Thanks for submitting a patch, Prasad (and Chaitanya).

Can you please re-submit this?  Based on feedback what
we're looking for would be:
[PATCH 0/2] description e-mail
[PATCH 1/2] patch that substitutes /sbin/mkfs with ${MKFS_PROG}
[PATCH 2/2] patch that adds a '-f' flag to ${MKFS_PROG}.${FSTYP}
            for all ext* filesystem types.

Thanks.
