and mounting/unmounting the root filesystem during the initrd
process. (Addresses Debian Bug #247775)

In lib/blkid/getsize.c, include <sys/disk.h> if present since
this is where the DIOCGMEDIASIZE ioctl is defined on FreeBSD.

tune2fs to use the test I/O manager.
The test I/O manager has been changed to not do anything extra by
default, unless the TEST_IO_FLAGS and/or TEST_IO_BLOCK environment
variables are set, which controls what I/O operations are logged and
a block number to watch, respectively. The log messages are sent to
stderr by default, unless a filename is specified via the
TEST_IO_LOGFILE environment variable.
Disable certain tests that depend on the byteswapping functions
being present so that "make check" succeeds even if --disable-swapfs
is passed to the configure script.
The iterate_on_dir function in libe2p has been changed to be more
general, so it relies less on the layout of struct dirent. We also
make sure the errno returned by the ioctl is returned by
fgetversion() and fsetversion().
that it will compile on modern systems. The top-level makefile does not recurse
into the ext2ed directory for now, pending determination of whether the original
author is still maintaining ext2ed.
The documentation files have been renamed to remove the version from the filename.
In addition, the SGML files have been converted from LinuxDoc to DocBook.
The way root_bindir, root_sbindir, and root_libdir have been changed so that
if root_prefix is not set, the values set by the configure command-line options to
set the directory names using --bindir, --sbindir, --libdir will affect the
root_bindir, et.al Makefile variables.
configure.in: Add --disable-resizer, --disable-imager, and
--disable-debugfs switches, which allow people who are building boot
floppies to build a very restricted e2fsprogs distribution. Note:
these functions limit the functions in the shared library, so beware!
Makefile.in, ChangeLog:
Makefile.in: Don't recurse into debugfs and resize subdirectory if
--disable-debugfs or --disable-resizer is given as a configuration
option.
ChangeLog, Makefile.in:
Makefile.in: Don't build e2image if --disable-imager is specified to
configure.
configure.in: Add new switch, --disable-swapfs which disables support
of byte-swapping old filesystems. Add new test, AC_C_BIGENDIAN, which
sets WORDS_BIGENDIAN on big-endian machines. Change handling of
--with-ccopts so that if set, the default CFLAGS is suppressed.
