This patch conflicts with an earlier patch you had sent which allowed
copy_file() to handle sparse files.

Also, could you move all of the functions which you added to
misc/util.c to a new file, named something like misc/create_inode.c,
or something like that?

That will avoid bloating the tune2fs binary, which won't need any of
these new functions.

Eventually, I plan to rename libquota to libinternal, and use it for
internal functions used by e2fsprogs, and at that point we'll move
misc/util.c, e2fsck/profile.c, and the functions for creating inodes
into this libinternal library.

But for now, if you could organize these functions into a one or more
separate .c files, and leave them in the misc directory, that would be
great.

Thanks!!
