e2initrd_helper, which obviates the need for using /bin/awk
and mounting/unmounting the root filesystem during the initrd
process. (Addresses Debian Bug #247775)
TUNE2FS_SKIP_MOUNT_CHECK is set, do not try
to check if the filesystem is mounted.
(update_feature_set): If the compatibility bitmasks were
not modified, don't set the superblock dirty bit.
some generated files, by having subst update the modtime on these
files even when the generated file hasn't changed. We do this with
generated files that do not have any downstream dependencies.
fixing up gcc -Wall nits. badblocks -t random was not
getting handled properly because ~0 needed to be cast to
an unsigned long instead of an unsigned char. (Addresses
Debian bug #234828)
the superblock and block group descriptors into two functions:
ext2fs_reserve_super_and_bgd, found in lib/ext2fs/alloc_sb.c, and
ext2fs_super_and_bgd_lock, found in lib/ext2fs/close.c.
Change e2fsck/pass1.c (mark_table_blocks), lib/ext2fs/closefs.c
(ext2fs_flush), lib/ext2fs/initialize.c (ext2fs_initialize),
and misc/dumpe2fs.c (list_desc) to use these functions.
e2fsck/ChangeLog
pass1.c (mark_table_blocks): Use the new function
ext2fs_reserve_super_and_bgd to calculate the blocks to be
reserved.
lib/ext2fs/ChangeLog
closefs.c (ext2fs_super_and_bgd_loc): New function which
centralizes the calculation of the superblock and block
group descriptors.
(ext2fs_flush): Use ext2fs_super_and_bgd_lock to figure
out where to write the superblock and block group
descriptors.
alloc_sb.c (ext2fs_reserve_super_and_bgd): New function which
reserves space in the block bitmap using
ext2fs_super_and_bgd_loc.
initialize.c (ext2fs_initialize): Use
ext2fs_reserve_super_and_bgd to initialize the block bitmap.
misc/ChangeLog
dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Use ext2fs_super_and_bgd_loc to
determine the locations of the superblock and block group
descriptors.
Mke2fs has been modified to honor the MKE2FS_SKIP_PROGRESS,
MKE2FS_DEVICE_SECTSIZE, and MKE2FS_SKIP_CHECK_MSG in order
facilitate the regression testing.
offset of the device is page aligned. (Addresses Debian
Bug #203713)
badblocks.c (test_ro, test_rw): Add code to recover after an
error so that we continue reading on page-aligned
boundaries. (Thanks to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for
the patch.)
new semantics: WAIT_ALL vs. WAIT_ATLEAST_ONE. This fixes
a bug where when fsck is waiting for another partition on
the same spindle, it spins wasting a lot of CPU.
test to honor the -c option (number of blocks at a time).
do_read and do_write will try to turn on the O_DIRECT flag
if it appears that it is possible to use it. (Addresses
Debian bug #198006)
device is larger than the default block size, then use the
sector size of the device as the default block size.
getsectsize.c (ext2fs_get_device_sectsize): New function which
returns the hardware sector size (if it is available).
by Thayne Harbaugh. These patches allow the -t option to
control the test pattern(s) used when checking the disk.
Test patterns may be specified in all modes (r/w, r/o and
non-destructive).
called for multiple passes.
(test_nd): Fix bug in chosing randomness for the
non-destructive test. We were only using 1 bit of
randomness per byte instead of 8 due to a bit-shift bug.
Also, initialize the random number generator from the time
in main(). Thanks to Thayne Harbaugh for pointing out
these bugs.
