Currently +the only supported raid option is "stride" which specifies the width +of the RAID stripe. + +Fixed bug in e2fsck where pass1b would bomb out if there were any +blocks marked bad in the inode table. + +Fixed rare bug in mke2fs where if the user had a very unlucky number +of blocks in a filesystem (probability less than .002) the resulting +filesystem would be corrupt in the last block group. + +Fixed bug where if e2fsck tried to allocate a block to fix a +filesystem corruption problem and the filesystem had no free blocks, +ext2fs_new_block() would loop forever. + +The configure script now checks explicitly to see if "-static" works, +since that can't be assumed to be true --- RedHat doesn't install +libc-static by default. + +Fixed bug in libext2's block iterator functions where under some +circumstances, file with holes would cause the bcount parameter to the +callback function to be incorrect. This bug didn't affect any of +e2fsprogs programs, but it was discovered by Paul Mackerras, the +author of the PPC boot loader. + +Removed use of static variables to store the inode cache in libext2fs. +This caused problems if more than one filesystem was accessed via +libext2fs (static variables in libraries are generally a bad idea). +Again, this didn't affect e2fsprogs programs, but it was discovered by +Paul Mackerras. + +Fixed minor bugs and version code drift to assure that e2fsprogs 1.10 +will compile cleanly with 1.2.13 kernels (even with a.out shared +libraries!) + +Programmer's notes: +------------------- + +Added new functions to duplicate an ext2 filesystem handle, and its +associated substructure. New functions: ext2fs_dup_handle(), +ext2fs_copy_dblist(), ext2fs_badblocks_copy(), ext2fs_copy_bitmap(). +Other structures, such as the io_channel and the inode_cache, now have +a ref count so that they only get freed when they are no longer used +by any filesystem handle. (These functions were added as part of the +development effort for an ext2 resizer). + -- cgit v1.2.3
