new semantics: WAIT_ALL vs. WAIT_ATLEAST_ONE. This fixes
a bug where when fsck is waiting for another partition on
the same spindle, it spins wasting a lot of CPU.
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.
test to honor the -c option (number of blocks at a time).
do_read and do_write will try to turn on the O_DIRECT flag
if it appears that it is possible to use it. (Addresses
Debian bug #198006)
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).
parameter, and make the error and information messages
display explicitly the blocksize used by the filesystem,
to avoid confusion. (Addresses Debian bug: #189814)
util.c (reset_getopt), debugfs.c (do_open_filesys,
do_show_super_stats), ls.c (do_list_dir), dump.c (do_dump),
htree.c (do_htree_dump, do_dx_hash), logdump.c (do_logdump):
Define and use a new function, reset_getopt(), which does whatever
is necessary to reset getopt() again. This is different for
different implementations, so the portabilty issues are a bit of a
nightmare. (Addresses Debian bug #192834)
* Remove e2fsprogs-bf package, as it is obsolete. (Closes: #183453)
* Remove NLS support from e2fsprogs-udeb. Save 5.5k on the boot
floppies / install media.
by Thayne Harbaugh. These patches allow the -t option to
control the test pattern(s) used when checking the disk.
Test patterns may be specified in all modes (r/w, r/o and
non-destructive).
called for multiple passes.
(test_nd): Fix bug in chosing randomness for the
non-destructive test. We were only using 1 bit of
randomness per byte instead of 8 due to a bit-shift bug.
Also, initialize the random number generator from the time
in main(). Thanks to Thayne Harbaugh for pointing out
these bugs.
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.
