<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am working on CIP project and where I am trying to bring CIP system images built reproducibly.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am facing one of the issues [1] with ex4 file systems where it is not reproducibly created.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As suggested in reproducible-build.org/doc [2] I have used `make_ext4fs` to generate but this tool is now outdated and no more maintained in the upstream [3].<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Also, I tried with the latest version of mke2fs but with that also the file systems are not created reproducibly.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Do you have any idea whether mke2fs fixes this in near feature? And is there any other tool that I can use to create Image reproducibly?<o:p></o:p></p>
