Ext2/3 forward compatibility: on-line resizing
This patch allows forward compatibility with future filesystems which
are dynamically grown by using an alternate algorithm for storing the
block group descriptors. It's also a bit more efficient, in that it
uses just a little bit less disk space. Currently, the ext2 filesystem
format requires either relocating the inode table, or reserving space in
before doing the on-line resize. The new scheme, which is documented in
"Planned Extensions to the Ext2/3 Filesystem", by Stephen Tweedie and I (see:
