Formating disk



Hi,

I am going to create ext3 file system to an external USB HDD for being
used as an backup storage. I am not clear if it is necessary to
reserve super user blocks (5% by default), could you please advise? If
the super user block is not needed, I guess I should use following
command, is it correct?

$ /sbin/mke2fs -m 0 -j /dev/sda1

Thank you.

Kind Regards,

Jupiter
