Adding EXT4 support

[Peter Clark]

To add EXT4 support to mondoarchive/mondorestore, one needs to add the modules 'ext4 jbd2 crc16' and the programs 'fsck.ext4 mkfs.ext4' to the mindi deplist.txt file.

It would be nice to have mkfs.ext4 called with the same parameters as mkfs.ext3. Currently doing a mondorestore and changing filesystem types to ext4 formats the filesystem and calls badblocks, which takes about 45 minutes to complete on my 150gb partition. Calling 'mkfs.ext4' by hand for that partition takes no longer than 5, and doesn't invoke badblocks.

Support of ext4 has been added in rev [2087]. Will be in 2.2.8. Packages are on their way for you to test at ​ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/test/fedora/10

Tested Mindi-2.0.5-1 and found that although it does now include the ext4 modules, the ext4 executables (mkfs.ext4, et al) weren't yet automatically included on the rescue CD. Will keep an eye out for newer versions of the utilities and re-report when they're available. Thanks.

Just a followup, ext4 operations using mondorescue works fine after manually adding mkfs.ext4 and fsck.ext4 to the mindi dependency list.

I modified my upstream deplist.txt accordingly in rev [2093] and regenerated new 2.2.8 beta under ​ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/test/fedora/10

Happy to get final feedback (if it's working ;-)
