E2fsprogs 1.13 (December 15, 1998)
==================================
Fixed a bug in debugfs where an error messages weren't getting printed
when the ext2 library routines to read inodes returned errors in the
stat, cmri and rm commands.
Fixed a bug in mke2fs so that if a ridiculous inode ratio parameter is
provided, it won't create an inode table smaller than the minimum
number of inodes required for a proper ext2 filesystem.
Fsck now parses the /etc/fstab file directly (instead of using
getmntent()), so that it can distinguish between a missing pass number
field and pass number field of zero. 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...
