Andreas Dilger dc9cc7006a mke2fs: don't set root dir UID/GID automatically
Don't change the root directory's UID/GID automatically just because
mke2fs was run as a non-root user.  This can be confusing for users,
and is not flexible for non-root installation tools that need to
create a filesystem with different ownership from the current user.

Add the "-E root_owner[=uid:gid]" option to mke2fs so that the user
and group can be explicitly specified for the root directory.  If
the "=uid:gid" argument is not specified, the current UID and GID
are extracted from the running process, as was done in the past.

	This is the new version (1.42.7) of the second extended file
system management programs.

	From time to time, I release new versions of e2fsprogs, to fix
bugs and to make the utilities more robust.  You can always find
information about the latest version at the the e2fsprogs web page,
which is:

	http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net

	The INSTALL file has instructions on building and installing
e2fsprogs.  Provisions for building Red Hat RPMs and Debian dpkg files
are supplied as well.

	In case of bugs in these programs, please contact Ted Ts'o at
tytso@mit.edu or tytso@alum.mit.edu.  See the e2fsck man page for
suggestions of what sort of information to include when submitting bug
reports for these programs.
