ext4-mkfs

Pure Rust library for creating ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystems, powered by lwext4.

Features

• Zero runtime dependencies (lwext4 statically linked)
• Support for ext2, ext3, and ext4 filesystems
• Configurable block size, volume label, UUID, journaling
• Generic BlockDevice trait for custom backends
• Built-in IoBlockDevice for files and memory buffers

Usage

use ext4_mkfs::{mkfs, MkfsConfig, IoBlockDevice, FsType};
use std::fs::OpenOptions;

let file = OpenOptions::new()
    .read(true)
    .write(true)
    .open("disk.img")?;

let device = IoBlockDevice::new(file, 512, 100 * 1024 * 1024);

mkfs(device, MkfsConfig::new()
    .fs_type(FsType::Ext4)
    .block_size(4096)
    .label("my_volume"))?;
