of the filesystem to determines its type.
fsck.c (fsck_device, ignore, interpret_type): Call identify_fs
if the type specified in /etc/fstab is "auto".
get_device_by_label.h (get_volume_label_by_spec): Add function prototype.
get_device_by_label.c: Use string_copy() instead of strdup() for
portability's sake. Fix a few other gcc -Wall complaints.
fsck.h, fsck.c (string_copy): Export string_copy() extern.
badblocks.c: Fix various gcc -Wall complaints, including an incorrect
reference to sync in flush_bufs().
ChangeLog, configure, configure.in:
configure.in: Add checks for the header files sys/mkdev.h and
sys/sysmacros.h.
fsck.c (device_already_active): Change to use new version of
base_device() which now returns dynamically allocated memory.
base_device.c (base_device): New version moved from fsck.c which now
understands ugly devfs names. (Debian bug #65181)
base_device.tst: Test case for base_device.c
fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a second
before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance to set the signal
handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an unhandled SIGUSR1.
* mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows the
user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used. Mke2fs now
chooses the filesystem parameters automatically based on the size of
the filesystem and the intended use of the filesystem. Add new option
-n which simply goes through the calculations to determine the
parameters of the filesystem the system would make.
* fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will print
completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems are being checked,
arrange to make sure that only one e2fsck process is displaying a
progress bar at a time.
