genext2fs generates an ext2 filesystem as a normal
(non-root) user. It does not require you to mount
the image file to copy files on it, nor does it
require that you become the superuser to make
device nodes.

binary-multiple prefixes for some option values,
the --faketime option, a more capable device table
format compatible with that of mkfs.jffs2,
hardlink support, socket support, support for big
filesystems, Solaris 2.x and Mac OS X support,
automatic measurement of the filesystem inode
count, and uClibc support. There are also various
bugfixes and an up-to-date manpage.
