1*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerE2fsprogs 1.23 (August 15, 2001) 2*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker================================ 3*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker 4*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerAdd initial support for extended attributes (EA); e2fsck will 5*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Workercorrectly handle a filesystem with EA's and check the EA blocks for 6*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Workercorruptions. 7*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker 8*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerE2fsck's symlink sanity checking has been cleaned up. It now checks 9*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Workerthe i_size value of fast symlinks, and checks for immutable flags 10*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Workerbeing set of symlinks, etc. 11*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker 12*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerE2fsck now offers to clear inodes which are special files that have a 13*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Workernon-zero i_blocks or i_size field. (The i_size field check was in the 14*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Workerprevious version of the code, but due to a bug it didn't offer to 15*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Workerclear the inode unless i_size and i_size_high were both non-zero.) 16*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker 17*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerE2image can now create "raw" image files, which only contain the 18*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Workerfilesystem metadata placed in a spare file so that e2fsck, dumpe2fs, 19*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Workerdebugfs, etc., can be run directly on the raw image file. 20*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker 21*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerAdd support for the 64-bit block device patches. 22*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker 23*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerFixed bugs in creating external journals with a 1k blocksize. 24*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker 25*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerAdd initial support for external journals (so long as the external 26*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Workerjournal only supports a single filesystem) in e2fsck. 27*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker 28*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerRemove requirement for needing to run fsck on a filesystem after 29*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Workerremoving a journal (either internal or external). 30*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker 31*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerThe man pages now document how to create and manage external journals. 32*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker 33*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerSpeed up the check of an ext3 filesystems by avoiding a needless flush 34*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Workerof all of the superblock and block group descriptors. 35*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker 36*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerSpeed up creating an internal journal using tune2fs in the case where 37*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Workerthe filesystem has a lot blocks already allocated. 38*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker 39*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerTune2fs has been fixed to make sure that only error messages go to 40*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Workerstderr, and normal message go to stdout. (Addresses Debian bug #108555) 41*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker 42*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerFixed a minor bug in mke2fs; if -O none is passed to mke2fs, it will 43*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Workernow not set the sparse_super feature. (Addresses Debian bug #108165) 44*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker 45*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerAdd support in fsck for the filesystem type "auto". 46*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker 47*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerFsck -A will not try to interpret device names for filesystems which 48*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Workerhave a pass number is 0. (Addresses Debian bug #106696). 49*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker 50*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerFsck prints a warning message if now valid filesystems are passed to 51*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Workerit. (Addresses Debian Bug #107458.) 52*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker 53*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerE2fsck now gives an explicit warning if there filesystem still has 54*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Workererrors at the end of the run. (Addresses Debian bug #104502) 55*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker 56*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerE2fsck will set the EXT2_ERROR_FS flag if the journal superblock 57*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Workerreflects an error. E2fsck will also not run the orphan list if the 58*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Workerfilesystem contains errors, since the orphan list might be corrupted. 59*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker 60*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerE2fsck now prints the number of large files when given the -v option. 61*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker 62*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerFixed minor memory leaks in e2fsck. 63*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker 64*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerSome minor man pages updates.
