Option specifiers must be escaped so the are printed as minus signs
(U+002D) instead of hyphens (U+2010). Hence "mke2fs -t ext4" must be
expressed as "mke2fs \-t ext4" instead.

Also add the missing argument of the -M option, replace the mistaken
[libdefaults] section header with [defaults], and slightly rephrase
two or three sentences.

Change the way we allocate bitmaps and inode tables if the FLEX_BG
feature is used at mke2fs time. It places calculates a new offset for
bitmaps and inode table base on the number of groups that the user
wishes to pack together using the new "-G" option. Creating a
filesystem with 64 block groups in a flex group can be done by:
mke2fs -j -I 256 -O flex_bg -G 32 /dev/sdX

Instead of using -O lazy_bg,uninit_bg as the way of requesting that
the inode table be lazy unitialized, use the parameter
lazy_itable_init, which can either be set via mke2fs's -E option, or
via /etc/mke2fs.conf.
Also fix some random problems in mke2fs's man page, including
documenting the extent feature, which had been missing.

Allow the old name of uninit_groups when converting feature names for
backwards compatibility for scripts running mke2fs and tune2fs.

Provide mke2fs with a much more sophisticated system for controlling
configuration parameters of a newly created filesystem based on a
split filesystem and usage type system. The -t option to mke2fs was a
deprecated alias to -c; it now specifies a filesystem type (ext2,
ext3, ext4, etc.), while the -T option can now be a comma separated
usage list.

Previously we just let the kernel and e2fsck do this automatically,
but e2fsck will no longer automatically clear the large_file feature.
It still isn't really necessary to worry about this feature flag
explicitly, but some users seem to care.

The test_fs flag is an "ok to be used with test kernel code" flag. It
makes it easier for us to determine whether a filesystem should be
mounted using ext4 or not.

Disambiguate the use of "-F" (force) flag for mke2fs to avoid dangerous
situations. The use of -F is needed for regular backing files and
for filesystems on whole block devices. It should NOT be confused
with mke2fs on an apparently-mounted or in-use filesystem.

This patch allows "inode_size" to be specified in the mke2fs.conf file,
and always compiles in the "-I" option. In addition, it disallows
specifying the inode size on rev 0 filesystems, though I don't think
this was much of a danger anyways.
Clean up dead lines in ext2fs.h.

using the -c option, and to discouraging running badblocks separately,
since users tend to forget to set the blocksize when running
badblocks.
function in get_device_by_label.c to allow the use of
UUID= or LABEL= when creating filesystems which use external
journal dev (e.g. mke2fs -J device=LABEL=<journal_label>).
tune2fs.c: Use superblock s_journal_uuid to locate an external
journal device instead of s_journal_dev when removing it.
Allow opening journal devices to set the label and UUID
in the ext2 superblock.
mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Free journal_device after use, as it is
malloc'd in interpret spec.
Clarify some of the Changelog entries.
ChangeLog, fsck.8.in, mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in:
fsck.8.in, mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other
clarifications suggested by Andreas Dilger.
ChangeLog, tune2fs.c:
tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Clean up some printf messages.
dumpe2fs.c (main): Add new flag, -i, which will allow dumpe2fs to dump
out the filesystem statistics from an ext2 image file.
Many files:
e2image.8.in: New manual page
badblocks.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in mklost+found.8.in,
tune2fs.8.in: Update location of e2fsprogs to be
http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net.
ke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Change man paegs to document that the
journal must be bewteen 1024 and 10,240 file system blocks.
mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Change to use figure_journal_size()
util.c, util.h (figure_journal_size): Change journal_default_size into
routine which also converts the requested journal size into filesystem
blocks and does bounds checking to make sure the journal is sized
reasonably. Renamed function to journal_default_size.
parse_journal_opts): Remove bounds check for the journal size, since
this is now done in figure_journal_size, and based on the number of
filesystem blocks, as opposed to using the absolute size of the
journal.
