Archive-name: auto/comp.os.linux/efsprogs-version-7


	The new version (alpha 7) of the ext fs programs (efsck and mkefs) is
available from ftp-masi.ibp.fr:pub/linux/ALPHA/extfs.  I have uploaded them
to tsx-11.mit.edu and they should appear soon in pub/linux/ALPHA/extfs.  The
files to get are :
	- efsprogs7.tar.Z : source and binaries,
	- efsprogs7.bin.tar.Z : binary programs only,
	- efsprogs7.src.tar.Z : source programs only.

	This version contains the following changes :
	- the Makefile now supports a dep target to create dependencies for
	  object files,
	- the computation of the maximal size of a file was broken in mkefs,
	  it is now fixed (note that this was not a big problem since the
	  ext file system never uses this value),
	- some bugs causing efsck to dump core when the free lists were
	  corrupted are fixed,
	- when salvaging the free lists or correcting the free inodes/blocks
	  counts, efsck did not write the changes to the disk.  Now, it does.
	- Wayne Davison has implemented a conversion from the old .badblocks
	  file to a reserved inode in efsck.  After conversion, the bad blocks
	  do not appear in a file any more so there is no risk to delete or
	  backup them.
