Hello, I'm using mkfs.ext4 in Yocto using option to create image from existing folder (-d option) Is there any reason to set destination inode mode "appending permissions" istead of just set them as they are in the original inode? see line 119 on https://github.com/tytso/e2fsprogs/blob/master/misc/create_inode.c inode.i_mode |= st->st_mode; Doing so, under Yocto, some permissions are not the intended one. In other words, why not set permissions like this: inode.i_mode = st->st_mode; BR, Alessio
