More to the point, what about file systems that don't have uninit_bg set?

According to code of kernel 2.6.24 in which uninit_bg was introduced in, kernel can handle the case and META_BG can also be handled rightly. But it was not tested. I will do a test later.

The different handling to some groups let readers think that we have to handle these groups this way, otherwise errors will happen. Actually, no error will happen. IMHO this can make both logic and code much clearer. Yongqiang. > > -- Ted > > >

Now mke2fs initializes block bitmaps of groups having super block, on the other hand ext4_init_block_bitmap in kernel can handle this case rightly. So let mke2fs let block bitmaps of groups having super block be uninitialized.
