The following patch is a work in progress, but I'm sending it out so
folks can take a look at it and comment on the general approach.
What this does is change how mke2fs -T works so it can take a comma
separated list, so you can do things like this:
mke2fs -T ext4,small,news
(which probably doesn't make any sense :-)
This makes it easier for us to specify what the behaviour of mke2fs is
via mke2fs.conf, and mke2fs will default the size and filesystem types
based on contextual hints (i.e., if the user calls mke2fs via
/sbin/mkfs.ext4, or if the -j flag is requested to request a journal,
etc.).
It's pretty flexible in allowing distirbutions and system administrtors
to control the behaviour of mke2fs via the config file, so that we
aren't hardcoding policy.
There are still a lot of debugging printfs in the code, which may be
helpful in seeing how this works. BTW, This patch is based on some
recently committed changes which allows mke2fs to accept "mke2fs -O
extents", so if you want to actually compile and play with it you'll
probably want to pull the latest master or next branch from git and then
apply this patch against that.
