E2fsprogs 1.25 (September 20, 2001)
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
This is primarily a bug-fix release; no new features were added, but
|
|
there are a number of embarrassing bug fixes and cleanups applied.
|
|
|
|
Fix a bug mke2fs which causes stack garbage to be written to disk when
|
|
zapping disk sectors. (This bug could cause mke2fs to core dump for
|
|
some kernels, I suspect with security enhancement patches.)
|
|
|
|
Remove unneeded #include of <linux/config.h> which was breaking
|
|
building e2fsprogs on the Hurd. (Addresses Debian bug #112414.)
|
|
|
|
Updated tune2fs man page to reflect the fact that adding or removing a
|
|
journal doesn't require running e2fsck.
|
|
|
|
Remove use of AC_REQUIRE from autoconf which had been used to prevent
|
|
AC_CANONICAL_HOST from being called twice; unfortunately this causes
|
|
recent autoconf to bomb out since they don't allow AC_REQUIRE to be
|
|
used outside of autoconf macros. Fortunately, it doesn't seem to be
|
|
necessary any more, anyway.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will now not fall back to an alternate superblock if the user
|
|
specifies the superblock location explicitly on the command-line.
|
|
This allows easier recovery from a situation where the primary
|
|
superblock and block groups are slightly corrupted, but the backup
|
|
superblocks are completely broken.
|
|
|
|
Fix problem which caused compile_et and mk_cmds to blow up if
|
|
e2fsprogs was in a directory with a pathname that contained spaces.
|
|
|
|
We are now more paranoid about checking the entry in /etc/mtab to make
|
|
sure the filesystem is really mounted, since some broken distributions
|
|
(read: Slackware) don't initialize /etc/mtab before checking non-root
|
|
filesystems. (Slackware also doesn't check the root filesystem
|
|
separately, and reboot if the root filesystem had changes applied to
|
|
it, which is dangerous and broken, but there's nothing I can do about
|
|
that.)
|
|
|
|
Make UUID library C++ friendly by adding appropriate extern "C"
|
|
declarations and using const in the function declarations.
|
|
|
|
Fix up the com_err texinfo file so that it can product a valid info
|
|
file (previously, it could only be used to generate paper
|
|
documentation using texinfo.tex).
