My suggestion would be to use a different option for this. The "-i"
option is used for "inode ratio" for mke2fs, and also used by debugfs
to read e2image file as input.
Is it not OK to use "-f" for this also? That is normally the "force" option.
Alternately, does it make sense to start using "-E ignore_error" or
similar extended option, so that there can be better fine-grained error
handling added in the future?
Cheers, Andreas
