This is just a rough cut, due to the blkid header selection

some config-fu to be sure we've got a blkid which has these
calls, but with it in place, we'll finally have automatic
selection of stride/stripe:

# misc/mke2fs -b 4096 /dev/md0 mke2fs 1.41.9 (22-Aug-2009)
Filesystem label=
OS type: Linux
Block size=4096 (log=2)
Fragment size=4096 (log=2)
Stride=16 blocks, Stripe width=32 blocks
...

Cool.

 	printf(_("Fragment size=%u (log=%u)\n"), fs->fragsize,
 		s->s_log_frag_size);
+	printf(_("Stride=%u blocks, Stripe width=%u blocks\n"),
+	       s->s_raid_stride, s->s_raid_stripe_width);

I was going to say we should only print these if non-zero, but for
Pete's sake we print the "Fragment size", which has never been useful,
so I don't see any harm in this.  Maybe "RAID Stride ..."?

Is this in the e2fsprogs blkid code yet?  I'm guessing not, since you

right, not yet. I don't know what the long-term plan is for e2fsprogs blkid; keeping 2 trees in sync seems like a lot of work w/o much gain...

are getting build problems, which means anyone building with something
other than latest & greatest util-linux will also get failures.

Either this needs to be configured in, or you need to upgrade the
blkid included with e2fsprogs to handle this.

Yep, that's why I said "It'll also need some config-fu to be sure we've got a blkid which has these calls...." :) and why I was asking about moving the in-tree headers slightly out of the way.
