| E2fsprogs 1.34 (July 25, 2003) |
| =============================== |
| |
| Fixed a bug introduced in E2fsprogs 1.30 which caused fsck to spin in |
| a tight loop while waiting for a child fsck to exit in some cases. |
| This burns CPU times which slows down the low-level filesystem check. |
| |
| Added code to mke2fs to assure that the default block size for a |
| filesystem is at least as big as the sector size of the device, if it |
| can be determined. |
| |
| Changed mke2fs and resize2fs to round the default size of a filesystem |
| to be an even multiple of the VM pagesize in order to avoid a Linux |
| kernel bug introduced when the storage of the buffer cache was moved |
| into the page cache. |
| |
| Mke2fs will warn the user when creating a filesystem with journalling |
| and a blocksize greater than 4096. (Addresses Debian bug #193773) |
| |
| Fixed a bug in resize2fs which caused it to fail on filesystems with a |
| non-empty bad block list. Resize2fs now discards any blocks on the |
| badblock list which are no longer part of the filesystem as the result |
| of a filesystem shrink. (Note: this means that shrinking and then |
| enlarging a filesystem is no longer a reversible operation; |
| information about bad blocks in the part of the filesystem which is to |
| be chopped off will be lost.) |
| |
| Changed resize2fs so the user can use prefixes to specify the units of |
| the new filesystem size (sectors, kilobytes, megabytes, or gigabytes), |
| and to make the error and informational messages explicitly display |
| the blocksize used by the filesystem, in order to avoid confusion. |
| (Addresses Debian bug: #189814) |
| |
| Added a new debugfs command, dump_unused, which dumps the contents of |
| all unused blocks to stdout. (Useful as an emergency try-to-find |
| deleted data command.) |
| |
| Added a new debugfs command, imap, which prints the location of a |
| specified inode in the inode table. |
| |
| Fixed a bug in the badblocks program which caused it to use one bit of |
| randomness in its non-destructive read/write test, instead of using a |
| full 8 bits of randomness. |
| |
| Added a new option (-t) to badblocks, which allows the user to control |
| the test pattern(s) used when checking a disk. |
| |
| The blkid probe function now more correctly detects UDF filesystems. |
| |
| Fixed a bug in the blkid library which caused it to not update its |
| cache if a filesystem changes from having a label to not having a |
| label. |
| |
| Fixed a bug in the blkid library which could avoid an infinite loop |
| in blkid_find_dev_with_tag() if /proc is not mounted and there the |
| /etc/blkid.tab file has not yet been created. |
| |
| Fixed the badblocks program so that the destructive read/write test |
| honors the -c option, and to use O_DIRECT when possible to avoid |
| thrashing the system block buffer cache. |
| |
| Fixed various NLS issues. |
| - Added Czech and Swedish translations |
| - Removed testing NYC translation |
| - Fixed NLS support for message abbreviations in e2fsck |
| - Remove de-utf.po, since we shouldn't have two versions using different |
| charset encodings. |
| - Used ngettext() (abbreviated with the macro P_(str1, str2, n)) to |
| simplify the statistics reporting in e2fsck. |
| |
| Changed configure.in so that its defaults for *BSD systems no longer |
| build an fsck wrapper, and not to install in /usr/local by default. |
| |
| Fixed some minor spelling errors/typo's in e2fsck and the configure |
| script. |
| |
| Fixed various Debian packaging issues (see debian/changelog). |
| |
| Updated and clarified man pages. (Addresses Debian Bug #195616) |
| |
| Programmer's notes: |
| ------------------- |
| |
| Fix gcc -Wall nitpicks. |
| |
| Updated gettext implementation used by e2fsprogs to 0.11.5, and enable |
| NLS support by default. (Added partial workaround for gettext/Darwin |
| incompatibility problems.) |
| |
| Added full MIT KRB5 and Himdall compatibility support to the com_err |
| library and the compile_et program. (Addresses Debian bug #191900) |
| |
| Added the blkid_known_fstype() function to the blkid library, which |
| returns true if it is passed a filesystem type which is recognized by |
| the blkid probing functions. |
| |
| Improved the documentation for the blkid library. |
| |
| Added the ext2fs_get_device_sectsize() function the the ext2fs library, which |
| returns the hardware sector size of a device, if it is available. |
| |
| Added a dependency in the blkid library's .so file to the uuid |
| library, since the former uses the latter. (Addresses Debian bug |
| #194094) |
| |
| Added --with-diet-libc and --disable-evms to the configure script. |
| |
| Fixed a minor memory leak in the badblocks program. |
| |
| Fixed a portability problem in tune2fs --- not all systems have strptime(). |
| |
| Fixed a portability problem in debugfs with the use of getopt() more |
| than once. Old-style BSD, new-style BSD, and Linux C libraries all do |
| things differently. |
| |
| Add support Windows support to ext2fs_get_device_size(). |
| |
| Added (normally disabled) debugging code to the Unix I/O manager which |
| causes it to disable all userspace caching if the NO_IO_CACHE is |
| defined. |
| |
| Changed the test I/O manager so it can always be linked into e2fsck, |
| mke2fs, and tune2fs if enabled via --enable-test-io-debug to the |
| configure script. The test I/O manager will only print any debugging |
| information if the TEST_IO_FLAGS or TEST_IO_BLOCK environment |
| variables are set, which specifies which I/O operations are logged and |
| a block number to watch, respectively. The log messages are sent to |
| stderr by default, unless a filename is specified via the |
| TEST_IO_LOGFILE environment variable. |
