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.
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)
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).
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.
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.
* Change e2fsck to bracket its progress bar output with ctrl-A and ctrl-B
characters, so that logsave -s can omit writing the progress bar output
to the log file.
in a log file, even if the containing directory hasn't been
mounted yet (in which case the it saves the output in
memory until it can write out the logfile).
main): Don't evaluate the filesystem type when loading the
fstab file, since that might cause fsck to hang trying to
read from a floppy disk. (Addresses Debian bug #187812)
Add tmpfs and devpts to filesystems that should be
ignored, and add jfs, reseirfs, and xfs as filesystems
types where we should complain if we can't find the fsck
program for that filesystem type.
code accidentally had the INDEX_FL backwards compatibility code
removed. E2fsck will now fix HTREE corruptions in preen mode, and
mke2fs will not create filesystems with the dir_index flag set
by default. (The user has to specifically request it.)
