Hi all,

Inspired by extN's e2freefrag tool, we're going to add a new tool to 
provide some important information to users which missed from our early 
ocfs2-tools:
such as global bitmap free space fragmentation , free inode info, new 
extended inode information etc. The information it shows should be 
comprehensive and integrated enough to cover most of the infos in ocfs2 fs.

Refer to http://oss.oracle.com/osswiki/OCFS2/ToolsTasksList for more 
details.

The v1 implementation is essentially a draft which built a raw framework 
of the tool ,then implement several operations(such as volinfo, 
fs-features and filestat), and I do want it get reviewed early before 
all operations completed.

One of our goals is to modularize the code and make it scalable enough 
to add new operations.

Work-in-progress:

1. operations for --freefrag and --freeinode.

2. o2info.8.in manual file.


Regards,
Tristan.
