========================================================

|

Add support to badblocks to limit how quickly it reads from the disk
|

drive (so it can be used for background scrubbing), and so it will

abort after finding a given number of errors.

field in the superblock is in the future. (Addresses Debian Bug:

Enhance mke2fs to print a more explanatory error message when

ext2fs_get_device_size() returns EFBIG. (Addresses Debian Bug:

Fix mke2fs to use a default block size of 4k when formatting an
|
||||
external journal device. This is done by using a fixed filesystem
|

type list that consists only of the single filesystem type "journal"
|

when looking up configuration keys in /etc/mke2fs.conf. (Addresses

Debian Bug: #488663)

Speed up how mke2fs writes the journal data blocks by writing the disk

blocks in larger chunks.

|

Fix blkid handling of stale devices. Fix a bug which could cause a
|
||||
core dump while garbage collecting the blkid cache, and assure that
|
||||
blkid_find_dev_with_tag() never returns a non-existent device. Also,
|

if a filesystem is found at a new /dev location, eliminate any

duplicate stale entries which can not be verified.

Add more paranoid checks for LVM volumes and swap partitions in

blkid's probe function, to reduce the chances of false positives.
