[PATCH] ext4: use mkfs.ext4 -F instead of piping in yes

From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
Date: 2014-09-07 12:29:21
Also in: fstests
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

Using "yes | mkfs.ext4 ..." results in the error message results in
the test failing, at least for some versions of e2fsprogs:

    +yes: standard output: Broken pipe
    +yes: write error

It better to use the -F option, which will eliminate the questions.
