Modified files:
sbin/newfs mkfs.c newfs.8 newfs.c newfs.h
Log:
Rename the undocumented -E option to -X.
Implement -E option which will erase the filesystem sectors before
making the new filesystem. Reserved space in front of the superblock
(bootcode) is not erased.
NB: Erasing can take as long time as writing every sector sequentially.
This is relevant for all flash based disks which use wearlevelling.
