| E2fsprogs 1.23 (August 15, 2001) |
| ================================ |
| |
| Add initial support for extended attributes (EA); e2fsck will |
| correctly handle a filesystem with EA's and check the EA blocks for |
| corruptions. |
| |
| E2fsck's symlink sanity checking has been cleaned up. It now checks |
| the i_size value of fast symlinks, and checks for immutable flags |
| being set of symlinks, etc. |
| |
| E2fsck now offers to clear inodes which are special files that have a |
| non-zero i_blocks or i_size field. (The i_size field check was in the |
| previous version of the code, but due to a bug it didn't offer to |
| clear the inode unless i_size and i_size_high were both non-zero.) |
| |
| E2image can now create "raw" image files, which only contain the |
| filesystem metadata placed in a spare file so that e2fsck, dumpe2fs, |
| debugfs, etc., can be run directly on the raw image file. |
| |
| Add support for the 64-bit block device patches. |
| |
| Fixed bugs in creating external journals with a 1k blocksize. |
| |
| Add initial support for external journals (so long as the external |
| journal only supports a single filesystem) in e2fsck. |
| |
| Remove requirement for needing to run fsck on a filesystem after |
| removing a journal (either internal or external). |
| |
| The man pages now document how to create and manage external journals. |
| |
| Speed up the check of an ext3 filesystems by avoiding a needless flush |
| of all of the superblock and block group descriptors. |
| |
| Speed up creating an internal journal using tune2fs in the case where |
| the filesystem has a lot blocks already allocated. |
| |
| Tune2fs has been fixed to make sure that only error messages go to |
| stderr, and normal message go to stdout. (Addresses Debian bug #108555) |
| |
| Fixed a minor bug in mke2fs; if -O none is passed to mke2fs, it will |
| now not set the sparse_super feature. (Addresses Debian bug #108165) |
| |
| Add support in fsck for the filesystem type "auto". |
| |
| Fsck -A will not try to interpret device names for filesystems which |
| have a pass number is 0. (Addresses Debian bug #106696). |
| |
| Fsck prints a warning message if now valid filesystems are passed to |
| it. (Addresses Debian Bug #107458.) |
| |
| E2fsck now gives an explicit warning if there filesystem still has |
| errors at the end of the run. (Addresses Debian bug #104502) |
| |
| E2fsck will set the EXT2_ERROR_FS flag if the journal superblock |
| reflects an error. E2fsck will also not run the orphan list if the |
| filesystem contains errors, since the orphan list might be corrupted. |
| |
| E2fsck now prints the number of large files when given the -v option. |
| |
| Fixed minor memory leaks in e2fsck. |
| |
| Some minor man pages updates. (Addresses Debian bug #30833, #108174) |
