----------------------------------
See my motivation for the ability to tell if an image is complete here:

> Right now, the FSImage save code writes the LAYOUT_VERSION at the head of the
> file, along with some other headers, and then dumps the directory into the
> file. Instead, it should write a special IMAGE_IN_PROGRESS entry for the
> layout version, dump all of the data, then seek back to the head of the file
> to write the proper LAYOUT_VERSION. This would make it very easy to detect
> the case where the FSImage save got interrupted.
