The combination of 128-byte inodes and inline_data is silly, since there's no room in the inode table. Unfortunately, if neither mke2fs.conf nor the mkfs command line options specify an inode size, the default inode size is set to 128 bytes (by libext2fs) and the warning isn't printed. Therefore, always do the check-and-warning. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.
