Leon, All,

Thanks the report. I can confirm indeed that e2fsprogs 1.46.3 now requirtes
that
the file where to generate the filesystem must pre-exist. This is a regression
in
2fsprogs itself.; indeed, I've tested 1.46.2 and 1.46.4, and both work without
the touch.

And indeed, the e2fsprogs commit53464654bd33 (mke2fs: fix creating a file
system
image w/o a pre-existing file) states:

    By deferring the call to check_plausible() in commit
    942b00cb9d2f ("mke2fs: do not warn about a pre-existing partition
    table when using a non-zero offset") this behaviour was broken.

I'll try to see if we can cook up a backport of that commit for the 2021.08.x
branch. For master, a bump to 1.46.4 will fix the issue.

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
