We were complaining with a confusing error message if the user tried to specify
a check interval larger than a 365 days. It's probably a bad idea if the user wants to
do this, but it's not worth it to complain.

The exlcusive device safety check that was added inadvertently broke
e2fsck -cc and mke2fs -cc since e2fsck and mke2fs hold the device
in exclusive access when badblocks is run. So we add a private option
to badblocks, -X, which is passed by e2fsck and mke2fs to badblocks
to indicate that it is OK to skip the EXT2_MF_BUSY checks.

This feature is initially intended for testing purposes; it allows an
ext2/ext3 developer to create very large filesystems using sparse files
where most of the block groups are not initialized and so do not require
much disk space. Eventually it could be used as a way of speeding up
mke2fs and e2fsck for large filesystem, but that would be best done by
adding an RO_COMPAT extension to the filesystem to allow the inode table
to be lazily initialized on a per-block basis, instead of being entirely initialized
or entirely unused on a per-blockgroup basis.

Currently filefrag uses signed int for block numbers, thus it reporting
corrupted block number for a file on a more than 8TB ext3. The following
trivial patch replace the signed int type block number with "unsigned
long type.

Fixed a bug caused by using an insufficiently larger counter field so
that mklost+found would work properly on filesystems with larger block
sizes.
