The new flags that were added +are: --disable-swapfs, which removes support for byte swapping old +legacy PPC/68k filesystems, --disable-debugfs, which removes support +for debugfs from the libext2fs library, --disable-imager, which +removes support for the e2image program, and --disable-resizer, which +removes support for resize2fs. + +E2fsck now prints the number of mounts or days elapsed since the last +check when e2fsck is forced to check an otherwise clean filesystem. + +Tune2fs now prints an informative message about how often a filesystem +will be checked when adding a journal to the filesystem, to remind the +user that he/she may want to adjust those parameters using tune2fs +-c/-i. + +Worked around hurd brain-damage which causes e2fsck to sometimes +believe a filesystem is the root filesystem based on device numbers +(since Hurd doesn't have dev_t's, which is arguably a POSIX.1 +violation). + +Fixed a bug introduced in 1.20 which caused e2fsck to abort with an +erroneous error with the -F option was specified. + +Fixed a ext3 recovery bug in the revoke handling; synchronized with +ext3 0.7a. + +Fixed two bugs in e2fsck's handling of dup block handling, dealing +with relatively uncommon edge cases: a directory with an indirect +block which is claimed by another file, and when the last inode in the +filesystem has blocks claimed by another file. + +E2fsck now checks to see if the i_size field of a fast symlink is too +big, and offers to clear the symlink if so. + +E2fsck now checks to see if i_size_high of special files is non-zero, +and offers to clear i_size_high. + +Fix e2fsck's handling of incompatible journal flags so that the user +has chance to abort, and then has the option to clear out the journal +entirely. (Addresses Debian bug #98527.) + +Fixed a bug in fsck which could cause it to core dump if a mix of +standard and non-standard device names are used in /etc/fstab. +(Debian bug #100559) + +Fixed a bug in debugfs which caused read errors when copying a file to +not be noticed. + +The debugfs set_super_value command can now modify the s_lastcheck field. + +Fixed a bug in lsattr and chattr which was accidentally introduced in +1.20 to support > 2GB files; both lsattr and chattr wasn't reading +directories correctly because the change modified the layout of struct +dirent to be incompatible with the libe2p shared library. + +Cleaned up the mke2fs manual page and included a discussion about why +it's good to periodically check the filesystem even when journalling is +enabled. + +Programmer's notes: +------------------- + +Fix general gcc -Wall complaints. + +The types needed by the ext2 header files are now provided by +lib/ext2fs/ext2_types.h, instead of include/asm/types.h. + +Integers are now preferred to longs when trying to find a 32-bit type +in ext2_types.h. Also, if linux/types.h has already been defined, +don't try to redefine the types. + +Fixed make depend script so that it automatically corrects the +pathname cleanups performed by make -M, so I don't have to fix them up +by hand. + +Fixed the d_loaddump test case to be more robust, and not depend on +bash'isms. + +Removed debugfs's dependence on pread(), which was accidentally +introduced in e2fsprogs 1.20 + +Fixed a performance bug in the libext2fs's icount routine; the size +estimate of the icount array was incorrectly being calculated. + +Removed use of the badblocks compatibility functions in the e2fsprogs +programs. + +Added paranoia code which protects against strange cases where /etc +isn't on the root filesystem, or if /etc/mtab doesn't exist. + +The header file ext2_types.h is now installed. + +Autoconf is used to determine when we are on big-endian machines, +instead of doing run-time tests, to save a few bytes of code. + +The ext2fs_mark_generic_bitmap and ext2fs_unmark_generic_bitmap +functions are no longer inline functions, which saves space and +doesn't really cost any real performance. + +The ext2fs library no longer depends on the e2p library. (What need +there was of it --- namely, fsetflags, was coded in-line). + +Fixed the makefile so that lib/ext2fs/ext2_types.h is generated even +when the user is stupid and tries compiling the package using "make +install" as root. + +Miscellaneous code cleanups: + * Added missing files from Makefile.in's SRCS file, so that + their dependencies would be properly calculated. + * Removed redundant code + * Fixed comments in code + * Removed no-longer needed argsused #pragma. + -- cgit v1.2.3
