New minor version
{{{
Hi,
btrfs-progs 4.7 have been released. Though it's a minor version release,
there
are changes that could be considered big but I don't see a reason to hold
them
until 4.8 is released.
There's expected bunch of bugfixes and improvements. The checker low-
memory
mode has been in devel for a few releases, still needs some work, but
releasing
it will allow for more testing. The improved error handling of
mkfs/convert
should potential problems if the process fails in the middle and leaves a
partially created filesystem behind.
Tentative plan for the next development is to port reiserfs conversion to
the
reworked convert and look again at the recent patchsets for dumping
extents/chunks or send stream.
Changes:
* check:
* new optional mode: optimized for low memory usage (memory/io
tradeoff)
* --mode=lowmem, not default, still considered experimental
* does not work with --repair yet
* convert: regression fix, ext2_subvol/image rw permissions
* mkfs/convert:
* two-staged creation, partially created filesystem will not be
recognized
* improved error handling (fewer BUG_ONs)
* convert: preparation for more filesystems to convert from
* documentation updates: quota, qgroup
* other
* message updates
* more tests
* more build options, enhanced debugging
