Increase EXT3 format speed.

[Stephane Cerveau <scerveau@xxxxxxxx>]

Dear all,

 

On certain USB MSC dongle, the mkfs.ext3 can take around 3 min for 4GB. It seems that the process is locked in sync function. Do you know how I could increase the speed of this process?

With mkfs.ext4 it’s about 1 min to format it …
