This fix causes e2fsck to try to find space for a new +portion of the inode table in the containing flex_bg, and if that +fails, the new portion of the inode table will be allocated in any +free space available in the filesystem. + +Make e2fsck less annoying by only asking for permission to relocate a +block group's inode table once, instead of for every overlapping +block. Similarly, only ask once to recompute the block group +checksums, instead of once for each corrupted block group's checksum. + +Fix filefrag to avoid print the extent header if the FIEMAP ioctl is +not present, and it needs to fall back to using the FIBMAP ioctl. + +Fix filefrag to correctly print the number of extents for zero-length +files. (Addresses Debian Bug: #540376) + +Filefrag now has a -B option which forces the use of the FIBMAP ioctl +to more easily debug the FIBMAP code. + +Fixed filefrag for non-extent based files. + +Add a new program, e2freefrag, which displays information about the +free space fragmentation in an ext2/3/4 filesystem. + +Fix inode resizing via tune2fs -I so that it works correctly in the +face of non-empty bad blocks inodes, and if the filesystem was +formatted using the "mke2fs -E stride=N" option for RAID arrays.

This is needed because otherwise resize2fs will refuse to resize the filesystem, even after running "e2fsck -f".
