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.

[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.

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.

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.
tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Change user interface
so that -J is used to specify journal options, and -j is used to
request creation of a journal using default values. (This is a UI
change, but we haven't done a formal release, and it makes things much
more consistent with the rest of the options out there.)
tune2fs.c: Add support for removing a filesystem from an external
journal; we correctly remove the filesystem UUID from the external
journal's filesystem list.
mke2fs.c: Add new filesystem types, largefile and largefile4, for
those filesystems whose average inode size is 1MB and 4MB,
respectively. Allow the inode ratio specified to be has high as 4MB.
Make the s_max_mount_count vary between 20 and 40, to avoid needing to
check all of the filesystems at the same time. Add some random jitter
to the s_max_mount_count value so that we avoid checking all of the
filesystems at the same time when we reboot.
