1 E2fsprogs 1.06 (October 7, 1996)
2 ================================
4 Fixed serious bug in e2fsck: if the block descriptors are bad, don't
5 smash the backup copies in ext2fs_close(). (The problem was that when
6 e2fsck -p discovered the problem, while it was closing the filesystem
7 and exiting, it was also blowing away the backup superblocks on the
8 disk, which was less than friendly.) We now make it the case that we
9 only write out the backup superblock and the back block descriptors if
10 the filesystem is completely free from problems.
12 Fixed a bug in block_interate in the lib/ext2fs library which caused
13 e2fsck to fail on GNU Hurd-created filesystems.
15 Add support for Linux/FT's bootloader, which actually uses
16 EXT2_BOOT_LOADER, and sets its mode bits which caused e2fsck to want
19 Add support for the "A" (no atime update) attribute. (Note: this
20 attribute is not yet in production kernels.)
22 The test suite is not automatically run when doing a "make all" from
23 the top level directory. Users should manually run "make check" if
24 they wish to run the test suite.
26 Upon a preenhalt(), make the printed message more explicit that
27 running e2fsck "MANUALLY" means without the -p or -a options.
29 In e2fsck, if a disconnected inode is zero-length, offer to clear it
30 instead of offering to connect it to lost+found.
32 In e2fsck, if a filesystem was just unmounted uncleanly, and needs
33 e2fsck to be run over it, change e2fsck to explicitly display this
36 For dumpe2fs and e2fsck, cause the -V option to print out which
37 version of the ext2fs library is actually getting used. (This will
38 help detect mismatches of using a 1.06 utility with a 1.05 library,
44 EXT2_SWAP_BYTES was changed to EXT2_FLAG_SWAP_BYTES, which better fits
45 the naming convention.
47 In ext2fs_initialize(), make sure the description for the inode bitmap
48 is correctly initialize.
50 Fixed minor type typo in ext2fs_allocate_generic_bitmap();
