It now checks +the i_size value of fast symlinks, and checks for immutable flags +being set of symlinks, etc. + +E2fsck now offers to clear inodes which are special files that have a +non-zero i_blocks or i_size field. (The i_size field check was in the +previous version of the code, but due to a bug it didn't offer to +clear the inode unless i_size and i_size_high were both non-zero.) + +E2image can now create "raw" image files, which only contain the +filesystem metadata placed in a spare file so that e2fsck, dumpe2fs, +debugfs, etc., can be run directly on the raw image file. + +Add support for the 64-bit block device patches. + +Fixed bugs in creating external journals with a 1k blocksize. + +Add initial support for external journals (so long as the external +journal only supports a single filesystem) in e2fsck. + +Remove requirement for needing to run fsck on a filesystem after +removing a journal (either internal or external). + +The man pages now document how to create and manage external journals. + +Speed up the check of an ext3 filesystems by avoiding a needless flush +of all of the superblock and block group descriptors. + +Speed up creating an internal journal using tune2fs in the case where +the filesystem has a lot blocks already allocated. + +Tune2fs has been fixed to make sure that only error messages go to +stderr, and normal message go to stdout. (Addresses Debian bug #108555) + +Fixed a minor bug in mke2fs; if -O none is passed to mke2fs, it will +now not set the sparse_super feature. (Addresses Debian bug #108165) + +Add support in fsck for the filesystem type "auto". + +Fsck -A will not try to interpret device names for filesystems which +have a pass number is 0. (Addresses Debian bug #106696). + +Fsck prints a warning message if now valid filesystems are passed to +it. (Addresses Debian Bug #107458.) + +E2fsck now gives an explicit warning if there filesystem still has +errors at the end of the run. (Addresses Debian bug #104502) + +E2fsck will set the EXT2_ERROR_FS flag if the journal superblock +reflects an error. E2fsck will also not run the orphan list if the +filesystem contains errors, since the orphan list might be corrupted. + +E2fsck now prints the number of large files when given the -v option. + +Fixed minor memory leaks in e2fsck. + +Some minor man pages updates. (Addresses Debian bug #30833, #108174) + -- cgit v1.2.3
