ChangeLog, fsck.c, mke2fs.c:
fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes in a
device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab. Allow the
location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by the FSTAB_FILE environment
variable.
mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync every
MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out the inode tables.
This is to work around a VM bug in the 2.0 kernel. I've heard a
report that a RAID user was able to trigger it even using a 2.2
kernel.
