If you ask only about the last sentence - I was just taking back my
claim that we already convert all numbers into unsigned in getnum. We
convert them to long long right now. (It was too late evening for me,
apparently. :-) )
If you ask more about summarising what I want to do, then:
I'm already moving these standalone variables into an options table,
that holds all the information in one place. As I'm already touching
them, I can as well clean the differences and changes accumulated over
the years and change a lot of mkfs's internal variables from a mix of
signed and unsigned, 32bit and 64bit, to a single type, unsigned
64bits long.
That would simplify the code in some places and make it clear what
type numerical values are - less things like foo((long long) bar);
