This is useful for capturing the +output of fsck during the boot sequence. + +Fixed some portability problems that were causing problems under +the Cygwin32 environment. + +Mke2fs now interprets a negative number to the -b option as a minimum +block size. + +Fixed a bug in mke2fs which was incorrectly checking the argument to +the -g option if the default block size was used. (Addresses Debian +bug #188319) + +Fsck now explicitly ignores tmpfs and devpts, and it will complain if +it can not find filesystem checkers for jfs, reseirfs, and xfs. + +E2fsck now updates the global free block and inode counters from the +block group specific counters quietly. This is needed for an +experimental patch which eliminates locking the entire filesystem when +allocating blocks or inodes; if the filesystem is not unmounted +cleanly, the global counts may not be accurate. + +Imported bug fixes to the EVMS plugin from the EVMS 2.0 tree. (EVMS +2.0 is not yet supported; this only pulled in the bug fixes: fixed +possible hangs caused by bugs in calling waitpid, and not setting the +pipe to non-blocking mode; also fixed a file descriptor leak; made +sure all functions call log entry/exit functions.) + +Badblocks now flushes its output file as bad blocks are discovered. + +The uuid library is now more paranoid about assuming the correctness +of the /dev/random device; it mixes in a stream of bytes from +random/srandom, just in case. + +Update Debian files to reflect the fact that I am now the Debian +maintainer of e2fsprogs. Other various Debian-specific packaging +cleanups. + +Move the source tarball generation functions from the top-level +makefile to the util/gen-tarball script. + +Updated the Turkish .po translation file. + +Added Heimdal and MIT krb5 extensions to the com_err library to make +it more compatible with com_err libraries from those distributions. + +Changed dumpe2fs to always display the superblock fields relating to +the journalling and/or directory indexing feature even if those +features are not enabled. + +Updated and clarify copyright statement vis-a-vis alpha releases of +e2fsprogs. + +The ss library will now try to dynamically link to the readline +library and use it if it is present in the system. This means that +the debugfs program now has line editing and history features. The +SS_READLINE_PATH environment variable is used to find a readline or +readline-compatible library. + +E2fsck now finds most duplicate filenames (all when rebuilding all +directories via the -D option) and offers to delete or rename +duplicate filenames/directory entries. (Addresses Debian Bug #176814). + +Fix bug in e2image. When writing out a raw image file, include data +blocks from symlinks that do not store the symlink within the inode. + +Fix bug in resize2fs which incorrectly moved the block and inode +bitmaps for sparse superblock filesystems and incorrectly marked +blocks as in use. (Addresses Debian bug #174766) + +Added a new shared library, the blkid library, which efficiently +allows fsck, mke2fs, e2fsck, and tune2fs to be able to look up LABEL +and UUID filesystem specifiers without needing to search all of the +devices in the system. Instead, the device is looked up in a cache +file, and then verified to make sure the blkid cache is correct. + +Tune2fs and e2label will accept LABEL=xxx and UID=yyy specifiers for +the device name, using the blkid library. (Addresses Debian bugs +#166048, #179671) + +Fsck now supports backslash escapes in /etc/fstab so that \040 can be +used for spaces in device labels. + +Removed 32-bit limitations for debugfs's dump command. + +If the user specifies a large number of inodes, Mke2fs will +automatically adjust the number of blocks per group to find a valid +set of filesystem parameters. + +Add workaround to detect broken MD devices where when some of the +underlying devices are marked read-only, writes to the MD device are +silently dropped. E2fsck will detect if there is an attempt to run +the journal twice, and abort with an error if this is the case. +(Addresses IBM Bugzilla bug #1226) + +E2fsck will print an error if more than one of the -p/-a, -n or -y +options are specified. + +E2fsck will fix HTREE corruptions in preen mode, without stopping the +boot process. This is needed because the 2.4 ext2 filesystem +accidentally had the INDEX_FL backwards compatibility code removed. + +Mke2fs no longer creates filesystems with the dir_index flag set by +default; the user has to specifically request it. + +Update and clarified various man pages. (Addresses Debian bugs +#173612, #175233, #175113, and #170497, #185945, #188318) + +Created man page for the mk_cmds program (from the libss library). + +Programmer's notes: +------------------- + +Fix various gcc -Wall nits. + +Fixed a lot of portability problems that caused e2fsprogs not to build +successfully under Solaris and Apple/Darwin. + +Fixed a Makefile dependency to allow building e2fsprogs using parallel +make jobs. + +Changes to create a subset distribution which consists only of the +et, ss, uuid, and blkid libraries. The configure script and top-level +makefile were changed to support working with a subset distribution. + +Removed EXT2_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_BTREE_DIR mention of since it's not +actually used, and might people who are looking for +EXT2_FEATURE_COMPAT_DIR_INDEX, which is in use. + +Updated debian files to fix a number of Lintian warnings. + +Updated config.guess and config.sub with newer versions from the FSF. + +Removed unnecessary libraries from being linked into the fsck, lsattr, +chattr, and blkid executables. + -- cgit v1.2.3
