Hi
Fresh reiserfsprogs
(ftp.namesys.com/pub/reiserfsprogs/reiserfsprogs-3.x.0k.tar.gz) is now
available.
It became much more stable since 3.x.0j version, but any bug report
is appreciated.
New features:
We have 5 modes now:
--check consistency checking (default)
--fix-fixable fix corruptions which can be fixed w/o --rebuild-tree
--rebuild-sb super block checking and rebuilding if needed
(require rebuild-tree afterwards)
--rebuild-tree force fsck to rebuild filesystem from scratch
(takes a long time)
And the last one is --clean-attributes - clean garbage in reserved fields in
StatDatas on fs, which is useful only if you are going to use
O-inode-attrs.patch, or just want to clean garbage from StatDatas.
This option does not check/recover anything.
reiserfstune - a tool to to change journal parameters for existing
filesystems, allow to have non-standard journal of different size or on
another device.
mkreiserfs can create fs with non-standard journal.
/reiserfsck/debugreiserfs changed to work with relocated journal.
(do not forget that you can use reiserfs with relocated journal with
journal-relocated.patch only. As the patch was not released yet, some options
are still hidden)
lost+found's mode is set to drwx------ after lost+found pass
reiserfsck exits with 0 if there were no corruptions found, 1 if there were
only corruptions fixable by --fix-fixable or 2 if --rebuild-tree is required
New options:
fix-non-critical became simplier and was moved to adjust-file-size option
(fix file sizes to real size), can be used in fix-fixable and
rebuild-tree modes.
Many hidden features were added to help debugging and recovering a broken fs.
Bug fixes:
there were quite a few of them
