===================================
E2fsprogs 1.35-WIP (December 7, 2003)
=====================================
Fix a bug in mke2fs which caused -T largefile or -T largefile4 to core
dump due to a division by zero error. (Addresses Debian bug #207082)
E2fsck will give an extra grace period before actually forcing a check
if the laptop is running on battery. The next time fsck runs while
the system is on the AC mains, or after the grace period is exceeded,
the filesystem will be checked. (Addresses Debian bug #205177)
E2fsck will inform the user when there are 5 or fewer mounts before a
filesystem check will be forced. (Addresses Debian bug #157194)
Fix e2fsck's handling of corrupted indirect blocks in the bad block.
We now correctly handle the case where there is an overlap between a
block group descriptor or a superblock and a bad block indirect block.
In the case where the indirect block is corrupted, we now suggest
"e2fsck -c".
E2fsck -c now replaces the current list of bad blocks with the ones
found by badblocks.
Fix bugs in e2fsck and tune2fs which could cause a core dump if a
non-existent LABEL or UUID specifier is to e2fsck or tune2fs.
Fix a potential bug in e2fsck which could cause it to core dump when
trying to print the location of the backup superblock.
Protect against a potential core dump in e2fsck when printing a
message about backup superblocks.
Add support for backing up the journal inode location in the
superblock. E2fsck will automatically save the journal information in

also have journal location written to the superblock as well.
Debugfs's logdump command has been enhanced so that it can use the
journal information in the superblock.
E2fsck will now update all superblocks when moving the journal inode.
Shrink the size of the e2fsck executable by moving some initialized
variables to the BSS segment.

Programmer's notes:
-------------------
Centralize code which calculates the location of the superblock
and block group descriptors so that it is in a single library routine.
Added two new functions, ext2fs_file_open2() and
ext2fs_inode_io_intern2() which take a pointer to an inode structure.

Make sure all Makefiles use $(MAKE) rather than hardcoded "make", to
aid build process on systems can use invoke GNU make as "gmake".
Added regression testing for mke2fs.
Fixed gcc -Wall nitpicks.

Need to process the bad block inode *before* doing the inod scan.
Also check to see if the first block of the inode table is not on the
bad block scan, and fix that. We need to check for an inaccurate
blocks, and fix them before we start doing anything else with the
filesystem!
