            Bug ID: 117421
           Summary: e2fsprogs: mke2fs ignores sparse_super2 when also
                    using extent or 64bit
           Product: File System
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: 4.2.8
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: ext4
          Assignee: fs_ext4@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
          Reporter: kellyc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
        Regression: No

Package: e2fsprogs
Version: 1.42.12-1.1
Severity: normal
File: /sbin/mke2fs

When creating an ext3/ext4 filesystem the sparse_super2 option is ignored and
defaults back to sparse_super when using extent or 64bit.
mke2fs should respect the use of sparse_super2 when using either or both -O
extent or -O 64bit.


Normal formatting using sparse_super and works as expected creating 2 backup
superblocks.

mke2fs /dev/sdq1 -t ext4 -b 4096 -O sparse_super2

Using extent option with sparse_super2 creates more than 2 backup superblocks.

Using 64bit option with sparse_super2 creates more than 2 backup superblocks.

mke2fs (mkfs.ext4) should respect the sparse_super2 option when used with 64bit
or extent.
