[arch-dev-public] [signoff] e2fsprogs 1.40.5-2

Creating a boot filesystem with the default settings for mke2fs will render grub useless because grub can't read partitions created with it.

The issue is that the inode size is 256 by default, which is compatible with kernel 2.6.10 and higher. Older kernels, and also grub won't work with anything else than 128, which is the default according to the manpage (but clearly isn't).

As promised on IRC yesterday, I fixed it in -2, please sign off. I am very angry about this change, I wonder how e2fsprogs developers boot their systems. I will not have people use lilo on Arch again, it is so old and broken.
