Subject: ext4: odd values for mkfs.ext4 -i

Hi,

Is it ok that e2fsprogs-1.41.4 allows odd values for -i, such as
in `mkfs.ext4 -i 2047`? If inodes were arranged every 2047 bytes, they 
would not be aligned, which would mean one extra sector would have to be 
read every now and then, does not it?
Should odd values be rejected?

[BTW: this mailing list address should be mentioned at 
e2fsprogs.sf.net]

Jan
