It now checks +the i_size value of fast symlinks, and checks for immutable flags +being set of symlinks, etc. + +E2image can now create "raw" image files, which only contain the +filesystem metadata placed in a spare file so that e2fsck, dumpe2fs, +debugfs, etc., can be run directly on the raw image file. Add support for the 64-bit block device patches. Fixed bugs in creating external journals with a 1k blocksize. +Add initial support for external journals (so long as the external +journal only supports a single filesystem) in e2fsck. + +Remove requirement for needing to run fsck on a filesystem after +removing a journal (either internal or external). + The man pages now document how to create and manage external journals. Speed up the check of an ext3 filesystems by avoiding a needless flush of all of the superblock and block group descriptors. +Speed up creating an internal journal using tune2fs in the case where +the filesystem has a lot blocks already allocated. + +Fixed a minor bug in mke2fs; if -O none is passed to mke2fs, it will +now not set the sparse_super feature. + Add support in fsck for the filesystem type "auto". E2fsck now gives an explicit warning if there filesystem still has errors at the end of the run. (Addresses Debian bug #104502) -E2fsck now checks for the immutable flag in symlinks, and offers to -clear them. +E2fsck will set the EXT2_ERROR_FS flag if the journal superblock +reflects an error. + +E2fsck now prints the number of large files when given the -v option. + +Fixed minor memory leaks in e2fsck. Some minor man pages updates. (Addresses Debian bug #30833) |
