3*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker
4*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerFix brown-paper bug in mke2fs which caused it to segfault when
5*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Workerprinting the version string.

9*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker================================
10*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker
11*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerRevert the BLKGETSIZE64 support, since for some distributions, this
12*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Workerioctl has been used by an unofficial kernel patch to update the last
13*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Workersector on the disk, and this was causing disk corruption problems as a
14*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Workerresult.
15*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker
16*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerMke2fs is now more careful about zapping swap space signatures and
17*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Workerother filesystem/raid superblock magic values so that programs like
18*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Workermount who try to use heuristics to determine the filesystem type of a
19*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Workerpartition are less likely to be confused.
20*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker
21*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerE2fsck will no longer complain if the the mode of EXT2_RESIZE_INO is a
22*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Workerregular file (since Andreas Dilger's on-line resizing tools will set
23*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Workerits mode bits).
24*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker
25*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerFixed some minor texinfo, man pages nits for spelling errors,
26*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Workertexinfo warnings, etc.  (Addresses Debian bug #110621.)
27*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker
28*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerE2fsprogs program no longer print the filesystem version number
29*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker(i.e. 0.5b), since it only confuses people and doesn't serve any real
30*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Workerpurpose.
31*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker
32*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerE2fsck will once again compile under libc5, since it will supply its
33*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Workerown version of strnlen if necessary.
34*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker
35*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Workermke2fs and tune2fs will allow the use of UUID= or LABEL= specifiers
36*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Workerwhen specifying the external journal device.  tune2fs will also search
37*6a54128fSAndroid Build Coastguard Workerdevices looking for the external journal device when removing it.
