Cover letter [Buildroot] [PATCH 0/9] fs/ext2: cleanups and improvements

Hello,

Quoted 12 lines · Yann E. MORIN

J Evans (1):
ext2: add help text for BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_EXT2_BLOCKS

Yann E. MORIN (8):
package/mke2img: check nb_blocks is specified package/mke2img: specifying zero inodes means auto fs/ext2: always pass the number of inodes fs/ext2: always pass the label option fs/ext2: allow reserving zero block for root fs/ext2: simplify code
package/mke2img: add option to specify block size fs/ext2: add option to specify block size

In general, I find this good. However, it badly conflicts with the on-going work to move away from mke2img/genext2fs and use mkfs.ext2/3/4 instead.

For example, I believe mkfs.ext2/3/4 will automatically chose a sane default block size depending on the filesystem size.

Thomas
