Hi Ted,

Yes, I see where you are going. Being able to deny read/write to a
block device that is mounted is a good goal.

But I am talking about mke2fs rather than tune2fs. I can't really see
a need for two code paths when creating a filesystem?

It would still make sense to separate the option parsing from the
mutation logic of course.

Note this is already occurs in mke2fs: one call to process options
from profile/config file, and another call for command-line args.

So in v2 patch, I just made further calls, one for each -E argument.
So far it seems to work without problems.

Regards
