| E2fsprogs 1.21 (June 15, 2001) |
| ============================== |
| |
| Added new configure flags which allow a subset e2fsprogs to be built; |
| this is most useful for boot floppies, since the resulting shared |
| libraries and programs are slimmed down by removing features that |
| aren't necessary for a boot floppy. The new flags that were added |
| are: --disable-swapfs, which removes support for byte swapping old |
| legacy PPC/68k filesystems, --disable-debugfs, which removes support |
| for debugfs from the libext2fs library, --disable-imager, which |
| removes support for the e2image program, and --disable-resizer, which |
| removes support for resize2fs. |
| |
| E2fsck now prints the number of mounts or days elapsed since the last |
| check when e2fsck is forced to check an otherwise clean filesystem. |
| |
| Tune2fs now prints an informative message about how often a filesystem |
| will be checked when adding a journal to the filesystem, to remind the |
| user that he/she may want to adjust those parameters using tune2fs |
| -c/-i. |
| |
| Worked around hurd brain-damage which causes e2fsck to sometimes |
| believe a filesystem is the root filesystem based on device numbers |
| (since Hurd doesn't have dev_t's, which is arguably a POSIX.1 |
| violation). |
| |
| Fixed a bug introduced in 1.20 which caused e2fsck to abort with an |
| erroneous error with the -F option was specified. |
| |
| Fixed a ext3 recovery bug in the revoke handling; synchronized with |
| ext3 0.7a. |
| |
| Fixed two bugs in e2fsck's handling of dup block handling, dealing |
| with relatively uncommon edge cases: a directory with an indirect |
| block which is claimed by another file, and when the last inode in the |
| filesystem has blocks claimed by another file. |
| |
| E2fsck now checks to see if the i_size field of a fast symlink is too |
| big, and offers to clear the symlink if so. |
| |
| E2fsck now checks to see if i_size_high of special files is non-zero, |
| and offers to clear i_size_high. |
| |
| Fix e2fsck's handling of incompatible journal flags so that the user |
| has chance to abort, and then has the option to clear out the journal |
| entirely. (Addresses Debian bug #98527.) |
| |
| Fixed a bug in fsck which could cause it to core dump if a mix of |
| standard and non-standard device names are used in /etc/fstab. |
| (Debian bug #100559) |
| |
| Fixed a bug in debugfs which caused read errors when copying a file to |
| not be noticed. |
| |
| The debugfs set_super_value command can now modify the s_lastcheck field. |
| |
| Fixed a bug in lsattr and chattr which was accidentally introduced in |
| 1.20 to support > 2GB files; both lsattr and chattr wasn't reading |
| directories correctly because the change modified the layout of struct |
| dirent to be incompatible with the libe2p shared library. |
| |
| Cleaned up the mke2fs manual page and included a discussion about why |
| it's good to periodically check the filesystem even when journalling is |
| enabled. |
| |
| Programmer's notes: |
| ------------------- |
| |
| Fix general gcc -Wall complaints. |
| |
| The types needed by the ext2 header files are now provided by |
| lib/ext2fs/ext2_types.h, instead of include/asm/types.h. |
| |
| Integers are now preferred to longs when trying to find a 32-bit type |
| in ext2_types.h. Also, if linux/types.h has already been defined, |
| don't try to redefine the types. |
| |
| Fixed make depend script so that it automatically corrects the |
| pathname cleanups performed by make -M, so I don't have to fix them up |
| by hand. |
| |
| Fixed the d_loaddump test case to be more robust, and not depend on |
| bash'isms. |
| |
| Removed debugfs's dependence on pread(), which was accidentally |
| introduced in e2fsprogs 1.20 |
| |
| Fixed a performance bug in the libext2fs's icount routine; the size |
| estimate of the icount array was incorrectly being calculated. |
| |
| Removed use of the badblocks compatibility functions in the e2fsprogs |
| programs. |
| |
| Added paranoia code which protects against strange cases where /etc |
| isn't on the root filesystem, or if /etc/mtab doesn't exist. |
| |
| The header file ext2_types.h is now installed. |
| |
| Autoconf is used to determine when we are on big-endian machines, |
| instead of doing run-time tests, to save a few bytes of code. |
| |
| The ext2fs_mark_generic_bitmap and ext2fs_unmark_generic_bitmap |
| functions are no longer inline functions, which saves space and |
| doesn't really cost any real performance. |
| |
| The ext2fs library no longer depends on the e2p library. (What need |
| there was of it --- namely, fsetflags, was coded in-line). |
| |
| Fixed the makefile so that lib/ext2fs/ext2_types.h is generated even |
| when the user is stupid and tries compiling the package using "make |
| install" as root. |
| |
| Miscellaneous code cleanups: |
| * Added missing files from Makefile.in's SRCS file, so that |
| their dependencies would be properly calculated. |
| * Removed redundant code |
| * Fixed comments in code |
| * Removed no-longer needed argsused #pragma. |
