E2fsprogs 1.10 (April 24, 1997)
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs once again defaults to creating revision #0 filesystems, since
|
|
people were complaining about breaking compatibility with 1.2 kernels.
|
|
Warning messages were added to the mke2fs and tune2fs man pages that
|
|
the sparse superblock option isn't supported by most kernels yet (1.2
|
|
and 2.0 both don't support parse superblocks.)
|
|
|
|
Added new flag to mke2fs, -R <raid options>, which allows the user to
|
|
tell mke2fs about the RAID configuration of the filesystem. Currently
|
|
the only supported raid option is "stride" which specifies the width
|
|
of the RAID stripe.
|
|
|
|
Fixed bug in e2fsck where pass1b would bomb out if there were any
|
|
blocks marked bad in the inode table.
|
|
|
|
Fixed rare bug in mke2fs where if the user had a very unlucky number
|
|
of blocks in a filesystem (probability less than .002) the resulting
|
|
filesystem would be corrupt in the last block group.
|
|
|
|
Fixed bug where if e2fsck tried to allocate a block to fix a
|
|
filesystem corruption problem and the filesystem had no free blocks,
|
|
ext2fs_new_block() would loop forever.
|
|
|
|
The configure script now checks explicitly to see if "-static" works,
|
|
since that can't be assumed to be true --- RedHat doesn't install
|
|
libc-static by default.
|
|
|
|
Fixed bug in libext2's block iterator functions where under some
|
|
circumstances, file with holes would cause the bcount parameter to the
|
|
callback function to be incorrect. This bug didn't affect any of
|
|
e2fsprogs programs, but it was discovered by Paul Mackerras, the
|
|
author of the PPC boot loader.
|
|
|
|
Removed use of static variables to store the inode cache in libext2fs.
|
|
This caused problems if more than one filesystem was accessed via
|
|
libext2fs (static variables in libraries are generally a bad idea).
|
|
Again, this didn't affect e2fsprogs programs, but it was discovered by
|
|
Paul Mackerras.
|
|
|
|
Fixed minor bugs and version code drift to assure that e2fsprogs 1.10
|
|
will compile cleanly with 1.2.13 kernels (even with a.out shared
|
|
libraries!)

Programmer's notes:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Added new functions to duplicate an ext2 filesystem handle, and its
|
|
associated substructure. New functions: ext2fs_dup_handle(),
|
|
ext2fs_copy_dblist(), ext2fs_badblocks_copy(), ext2fs_copy_bitmap().
|
|
Other structures, such as the io_channel and the inode_cache, now have
|
|
a ref count so that they only get freed when they are no longer used
|
|
by any filesystem handle. (These functions were added as part of the
|
|
development effort for an ext2 resizer).
