1E2fsprogs 1.31 (November 8, 2002)
2=================================
3
4Update EVMS ext2fsim plugin with EVMS 1.2.  (We still support
5compiling the fsim plugin with EVMS 1.0 and 1.1.)  Add better error
6handling for child process that die unexpectedly.  Add a hack to force
7mkfs to create filesystems that won't cause problems with hardware
8that has 2k or 4k minimum blocksize requirements.  Read from child
9processes in non-blocking mode, so that the GUI continues to update.
10
11Fix e2fsck so that it returns the appropriate exit code when the root
12filesystem has been changed, so that system's rc scripts will be told that
13the system needs to be rebooted.
14
15Fix a bug in ext2fs_flush/ext2fs_close; when the MASTER_SB_ONLY flag
16was set, some of the descriptor blocks that should have been written
17out were getting skipped.
18
19Changed e2fsck to force out changes to the backup copies of the
20superblock and block group descriptors when important changes are made
21to those data structures.
22
23Fix a bug where e2fsck could erroneously mark a filesystem as being
24clean if a check of dirty filesystem is interrupted with a ^C.  (Bug
25introduced in e2fsprogs 1.28.)
26
27If journal debugging is enabled using --enable-jbd-debug, the debugging
28level is now set via the E2FSCK_JBD_DEBUG environment variable.
29
30If byteswapping support is disabled using configure --disable-swapfs,
31skip the tests which depend on byte-swapping, so that "make check"
32won't bomb out.
33
34Lsattr will now display the indexed directory flag.  Also, some of
35the more esoteric compression flags are suppressed unless compression
36support has been enabled.
37
38Update man pages.
