hello,
e2p_percent() doesn't work for zero percent (``mke2fs -m0'' gets killed with
SIGFPE).
is there a reason for not simply using 64 bit arithmetic? perhaps to avoid
overflows for 7e+9TB file-systems :-), or just for correctness...
So, here is the patch that fixes this. In order to avoid integer overflows,
we pick 16 more bits to store ``base'' and do the exact division on 48 bits.
Since ``100 * base'' always fits in 48 bits, there's never overflow. This
still work if we remplace 'unsigned int' by 'unsigned long long'.
cheers,
