Release highlights
------------------
lsblk(8):
- this NEW COMMAND lists information about all or selected block devices
in
tree-like format.
partx(8):
- this command has been rewritten to use libblkid for partition tables
parsing. It supports aix, bsd, dos, gpt, mac, minix, sgi, solaris_x86,
sun,
ultrix and unixware now.
- supports new command line option "--show" to list partitions in new
format
- prints UUID and name for GPT and mac partitions
findmnt(8):
- supports new command line option "--submounts" to list all submounts
for
selected mountpoint(s)
agetty(8):
- supports new command line options "-c" and "-s" to reuse already
initialized
tty cflags and existing baud rate
mount(8), umount(8):
- could be linked with libmount (--enable-libmount-mount) to manage
userspace
mount options outside /etc/mtab on systems where the file is a symlink
to
/proc/mounts. (EXPERIMENTAL)
losetup(8), mount(8):
- uses /sys/dev/block/<device>/loop/backing_file rather than loopdev
ioctls
(requires kernel >= 2.6.37)

- supports new command line option "-l" to lock whole-disk device by
exclusive flock(2). This option is recommended when more fsck(8)
instances
are executed in the same time.

- supports new mode "show" to print the current RTC alarm time
fstrim(8):
- this NEW COMMAND allows to discard unused blocks on a mounted
filesystem
