While I kind of like this, because mke2fs is really quite verbose as
it is. However I am afraid that this will break scripts for people.

Also there are actually some useful information in that output like
block size, size of the file system and file system label if
specified. Also maybe having UUID in there will be also useful.

Thanks!
