mkfs.ext4: Invalid argument while setting blocksize; too small for device

On artix linux openrc btw

Probably the specified combination of inodes, iratio, blocksize and total size of the device makes no sense.

mpotane commented 3 years ago

Using only 1 device pointing to zram0, I think that most linux distro uses /var/tmp.

I am having the exact same problem here too, unfortunately. How was this problem fixed @mpotane @vaeth ??? My device has both /tmp and /var/tmp if that helps?? I am on Alpine Linux (latest build).

It is up to you to specify the blocksize or other parameters appropriately in the configuration. The script is only a helper to pass these parameters and intentionally does noi checking.
