* There are two patches, one is used for fixing the max length of the 
  argument, the other one is for sparsing copy when src is a sparse
  file.

* BTW., we are trying to use the debugfs to create an ext2/ext3/ext4
  image based on a given directory or file, which is similar to genext2fs,
  please vist here for the script you are interested in it: 

  https://gist.github.com/robertlinux/6034499

  It is an external shell script at the moment, the performance is not good,
  so we are going to:
  - Integrate this function into mke2fs in C language.
  - Add a [-d <directory>] option to specify the initial directory in mke2fs

  I'm not sure whether such a patch is acceptable or not, please feel free to
  give your comments.
