Date: Wed, 02 Dec 1998 20:18:45 -0800 From: Julian Elischer <julian@whistle.com> Organization: Whistle Communications To: current@freebsd.org CC: Kirk McKusick <mckusick@McKusick.COM>, Don Lewis <Don.Lewis@tsc.tdk.com> Subject: FreeBSD fsck updated References: <199811230603.WAA02649@salsa.gv.tsc.tdk.com> I have checked in kirk's newest fsck (well, a week or so old) This understands soft updates a bit better, and has some improved checks for orrupted filesystems and a few fixes.. We have also incorporated soem FreeBSD fixes in kirk's sources. What I have left are a few small patches (attached) that I'm not sure about. Two appear to be fro support for symlinks-in-inode denoted by a 0 block count. (I'm not sure about the correctness of them) (when was it done that way? 386BSD?) one is some extra pronouncements when some bits are found unset. whether we merge these old freebsd bits into the current new version is more a political matter.. What does everyone think? I now kirk doesn't like the noisy messages about the clean and modified bits.. julian I don't care one way or the other about the symlink compatibility. If there are folks still running that way, then that argues to keep it. On the other hand, if they are upgrading to 3.0, then it may be time for them to fix any remaining old-style links in their filesystem. I have commented already on my dislike of the noisy info about clean and modify bits. but here too, I do not feel strongly enough to make a big case out of it.
