Add a new function to the blkid library, blkid_probe_all_new().
Optimize blkid_find_dev_with_tag() so that extraneous device validation are
skipped. (Makes a difference for system with a large number of disks).
original versions of the files, so as to avoid rebuilding files when not
necessary. Also fixes a potential SMP/Parallel build problem when one

environment variables if the libraries are called from setuid or setguid
programs, or if kernel believes that the process is not eligible to create
a core dump. In addition, if the libc has __secure_getenv(), use it so that
the libc can also do any additional limitations regarding when libraries can
trust environment variables (i.e., to integrate with systems like SELinux
and Posix capabilities).

There are a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the original lustre fsck
BK repository. The biggest one is that this extended attribute values must
be aligned on 4-byte boundaries.
a new inode we make sure that the extra information in the inode (any extra
fields in a large inode and any ea-in-inode information) is cleared. This
can happen when e2fsck creates a new root inode or a new lost+found directory,
or when the user uses the debugfs write, mknod, or mkdir commands. Otherwise,
the newly create inode could inherit garbage (or old EA information) from
a previously deleted inode.

Remove support for the --enable-old-bitops configure option which
was only for very old sparc systems.

Also expose blkid_verify() as a public function to the blkid library.

Also make sure that if a partition has a label removed, that the label is
removed form the blkid cache as well.
Add support for detecting 32k and 64k pagesize swap files.
unspecified, to avoid doing something surprising (such as unconditionally
deleting the first directory entry). Directory entries are now deleted
by coalescing them with the previous directory entry if possible, to
avoid directory fragmentation. This is not an issue with the e2fsprogs suite,
but may be a problem for some of the users of libext2fs, such as e2tools.
that mount will try to use the vfat filesystem. (Addresses Debian bug #287455)
Similarly, the blkid library will now return an ext3 type for ext 2/3
filesystems that have the journal capability set.
We allow files to be probed by the blkid library, to make it easier to
test the library. However, we also added safety checks to avoid saving
relative pathnames to blkid.tab, and probe_one() will only check block device
files.

resize_inode changes tickled in a much more repeatable fashion.

ext2fs_create_resize_inode() will return a proper error code if the
resize inode is corrupt, instead of returning -1.
res_gdt.c (list_backups), closefs.c (ext2fs_bg_has_super),
ext2fs.h: Move ext2fs_list_backups() to res_gdt.c, and
ext2fs_bg_has_super() back to closefs.c. There's no
reason for the new file, since list_backups() isn't being
used by any other functions, and can be made static, and
all users of the ext2fs filesystem will have to call
ext2fs_close() anyway.

Update Makefile dependencies.
Update "make depend" production so that it filters out comments
inserted by newer gcc compilers.
Remove sync from e2fsck's "make all" target.
example, /tmp/test.img?offset=1024. Multiple options can separated using
the & character, although at the moment the only option implemented is
the offset option in the unix_io layer.
Change the maximum allowable blocksize to be 65536. This allows e2fsck to
check filesystems with a pagesize of 65536, and mke2fs to accept -b 65536.
Of course such a filesystem will not currently work on a Linux/x86 system,
at least not as of this writing!
