E2fsprogs 1.26-WIP (November 26, 2001)
======================================
Fixed a bug in e2fsck where it wasn't allocating a new block or inode
bitmap if it wasn't present and the blocksize was 2k or 4k.
(Addresses Debian Bug #116975)
E2fsck will check and fix botched ext3 V1 to V2 superblock updates by
clearing the new V2 fields if they do not make sense or if the ext3
superblock is version 1 superblock.
E2fsck will automatically relocate the ext3 journal from a visible
file (i.e., /.journal) to an hidden inode if the filesystem has been
opened read/write. This allows the users to add a journal while the
filesystem is mounted, but the next time the system is rebooted, the
journal file will disappear. This avoids problems with backups,
stupid operators with superuser bits, etc.
Fix a bug in fsck where it would not support a filesystem type of
"auto" if the device was specified in terms of LABEL=xxx or UUID=xxx.
Work around a bug in 2.4.10+ kernels by trying to unset the filesize
limit if at all possible, when opening a block device. (The filesize
limit shouldn't be applied against writes to a block device.)
Mke2fs now automatically clears the immutable attribute on a
pre-existing .journal file left over from a previous failed attempt to
add a journal to an alreadyy-mounted filesystem.
Fixed mke2fs's exit codes to consistently indicate when the mke2fs
operation failed.
Speed up e2image when creating sparse raw image files by optimizing
away excess lseek() system calls.
Fix support of large (> 2GB) files when used as a filesystem in
mke2fs, tune2fs, debugfs, and findsuper.
Debugfs's stat and icheck commands now properly deals with large (>
2GB) files.
Debugfs's set_super_value command now prints out the list of valid
superblock fields which can be set using the command.
Add support for a new ext2 file attribute, EXT2_NOTAIL_FL, which will
be used to signal that a particular inode should not be eligible for
tail-merging --- this is needed for programs like LILO.
The findsuper (an unreleased, uninstalled utility program) has been
improved to add extra validity checks and to add a progress meter.
(It is still an unsupported program; the officially supported way to
recover from a trashed partition table is to use gpart; findsuper is
for wizards only. :-)
Debugfs was fixed to compile with "configure --disable-swapfs".
Cleaned up various manual pages. (Addresses Debian bug #119624)
Added new translation file for Turkish.
