Recently, I bought 2 new Kingston Exodia 256 GB USB sticks
from Canada Computers, the store in Toronto I've used for 25 yr .
With many previous new USB sticks of sizes <= 128 GB
& which came with a VFat filesystem,
I simply repartitioned them using Fdisk, which created a Linux
partition
& then used 'mke2fs' to format them with an Ext2 filesystem.
This time, something has gone wrong :
root:538 ~> mke2fs /dev/sdb1
mke2fs 1.47.0 (5-Feb-2023)

Are you posting to this group by the mailing list address
or by making a usenet post ? -- it would seem odd that it suggests
you send your message to the mailing list address,
if that is what you did in the first place.
I suspect the bofh admins might be interested about the possible breakage, but also that others will do that, if actually necessary.
I suspect the message might actually be legitimate.
I access this group as a mailing list,
but I also read usenet using Pan as a newsreader
and recognize bofh.it as a usenet server
that may well be where the gateway between this mailing list
and the linked usenet group happens.
I access usenet from eternalseptember.org
and bofh gets mentioned occasionally in their support groups.
I also just looked at linux.gentoo.users
and your message above is already posted there,
so it looks like the "administrative reasons" have been resolved.

Are you posting to this group by the mailing list addressbreakage,

if that is what you did in the first place.
I suspect the bofh admins might be interested about the possible
but also that others will do that, if actually necessary.
As always since 2003,
I posted to 'gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org (Gentoo User)' using Mutt.
I suspect the message might actually be legitimate.
I access this group as a mailing list,
but I also read usenet using Pan as a newsreader
and recognize bofh.it as a usenet server

I also just looked at linux.gentoo.users
and your message above is already posted there,
so it looks like the "administrative reasons" have been resolved.
I've never heard of such a news group & didn't even know they still existed.
I'm not sure I want any of my e-mails forwarded to another address by
a bot,
which could lead to all sorts of nasty results. Certainly,
Gentoo should guarantee that nothing in its list software does such a thing.
I hope someone else can see that it's fixed :
I didn't cause it & don't feel like doing work to fix it.
