+. $cmd_dir/run_mke2fs
Don't change the root directory's UID/GID automatically just because mke2fs was run as a non-root user. This can be confusing for users, and is not flexible for non-root installation tools that need to create a filesystem with different ownership from the current user. Add the "-E root_owner[=uid:gid]" option to mke2fs so that the user and group can be explicitly specified for the root directory. If the "=uid:gid" argument is not specified, the current UID and GID are extracted from the running process, as was done in the past.
