2fs, and for root, mke2fs.&nbsp;&nbsp;
filesystem types may complain or not be created at all.&nbsp;&nbsp;If there If a normal

genext2fs.&nbsp;&nbsp;The filesystem type defaults to genext2fs for normal UML Exclusively is turned on, and mke2fs is assumed, otherwise it is off
users.</p> and genext2fs is used.&nbsp;&nbsp;
UML Exclusively is off by
default for root, and allows root to create filesystem on a loop device, but
normal users don't have loop device access so genext2fs is used instead to
create a UID/GID 0 fs.&nbsp;&nbsp;Both types of users can turn this button on
at any time regardless of the filesystem size, and assuming they provide a
filesystem command suppored by the root_fs helper; however, normal users
should keep this on when the filesystem
size is greater than 8192k.&nbsp;&nbsp;Preserve Permissions are off by
default for normal
users, and on by default for root, these are good defaults since a normal
user would create a fs with thier own UID/GID if they turned this on.
<p>
The root_fs helper provides support for these commands:<br>
<code>mke2fs mkreiserfs mkcramfs genromfs mkminix</code>
<p>
<u>Notes</u>:
1). All these commands may have options added, but it is uneccessary to add
directory, device, or source options&nbsp;&nbsp;2).
Mkcramfs and genromfs use the filesystem given a
filename in the ARS as the source to produce another filesystem which is
named respectively with _cramfs or _romfs appended to the original name of
this filesystem.&nbsp;&nbsp;
If in doubt
what this all means, watch the verbosity box when the filesystem is created,
and things should become more clear.
