Date: Mon, 8 Nov 1999 22:28:35 GMT From: "Stephen C. Tweedie" <sct@redhat.com> To: linux-fsdevel@vger.rutgers.edu Subject: Announce: ext3-0.0.2c Hi, You can now find ext3-0.0.2c at ftp://ftp.uk.linux.org/pub/linux/sct/fs/jfs/ext3-0.0.2c.tar.gz including full patches for 2.2.13 and for the standard Red Hat-6.1 kernels. Changes in this release ----------------------- in 0.0.2c: Lots of fixes to the way we set the filesystem's NEEDS_RECOVERY flag. It should basically get this right now. This flag is the thing that prevents you from accidentally running e2fsck on a filesystem which still needs kernel attention after a crash or unclean shutdown. Fixed releasing of the journal inode when unmounting a readonly ext3 filesystem. There is also an updated readme which tells you much more about creating ext3 filesystems, and about e2fsck for ext3. Don't run this code on software raid: we're still working on ironing out some problems between the conflicting requirements of raid and journaling on the buffer cache. --Stephen ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Linux HA Web Site: http://linux-ha.org/ Linux HA HOWTO: http://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/ALPHA/linux-ha/High-Availability-HOWTO.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
