The RELEASE-NOTES file was getting too big as be unweildy. It also made it hard to have simultaneous releases of older maintenance releases. So split it up into smaller files in the doc/RelNotes directory. Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

E2fsprogs 1.35 (February 28, 2004)
|
|
==================================
|
|
|
|
E2fsck has a new -k option, which in conjunction with the -c options,
|
|
preserves the existing badblocks list.
|
|
|
|
Cleaned up e2fsck's preen-mode messages during the passes 1b, 1c, and 1d.
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs will now deal correctly with symlinks that contain
|
|
extended attribute information, which can be created using SE Linux.
|
|
(Addresses Debian Bug #232328)
|
|
|
|
Remove a double longjmp into an invalid stack frame bug in e2fsck.
|
|
(This was during an abort sequence, which normally worked on Linux and
|
|
caused a core dump on other operating systems.)
|
|
|
|
Fix NLS bug in e2fsck, by avoiding trying to expand an empty string
|
|
(the NLS library will replace "" with the .po header information).
|
|
|
|
Fix a bug in mke2fs which caused -T largefile or -T largefile4 to core
|
|
dump due to a division by zero error. (Addresses Debian bug #207082)
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug in e2fsck which caused it to incorrectly fix a filesystem
|
|
when reconnecting a directory requires creating a lost+found
|
|
directory. (Addresses Debian bug #219640).
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug where e2fsck would bomb out if a journal needed to be
|
|
replayed when using an alternate superblock.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will give an extra grace period before actually forcing a check
|
|
if the laptop is running on battery. The next time fsck runs while
|
|
the system is on the AC mains, or after the grace period is exceeded,
|
|
the filesystem will be checked. (Addresses Debian bug #205177)
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will inform the user when there are 5 or fewer mounts before a
|
|
filesystem check will be forced. (Addresses Debian bug #157194)
|
|
|
|
Fix e2fsck's handling of corrupted indirect blocks in the bad block.
|
|
We now correctly handle the case where there is an overlap between a
|
|
block group descriptor or a superblock and a bad block indirect block.
|
|
In the case where the indirect block is corrupted, we now suggest
|
|
"e2fsck -c".
|
|
|
|
Fix byte swap bugs in e2fsck that caused the journal backup location
|
|
in the superblock and symlinks created by SE Linux to be cleared
|
|
by e2fsck on big-endian machines. (Addresses Debian bug #228723)
|
|
|
|
E2fsck -c now replaces the current list of bad blocks with the ones
|
|
found by badblocks.
|
|
|
|
Fix bugs in e2fsck and tune2fs which could cause a core dump if a
|
|
non-existent LABEL or UUID specifier is to e2fsck or tune2fs.
|
|
|
|
Fix a potential bug in e2fsck which could cause it to core dump when
|
|
trying to print the location of the backup superblock.
|
|
|
|
Protect against a potential core dump in e2fsck when printing a
|
|
message about backup superblocks.
|
|
|
|
Add support for backing up the journal inode location in the
|
|
superblock. E2fsck will automatically save the journal information in
|
|
the superblock if it is not there already, and will use it if the
|
|
journal inode appears to be corrupted. ext2fs_add_journal_inode()
|
|
will also save the backup information, so that new filesystems created
|
|
by mke2fs and filesystems that have journals added via tune2fs will
|
|
also have journal location written to the superblock as well.
|
|
Debugfs's logdump command has been enhanced so that it can use the
|
|
journal information in the superblock.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will now update all superblocks when moving the journal inode.
|
|
|
|
Shrink the size of the e2fsck executable by moving some initialized
|
|
variables to the BSS segment.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will avoid printing the ^A and ^B characters which bracket the
|
|
progress bar when stdout and stdin are a tty device instead of a pipe
|
|
to another program. (Addresses Debian bug #204137)
|
|
|
|
Debugfs's mkdir command will automatically expand the directory if
|
|
necessary. (Addresses Debian Bug: #217892)
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug in debugfs so that copying a file from /dev/null uses the
|
|
correct mode bits. (Addresses Debian Bug: #217456)
|
|
|
|
If the environment variables DEBUFS_PAGER and PAGER are not set,
|
|
debugfs now searches for the appropriate pager to use, beginning with
|
|
/usr/bin/pager, and then falling back to 'more' and 'less'.
|
|
(Addresses Debian bug #221977)
|
|
|
|
Debugfs will now support 2.6 device numbers where the major or minor
|
|
number may be larger than 255. (Addresses Sourceforge bug #865289)
|
|
|
|
Fix debugging printf in resize2fs. (Addresses Debian Bug #271605)
|
|
|
|
Chattr now stops processing options when it sees '--'. (Addresses
|
|
Debian bug #225188)
|
|
|
|
Fix regression tests so they work correctly when e2fsprogs is compiled
|
|
with configure --disable-htree.
|
|
|
|
Fix bug in uuid library when there is no network card and the library
|
|
is generating a time-based uuid. The random MAC address was not
|
|
correctly generated to be a multicast address.
|
|
|
|
Add compile_et extensions from Heimdall that were missed the first time
|
|
around.
|
|
|
|
Fix bug in badblocks when using O_DIRECT; we need to make sure that
|
|
we're reading from an offset which is page aligned. For read-only and
|
|
read-write tests, we try to recover after an error so that we can
|
|
continue reading on page-aligned boundaries. (Addresses Debian Bug
|
|
#203713)
|
|
|
|
Badblocks now checks 64 blocks at a time instead of 16. (Addresses
|
|
Debian bug #232240)
|
|
|
|
Updated and clarified various man pages. (Addresses Debian Bug
|
|
#206845, #222606, #214920, #232406)
|
|
|
|
Updated and fixed translations. (Addresses Debian bugs #200086, #214633)
|
|
|
|
Fixed various Debian packaging issues (see debian/changelog).
|
|

Programmer's notes:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Fixed a build problem so that e2fsprogs would compile with the
|
|
--enable-profile option to configure selected. (Addresses Sourceforge
|
|
bug #811408)
|
|
|
|
Fixed C++ problems with the ext2fs.h header. (Addresses Red Hat
|
|
Bugzilla Bug #112448)
|
|
|
|
Centralize code which calculates the location of the superblock
|
|
and block group descriptors so that it is in a single library routine.
|
|
|
|
Added two new functions, ext2fs_file_open2() and
|
|
ext2fs_inode_io_intern2() which take a pointer to an inode structure.
|
|
|
|
Fix compile_et to output the correct prototype for
|
|
initialize_xxx_err_table_r() in the header file. (Addresses Debian
|
|
bug #204332)
|
|
|
|
In the lib/et makefile, make sure com_err.info is deleted on "make clean".
|
|
|
|
Fix 64-bit warnings in e2fsprogs pass1b by using inttypes.h if
|
|
present. This is for when we try stuffing an int into void * pointer.
|
|
|
|
Fix type-punning which can cause gcc 3.x to miscompile code by getting
|
|
confused about pointer aliasing. ext2fs_getmem(), ext2fs_free_mem(),
|
|
and ext2fs_resize_mem() all now take a 'void *' instead of a 'void
|
|
**'. The EVMS code uses an ugly union approach since we don't want to
|
|
modify the EVMS interfaces.
|
|
|
|
Make sure all Makefiles use $(MAKE) rather than hardcoded "make", to
|
|
aid build process on systems can use invoke GNU make as "gmake".
|
|
|
|
Added regression testing for mke2fs.
|
|
|
|
Fixed gcc -Wall nitpicks.
|
|
|
|
Fixed various compiler warnings.
|
|
|
|
Add portability fixes for FreeBSD and for using fsctl under Darwin to
|
|
support ext2 ioctl's.
