I wrote a program in tcl/tk that can create empty files and provides a gui
wrapper for mke2fs e2fsck and resize2fs. It will create a new file or
enlarge an existing image.
It is still a little raw yet. There is currently a bug with paths to
images that contain spaces but I discovered that at the last minute and
need to devote some time to other things.
I also plan to port mkswap so that It can create swap images.
The program does not create sparce files as my main intention is for it to
be used with systems that can boot the kernel nativly as well.
It does not allow for extra options on mke2fs as my goal was to create a
newbie interface and I figure people who understand those options would
prefer to use mke2fs from the command line.
the program is called topoenlarge and is here
