Yes, that would be better --- although in the long term we should
probably try to get rid of the global variable and pass in an "fs"
parameter into functions in misc/create_inode.c.

Since these aren't in a shared library, I wasn't worried that much
about the details of the abstraction interface, but I'm sure there are
some ways that we can improve things.

BTW, one of my plans for 1.43 is to rename libquota.a to libe2int.a,
and to move things like profile.c, and other files shared between misc
and e2fsck, etc., into an "internal support" library.  I suspect
create_inoode.c would be a candidate for moving into this internal
support library.

Cheers,

Sorry for having you respin the patchset yet again --- although
hopefully it should be easier this time around.  I'm trying to be fair
in catching up with th e2fsprogs backlog, and Robert and Zheng's
patches have been outstanding for a long time.  Don't worry, yours are
next on the list.  :-)

Cheers,
