The man page for mkfs.ext4 describes an
optional command line parameter, -f, to
specify fragment size. However, this option was removed when
support for creating bigalloc file systems was added. Attempts
to create an ext4 file system using the
mkfs.ext4 command in conjunction with this
option may result in an error notifying the user of an invalid
option. (Bug ID 25512202)
