	Hi,

	For people that downloaded the efsprogs version alpha 5,
DON'T USE THEM !!!  In version alpha 5, efsck contains a bug which
can cause some great damages on an ext fs.  The bug is fixed in
the new version (alpha 6) which is available on ftp-masi.ibp.fr
in the directory pub/linux/ALPHA/extfs (files efsprogs6.tar.Z,
efsprogs6.bin.tar.Z, efsprogs6.src.tar.Z) and I expect them to
be available on tsx-11 in directory pub/linux/ALPHA/extfs soon.

Changes from alpha 5 to alpha 6 are :
- in efsck, a bad test on directory structures is fixed,
- efsck and mkefs now use getopt() to decode arguments,
- mkefs now accepts a -i option to specify the ratio of inodes.

	I strongly apologize for the bug in efsck :-{
