Just to clarify, this bug is to add support for creating/modifying ext partitions on poky-tiny, this will be added via busybox.

While doing this I will also check what other functionality should or may be added to poky-tiny.

Jon, Ross wants to know if this is redundant now.

Moved en masse from 4.2 to 4.3 by Randy.
Comment 4 Ross Burton 2024-01-18 16:58:52 UTC
As per https://busybox.net/downloads/BusyBox.html, busybox doesn't have mkfs.ext so this isn't possible.
