Whoa! And I get the answer just handed to me!

Now how am I supposed to learn anything when you just spoon-feed me?

;)

You know, I had been staring at tune2fs for a while and didn't come up 
with such a possibility -- mainly, I suppose, because I'm not used to 
using home-made scripts. I do almost everything by hand these days.

You have to love the power of scripting.

And the power of subscribing to a list with folks like you on it.

Many, many thanks, Andrei!
