Public defrag release 0.73pjm1
NEWS
====
New in 0.73pjm1:
Uses configure script. Default location for binaries now ${prefix}/sbin
(where ${prefix} defaults to /usr/local).
Makefile more GNU standards compliant (but still requires GNU make).
e2defrag-specific news:
- Support blocksizes bigger than 1k.
- Accepts the following ext2 features: sparse_super, filetype, large_file,
compression.
- Checks the feature flags in the superblock, rejecting if any unknown
features used.
- Test suite available with `make check'. (Requires bzip2.)
- Attempt to support architectures other than i386. However, support
for big-endian architectures is still primitive (see BUGS section
in defrag.8 man page). You should definitely run the test suite
(`make check') if compiling on other than ix86 GNU/Linux.
New in 0.73:
Fixed access to ext2fs metadata on filesystems >4GB.
New in 0.71:
Added spec file for rpm packaging.
New in 0.70:
Tidied up colour support and attributes for fragmented blocks.
Added 64 bit device access support to allow use on filesystems >2GB.
Added a new e2defrag.static target with no graphic display support for
use on root floppies (for those who want to defragment their root
filesystem).
New in 0.62:
Thanks to Ulrich E. Habel (espero@b31.hadiko.de) for this update:
Picture mode is now colorized. Now ext2 V2 Inode-informations are read from
the Linux-Includes. A bug fixed in valid-check of filesystem.
New in 0.6:
New in 0.5 <development release>:
Just bug fixes and updated documentation. The Makefile is now
organised more sensibly.
New in 0.4:
A big thank-you to Alexey Vovenko for the ext2fs and xiafs support,
and for the picture mode. defrag now needs ncurses to compile.
Additional programs xdump and e2dump provide graphical summary of disk
usage on those filesystems.
Also included a modified "frag" program to report on filesystem
fragmentation. Improvements include better catering for indirect blocks
within a file and better summary statistics. "e2dump -f" reports more
accurate statistics if you have read access to the filesystem's block
device.
New in 0.3:
Inode sorting by arbitrary inode priority and badblocks for minix
filesystems are now supported.
