ChangeLog, ext2_err.et.in, ext2fs.h, initialize.c, mkjournal.c, openfs.c:
initialize.c (ext2fs_initialize): Add support for initializing the
ext2 superblock for external journal devices. This basically means we
don't bother to allocate any block group descriptors.
openfs.c (ext2fs_open): Only open external journal devices if the new
flag EXT2_FLAG_JOURNAL_DEV_OK is passed to ext2fs_open. When opening
such devices, don't try to read the block group descriptors, since
they're not there.
ext2_err.et.in (EXT2_NO_JOURNAL_SB): Add new error code
mkjournal.c: Export a new function,
ext2fs_create_journal_superblock(), which allocates and returns a
buffer containing a journal superblock. This is needed by mke2fs to
create an external journal. Rewrote ext2fs_add_journal_device() so
that it no longer creates the external journal, but rather adds a
filesystem to an existing external journal. It handles all of the
UUID manipulation.
ext2fs.h: List the EXT3_FEATURE_JOURNAL_DEV as a flag supported by the
library. Define the EXT2_FLAG_JOURNAL_DEV_OK. Changed function
prototype for ext2fs_add_journal_device().
