RH bug 569021 - mke2fs insists on user interaction even if stdin is

This is just a warning, -F should easily override it.
Since this is just a warning, do we really need to have "-F" at all?
I dislike requiring "-F" on common actions, because it means that it
will commonly be used, but may accidentally override some unintended
problem.
We've lived without block device alignment until now, and it seems
somewhat unpleasant that mke2fs may start failing (if -F is not given)
for situations where it previously worked just fine.
