| E2fsprogs 1.03 (March 27, 1996) |
| =============================== |
| |
| Change the m68k bit numbering for bitmasks to match the bit numbering |
| used by all other ext2 implementations. (This change was requested by |
| the m68k kernel development team.) |
| |
| Support (in-development) filesystem format revision which supports |
| (among other things) dynamically sized inodes. |
| |
| Fixed a bug in the ext2 library so that an intelligent error is |
| returned if mke2fs is run with a ridiculously small number of blocks |
| for a partition. |
| |
| Fixed a bug in the ext2 library which required that the device be |
| openable in read/write mode in order to determine its size. This |
| caused e2fsck -n to require read/write access when it was not |
| previously necessary. |
| |
| Fixed a bug in e2fsck which casued it to occasionally fail the test |
| suite depending on which version of the floating point library it was |
| using. |
| |
| Fixed a bug in e2fsck so that it now halts with a fatal error when |
| certain superblock consistency checks fail. Previously it continued |
| running e2fsck, with some potential confusing/damaging consequences. |
| |
| Added new flag to fsck which allows the root to be checked in parallel |
| with other filesytems. This is not the safest thing in the world to |
| do, but some system administrators really wanted it. |
| |
| |
| E2fsprogs 1.02 (January 16, 1996) |
| ================================= |
| |
| Fix to allow e2fsprogs to be compiled on recent 1.3 (pl45+) kernels. |
| |
| Change e2fsck to print statistics of how many non-contiguous files are |
| on the system. Note that a file which is larger than 8k blocks, it is |
| guaranteed to be non-contiguous. |
| |
| In mke2fs, print a warning message if a user tries to format a whole |
| disk (/dev/hda versus /dev/hda1). If a user really wants to format a |
| whole disk, the -F (force) option forces mke2fs to format a whole disk |
| as a filesytem. |
| |
| Fix a bug in fsck where in some cases it might start checking |
| partitions in the next pass before it finishes checking partitions in |
| the current pass. This still won't cause two partitions on the same |
| disk will be checked, so it's rarely a problem in real life. |
| |
| Patch lsattr so that it won't hang when checking a named pipe. |
| |
| Minor compilation fixes: |
| * Fix the order of libraries that were linked in debugfs. |
| * Allow the sources to be compiled with -ansi turned on. |
