Subject: [PATCH][e2fsprogs] Allow user to disable Undo manager through
	MKE2FS_SCRATCH_DIR

From: Jose R. Santos <jrs@...ibm.com>

Allow user to disable Undo manager through MKE2FS_SCRATCH_DIR

Undo manager is a bit annoying when doing e2fsprogs testing since it
makes mke2fs significatly slower.  Use the MKE2FS_SCRATCH_DIR=disable
enviroment value to disable undo manager for those of us that blow up
filesystems on a regular basis.
