Missing mkfs.ext4 on Asuswrt-Merlin AC RT-5300?

[Taylorrr]

Hello,

I am running an AC RT-5300 with the lastest and great version of Asuswrt-Merlin (384.4_2).

I was under the impression that this should support mkfs.ext4:

(Apologies for the pastbin link, but forum's use of CloudFlare seems to block any posts that have code like things in them.)

The router identifies as ARM AFAICT:

Am I missing something? Is this something I need to install? I like the idea of running a journaled filesystem for more robust recovery from unclean/unexpected shutdowns.

Cheers,

Try

mke2fs -t ext4 .......

Ah... that worked like a charm!

I'm seeing "extent" and "has_journal" when I grep "features" from tunefs -l /dev/sda1

Thanks,
