The new functionality is more +what the user expects, and is more useful.) + +Added a debugging hook to test parallel fsck; if the environment +variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL, then filesystems on the same drive +will be checked in parallel when they normally would not be. + +Programmer's notes: +------------------- + +Fixed some #ifdef's for compilation under the Hurd OS. + +Fixed minor W2K compatibility problems. + +Fixed some miscellaneous GCC warnings. + |
