| 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... |
