+  - Note that it is highly important to install the mke2fs.conf file
+    that comes with the e2fsprogs 1.41.x sources in /etc/mke2fs.conf. If
+    you have edited the /etc/mke2fs.conf file installed on your system,
+    you will need to merge your changes with the version from e2fsprogs
+    1.41.x.
