couldn't mount because of unsupported optional features

Hello I am working on Embedded Board which runs on 3.2.0 Linux.

I facing problem while trying to mount SRAM disk

e2fsck 1.42.4 (12-June-2012)
e2fsck: Filesystem revision too high while trying to open /dev/sram
The filesystem revision is apparently too high for this version of e2fsck.
(Or the filesystem superblock is corrupt)


The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>

You could of course use a ramfs which just gets mounted and unmounted
mount -t ramfs ramfs /mnt
the system works it all out for you


I'm on Slackware, so /devs possibly different,
looking through my /dev/directory I have devices ram0 ram1 ---> ram15
but no /dev/sram

mkfs /dev/ram1 8192
8192 is the number of blocks
don't push it to make a particular filesystem type
it will work itself out



as an example
make the file system on /dev/ram1
mount it
see how much space is available



bash-4.2# mkfs /dev/ram1 8192

Actually I want mount Static RAM for which device file is /dev/sram as ext2 filesystem.

ok, it's for a fairly specific device
try talking to these guys
arbsramdrv

when you find a note in the source which says
"may corrupt data"

your on your own

Hi. Are you trying to format on a hardware drive or file?

When I create a ramdisk file (for example a diskette or booteable diskette), i do:
dd if=/dev/zero of=diskette.file bs=1024 count=1440
mkfs.ext2 diskette.file
then, i can mount like:
mount -loop -t ext2 diskette.file /media/floppy

Have a nice day.
