E2fsprogs 1.17 (October 26, 1999) ================================= Fixed nasty typo in fsck which caused parallelized fsck's to go into an infinite loop. Fixed a bug in fsck where it used strncmp to compare a binary UUID, thus potentially causing problems if a binary UUID contained a NULL character. E2fsck now uses stricter checks for directory entries in pass 2: zero-length filenames are not allowed; neither are 8 byte long directory entries. The debugfs "dirty" command now clears the filesystem valid bit. (Previously this just set the dirty-as-in-needs-writing-out-to-disk bit in the in-core superblock image. The new functionality is more what the user expects, and is more useful.) Added a debugging hook to test parallel fsck; if the environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL, then filesystems on the same drive will be checked in parallel when they normally would not be. Programmer's notes: ------------------- Fixed some #ifdef's for compilation under the Hurd OS. Fixed minor W2K compatibility problems. Fixed some miscellaneous GCC warnings.
