(The problem was that when +e2fsck -p discovered the problem, while it was closing the filesystem +and exiting, it was also blowing away the backup superblocks on the +disk, which was less than friendly.) We now make it the case that we +only write out the backup superblock and the back block descriptors if +the filesystem is completely free from problems. + +Fixed a bug in block_interate in the lib/ext2fs library which caused +e2fsck to fail on GNU Hurd-created filesystems. + +Add support for Linux/FT's bootloader, which actually uses +EXT2_BOOT_LOADER, and sets its mode bits which caused e2fsck to want +to clear the inode. + +Add support for the "A" (no atime update) attribute. (Note: this +attribute is not yet in production kernels.) + +The test suite is not automatically run when doing a "make all" from +the top level directory. Users should manually run "make check" if +they wish to run the test suite. + +Upon a preenhalt(), make the printed message more explicit that +running e2fsck "MANUALLY" means without the -p or -a options. + +In e2fsck, if a disconnected inode is zero-length, offer to clear it +instead of offering to connect it to lost+found. + +In e2fsck, if a filesystem was just unmounted uncleanly, and needs +e2fsck to be run over it, change e2fsck to explicitly display this +fact. + +For dumpe2fs and e2fsck, cause the -V option to print out which +version of the ext2fs library is actually getting used. (This will +help detect mismatches of using a 1.06 utility with a 1.05 library, +etc.) + +Programmers' notes: +------------------- + +EXT2_SWAP_BYTES was changed to EXT2_FLAG_SWAP_BYTES, which better fits +the naming convention. + +In ext2fs_initialize(), make sure the description for the inode bitmap +is correctly initialize. + +Fixed minor type typo in ext2fs_allocate_generic_bitmap(); + |
