superblock. E2fsck will automatically save the journal information
in the superblock if it is not there already, and will use it if the
journal inode appears to be corrupted. ext2fs_add_journal_inode()
will also save the backup information, so that new filesystems
created by mke2fs and filesystems that have journals added via
tune2fs will 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.
The debugfs man page has been improved to more fully describe the
logdump command.
Added two new functions, ext2fs_file_open2() and
ext2fs_inode_io_intern2() which take a pointer to an inode structure;
this is needed so that e2fsck and debugfs can synthesize a
fake journal inode and use it to access the journal.
mke2fs.c (PRS): Applied Andreas Dilger's patch to make the -r -s
handling a bit more sane. (Even though -s is deprecated at this
point.)
ChangeLog, expect.1:
f_journal: Update to take into account new printing by the e2fsck
program.
version.h:
Update for upcoming WIP release.
random_exercise.c: New file which feeds a lot of file creations and
deletions (while leaving the file descriptor open, and then closing
the file descriptor later). This generates lots of fodder for the
orphan list code, as well as for the ext3 journal.
hold_inode.c: New file which holds an inode or a directory open (for
testing orphan list code).
ChangeLog, run_e2fsck, expect.1, expect.2, image.gz, name, expect:
run_e2fsck: Filter out JFS DEBUG messages when comparing e2fsck output.
f_journal: New test case which checks out running the ext3 journal.
f_orphan: New test case which checks clearing the list of orphan
inodes (files and directories).
f_swapfs/expect: Update to reflect new debugfs format for dumping the
blocks of an inode.
