This caused problems for +diskless workstations where all of the filesystems in /etc/fstab have +an explicit pass number of zero, and fsck could not distinguish this +from a /etc/fstab file with missing pass numbers. + +E2fsck will create a /lost+found directory if there isn't one in the +filesystem, since it's safer to create the lost+found directory before +it's needed. + +Fixed e2fsck so that it would detect bogus immutable inodes which +happen to be sockets and FIFO files, and offer to clear them. + +If a filesystem has multiple reasons why it needs to be checked, and +one of the reasons is that it is uncleanly mounted, e2fsck will print +that as the reason why the filesystem is being checked. + +Cleaned up the output routines of mke2fs so that it doesn't overflow +an 80 column display when formatting really big filesystems. + +Added a sanity check to e2fsck to make sure that file descriptors 0, +1, 2 are open before opening the hard disk. This avoids a problem +where a broken program might exec e2fsck with those file descriptors +closed, which would cause disastrous results if the kernel returns a +file descriptor for the block device which is also used by FILE * +stdout. + +Fixed up the e2fsck progress reporting functions so that the values +reliably reach 100% at the completion of all of the e2fsck passes. + +Fixed minor documentation bugs in man pages and usage messages. + +Programmer's notes: +------------------- + +Fixed a number of lint warnings in the ext2fs library and potential +portability problems from other OS's header files that might define +CPP macros for names like "max" and "min". + +ext2fs_badblocks_list_add() has been made more efficient when it needs +to grow the bad blocks list. + +Fixed a bug in e2fsck which caused it to dereference a freed pointer +just before exiting. + +Fixed the substitution process for generating the mk_cmds and compile_et +scripts so that they will work outside of the build tree. + +Add sanity check to e2fsck so that if an internal routine +(ext2fs_get_dir_info) returns NULL, avoid dereferencing the pointer +and causing a core dump. This should never happen, but... + -- cgit v1.2.3
