* Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
  - Special case loopmounted filesystems as it's safer to format the
    underlying file, not the device.
  - Offer ext4 before ext3.
  - Warn when reformatting an existing misaligned partition for use as
    ext3/ext4, since it will result in poor performance and this is about
    the only sensible opportunity to fix it.
  - Add preseedable partman-ext3/lazy_itable_init question, which if true
    runs mkfs.ext* with '-E lazy_itable_init', greatly speeding up mkfs on
    large drives. This defaults to false since it is currently unsafe for
    use on areas of disk that previously contained a filesystem.

runs mkfs.extwith '-E lazy_itable_init', greatly speeding up mkfs on
large drives (LP: #556621). This defaults to false since it is

* Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
  - Special case loopmounted filesystems as it's safer to format the
    underlying file, not the device.
  - Enable ext4 support, and offer it before ext3.
* Drop ext3/ext4 relatime default, as it's now the default in the kernel.

Offer ext4 before ext3, since it's now the default.

* Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
  - Special case loopmounted filesystems as it's safer to format the
    underlying file, not the device.
  - Default to mounting ext3 and ext4 with relatime.
  - Enable ext4 support.

20. By Colin Watson on 2009-01-08

Add ext4 support (LP: #293465). Some translatable strings are still
incorrect, but that will be fixed once this gets into Debian.

  - Default to mounting ext3 with relatime.
  - check.d/nomountpoint_ext3: Make $RET look for a boolean value.
