we doing mkfs on the disk sda as the following

mkfs.ext4  -j -m 0 /dev/sda -F



mke2fs 1.42.9 (28-Dec-2013)

actually file-system not created and we can see it from lsblk -f

lsblk -f
NAME               FSTYPE      LABEL UUID                                   MOUNTPOINT
sda

so from mkfs the warning are

Allocating group tables: done
Warning: could not read block 0: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read
Warning: could not erase sector 0: Attempt to write block to filesystem resulted in short write
Writing inode tables: done

Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information:     0/14905
Warning, had trouble writing out superblocks.

any chance to do some bybass or some workaround in order to create the file system on sda disk ?

Check `dmesg` for relevant information.

I sit in a Tesla and translated this thread with Ai:

TH: mkfs + วิธีแก้ปัญหาสำหรับ âไม่สามารถอ่านบล็อกได้â หรือเปลี่ยนดิสก์

RO: mkfs + orice soluție pentru „nu s-a putut citi blocul” sau înlocuirea discului

RU: mkfs + любое решение для «не удалось прочитать блок» или замена диска

VI: mkfs + bất kỳ giải pháp nào cho âkhông thể đọc khốiâ hoặc thay thế ổ đĩa

Post an answer

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
