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.
e2fsck_simple_progress): Don't print the ^A and ^B
characters which bracket the progress bar when the e2fsck
program is talking directly to a tty, but only when it is
being piped to another program. (Addresses Debian bug
#204137)
unix.c: Move some initialized variables to the BSS segment to
shrink the size of the e2fsck executable.
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.
inode counters from the block group specific counters
quietly. This is needed for an experimental patch which
eliminates locking the entire filesystem when allocating
blocks or inodes; if the filesystem is not unmounted
cleanly, the global counts may not be accurate.
a single directory block (because this is the easy case;
we don't currently check for duplicates that span
directory blocks, for now. Eventually for htree
directories we can do this by searching for all directory
blocks that have a hash overflow, and then searching the
adjacent blocks to find all other potential duplicates.)
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.)
