constraint problem if we don't write things out in the
right order.
or writes to a particular block. The block is specified by
TEST_IO_BLOCK environment variable, and the read/write count
by the TEST_IO_READ_ABORT and TEST_IO_WRITE_ABORT environment
variables. The block data is now only dumped if the 0x10 bit
is set in TEST_IO_FLAGS.

the superblock and block group descriptors into two functions:
ext2fs_reserve_super_and_bgd, found in lib/ext2fs/alloc_sb.c, and
ext2fs_super_and_bgd_lock, found in lib/ext2fs/close.c.
Change e2fsck/pass1.c (mark_table_blocks), lib/ext2fs/closefs.c
(ext2fs_flush), lib/ext2fs/initialize.c (ext2fs_initialize),
and misc/dumpe2fs.c (list_desc) to use these functions.
e2fsck/ChangeLog
pass1.c (mark_table_blocks): Use the new function
ext2fs_reserve_super_and_bgd to calculate the blocks to be
reserved.
lib/ext2fs/ChangeLog
closefs.c (ext2fs_super_and_bgd_loc): New function which
centralizes the calculation of the superblock and block
group descriptors.
(ext2fs_flush): Use ext2fs_super_and_bgd_lock to figure
out where to write the superblock and block group
descriptors.
alloc_sb.c (ext2fs_reserve_super_and_bgd): New function which
reserves space in the block bitmap using
ext2fs_super_and_bgd_loc.
initialize.c (ext2fs_initialize): Use
ext2fs_reserve_super_and_bgd to initialize the block bitmap.
misc/ChangeLog
dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Use ext2fs_super_and_bgd_loc to
determine the locations of the superblock and block group
descriptors.
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.
error, then reflect that error upwards; don't try again
(forever). This prevents an infinite loop when /proc and
the /etc/blkid.tab file are not present.
non-empty bad block list. Resize2fs now discards any blocks on the
badblock list which are no longer part of the filesystem as the result
of a filesystem shrink. (Note: this means that shrinking and then
enlarging a filesystem is no longer a reversible operation;
information about bad blocks in the part of the filesystem
which is to be chopped off will be lost.)
device is larger than the default block size, then use the
sector size of the device as the default block size.
getsectsize.c (ext2fs_get_device_sectsize): New function which
returns the hardware sector size (if it is available).
Declare comerr-dev as replacing << e2fslibs-dev 1.33-2, to avoid
errors when upgrading to the new versions of comerr-dev and
e2fslibs-dev
Declare init_error_table as taking a long for the second argument.
Add support for OV-style continuation (closes Debian bug #191900).
Move /usr/include/com_err.h from the e2fslibs-dev package to the
comerr-dev package. (closes Debian bug #191899)
tune2fs to use the test I/O manager.
The test I/O manager has been changed to not do anything extra by
default, unless the TEST_IO_FLAGS and/or TEST_IO_BLOCK environment
variables are set, which controls what I/O operations are logged and
a block number to watch, respectively. The log messages are sent to
stderr by default, unless a filename is specified via the
TEST_IO_LOGFILE environment variable.
Fix typo's in README.subset
Change debian control file so it doesn't bomb out if the EVMS FSIM
is not there, since it is not built on the Hurd. Resolves Debian
bug #189687.
Fixed possible hangs caused by bugs in calling waitpid, and not
setting the pipe to non-blocking mode. Also fixed a file descriptor
leak. Made sure all functions call log entry/exit functions.
from the system PRNG (i.e., random/srandom, seeded from
the time, pid, and uid) in case /dev/random isn't doing
the right thing on a particular system. It doesn't hurt,
and it can help, in the case of a buggy /dev/random.
instead of <com_err.h>, so the current version of the header file
is used.
Add a --build-tree option to compile_et to make sure that it uses
the et_?.awk files from the build tree.
Remove legacy support for varargs.h, K&R C, and pre-POSIX signal
support. Also fixed gcc -Wall nits.
structure from the internal error_table.h to com_err.h,
since it now needs to be public.
et_c.awk, et_h.awk: Import changes from krb5's et library so
that the error_table structure is defined and available
publically.
error_message.c: Import krb5 and heimdall com_err extensions to
the et library.
1) Only one tag with a particular name can be attached to a device
at a time. This significantly simplifies the library, and was needed
to allow the cache file to be re-read and changes integrated into the
in-core version of the data structure in a simpler fashion than earlier
versions of the library.
2) To accomodate this, the ext2/ext3 filesystems are now always tagged
as "ext2" type filesystems. Ext3 filesystems are tagged with a
SEC_TYPE tag with the value ext3.
3) The new blkid_read_cache() function checks the mod time of the
cache file, and if the file has been changed since the last time the
cache file was read into memory, it is re-read. This function is now
called before probing all of the devices in the system or searching
all devices in the cache for a specific tag value.
4) After probing all devices, blkid_flush_cache() is called to write
out the cache file. This assures that all of the hard work involved
in doing a blkid_probe_all() is saved to disk.
read.c (parse_tag): Do not return that blkid_tag when parsing
the blkid.tag file.
resolve.c (blkid_get_token, blkid_get_tagname_devname): Fold in
code from removed functions
tag.c (blkid_create_tag): Don't return the newly tag strcture
any more, as it's not needed.
(blkid_find_tag_cache, blkid_get_tag_cache,
blkid_token_to_tag, blkid_find_tv_tags): Remove these
functions, as they are either only used once or have
interfaces that should be deprecated.
(blkid_find_tag_dev, blkid_find_head_cache): Replace use
of blkid_tag with one or two const char * type/value
arguments.
(blkid_find_dev_with_tag): Fold in code from removed functions
probe.h, probe.c: Use a more sophisticated set of byte-swapping
routines which are more compact and efficient. Drop
calculation of bid_free, since it's unnecessary. Avoid
save.c (blkid_save_cache): Set the permissions on the blkid
cache file to 644.
large number of inodes, then reduce the number of blocks
per group until we find a workable set of filesystem
parameters.
ext2_err.et.in (EXT2_ET_TOO_MANY_INODES): Add new error code.
unix_write_blk): Optimize routines so that we don't end up
searching the cache twice when a block isn't in the
cache. If reads are larger than READ_DIRECT_SIZE, don't
let them go through the cache.
blocks to be erroneously marked as dirty, so they would
get written back to the disk before they are evicted from
the cache. Harmless, but it slows down e2fsck
significantly.
Disable certain tests that depend on the byteswapping functions
being present so that "make check" succeeds even if --disable-swapfs
is passed to the configure script.
support for loopback-mounted filesystems. Check /etc/mtab
if /proc/mounts doesn't turn up any mount flags, since
/etc/mtab has the loopback image filename, instead of
/dev/loop0. Also, check based on st_dev and st_ino, so
that if a relative pathname or a pathnames using symbolic
links are used, we can detect the the filesystem correctly
in those cases. (Addresses Sourceforge bug #619119)
don't try the FDFLUSH ioctl that was required for floppies
with older kernels. This avoids needless whining from the
MD device driver. (Addresses Sourceforge bug #545832).
wrong group_block to ext2fs_descriptor_block_loc if we're
using the backup superblock/block group descriptors.
(ext2fs_descriptor_block_loc): If we're using the backup
superblock descriptors, use the backup descriptor block in
the next block group.
the filesystem was created. It is set via mke2fs, and printed
via list_super2() (which is called by dumpe2fs).
Also, list_super2() will now print "n/a" if the last mount time
(s_mtime) is zero.
When byte-swapping a filesystem on a PPC architecture, byte-swap
the bitmaps since the historical big-endian ext2 variant had
byte-swapped bitmaps, and the ext2fs library assumes this. Otherwise
the regression test suite will fail...
using a non-zero hash version (i.e., half MD4 or TEA hash).
The hash version wasn't getting copied into dx_dir->hashversion and
this caused the kernel to treat all directories if they were using the
legacy hash, which was Bad.
