e2fsprogs 1.36-WIP (September 19, 2004)
|
||||
=======================================
|
||||
|
||||
Fixed two potential ordering constraint problems in e2fsck which might
|
||||
cause the filesystem to be corrupted if e2fsck is interrupted during a
|
||||
(extremely narrow) race window. Thanks to Junfeng Yang from the
|
||||
Stanford Metacompilation group for pointing this out.
|
||||
|
||||
Fixed bug in e2fsck where it would not accurately detect whether or
|
||||
not the system is running on adaptor if the ACPI device representing
|
||||
the AC adapter didn't correspond to the what was used on IBM
|
||||
Thinkpads.
|
||||
|
||||
Change e2fsck to accept directories greater than 32MB.
|
||||
|
||||
Fix e2fsck so that a checkinterval of zero disables a time-based check
|
||||
of the filesystem.
|
||||
|
||||
Debugfs will check the DEBUGFS_PAGER enviroment variable in preference
|
||||
to the PAGER environment variable. (Addresses Debian Bug #239547)
|
||||
|
||||
Tune2fs will not mark rewrite the superblock if the feature bitmasks
|
||||
are not modified.
|
||||
|
||||
The debugfs program will set the filetype information when creating a
|
||||
link.
|
||||
|
||||
Add debugfs -d option to use a separate source of data blocks when
|
||||
reading from an e2image file.
|
||||
|
||||
Add e2image -I option which allows the e2image metadata to be
|
||||
installed into a filesystem.
|
||||
|
||||
Fixed bug in the badblocks program which caused "done" to always
|
||||
appear in english even when a translation was available. (Addresses
|
||||
Debian Bug #252836)
|
||||
|
||||
The blkid program has a new option -o which controls the output format
|
||||
of the blkid program; this is makes blkid more convenient to use in
|
||||
shell scripts.
|
||||
|
||||
Fix a minor bug in uuid library, which was not using the full 14 bits
|
||||
of clock sequence when generating UUID's.
|
||||
|
||||
Fix a Y8.8888K problem in the uuid library.
|
||||
|
||||
Logsave now creates a new session id for itself to avoid getting
|
||||
killed by init whan transitioning between init levels.
|
||||
|
||||
Change the licensing of the UUID library to be the 3-clause BSD-style
|
||||
license; this allows Apple to use the uuid library in Darwin.
|
||||
|
||||
Add ocfs and ocfs2 probe support into the blkid library.
|
||||
|
||||
Fix a memory and file descriptor leak in the blkid library.
|
||||
|
||||
The blkid library will revalidate the device if the system time is
|
||||
earlier than last verification time of the device, since that
|
||||
indicates that the system time is probably nottrustworthy.
|
||||
|
||||
The blkid library will override the default location of the blkid.tab
|
||||
file by the BLKID_FILE environment variable, if it is available.
|
||||
|
||||
Change the getsize functions to use the BLKGETSIZE64 ioctl on Linux 2.6.
|
||||
|
||||
Add various portability fixes for lame new versions of glibc, Darwin
|
||||
and GNU/KFreeBSD, as well as removing XSI:ism's. (Addresses Debian
|
||||
Bugs #239934, #264630, #269044, #255589)
|
||||
|
||||
Updated and clarified various man pages. (Addresses Debian Bugs #236383,
|
||||
#241940, #238741, #242995, #256669, #268148, #256760)
|
||||
|
||||
Updated and fixed translations. (Addresses Debian bugs #244105, #262836)
|
||||
|
||||
Update the rpm spec files so that it works better with Fedora core 2
|
||||
and RH9.
|
||||
|
||||
Fixed various Debian packaging issues (see debian/changelog). In
|
||||
particular, fixed the Debian initrd scripts. (#241183, #248050,
|
||||
#253595, #247775)
|
||||

||||
Programmer's notes:
|
||||
-------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Fixed various compiler warnings.
|
||||
|
||||
The uuid library now has new functions uuid_unparse_upper() and
|
||||
uuid_unparse_lower() which forces the case of the hex digits to be
|
||||
upper case, or lower case.
|
||||
|
||||
The build process has been speeded up by enhancing the subst program
|
||||
to update the modtime on the generated files even when the generated
|
||||
file hasn't changed.
|
||||
|
||||
The uuid library now uses C99 stdint.h types instead of custom types.
|
||||
|
||||
Updated config.guess and config.sub with newer versions from the FSF.
|
||||
|
||||
Removed out of date .cvsignore files from the source distribution.
|
||||
|
||||
Fix build of mke2fs.static.
|
||||
|
||||
The test_io mechanism can now abort after n reads or writes to a
|
||||
particular block. The block is specified by TEST_IO_BLOCK environment
|
||||
variable, and the read/write count by the TEST_IO_READ_ABORT and
|
||||
TEST_IO_WRITE_ABORT environment variables. The block data is now only
|
||||
dumped if the 0x10 bit is set in TEST_IO_FLAGS.
|
||||
|
||||
UUID_DEFINE() in the uuid library now creates a static variable, with
|
||||
__attribute__ ((unused)) if we are using GCC, so that UUID_DEFINE can
|
||||
be used in header files.
