- RCC:> For people that downloaded the efsprogs version alpha 5,
- RCC:>DON'T USE THEM !!! In version alpha 5, efsck contains a bug which
- RCC:>can cause some great damages on an ext fs. The bug is fixed in
- RCC:>the new version (alpha 6) which is available on ftp-masi.ibp.fr
- RCC:>in the directory pub/linux/ALPHA/extfs (files efsprogs6.tar.Z,
- RCC:>efsprogs6.bin.tar.Z, efsprogs6.src.tar.Z) and I expect them to
- RCC:>be available on tsx-11 in directory pub/linux/ALPHA/extfs soon.
-
- RCC:>Changes from alpha 5 to alpha 6 are :
- RCC:>- in efsck, a bad test on directory structures is fixed,
- RCC:>- efsck and mkefs now use getopt() to decode arguments,
- RCC:>- mkefs now accepts a -i option to specify the ratio of inodes.
-
- RCC:> I strongly apologize for the bug in efsck :-{

- Thats great to hear.
-
- I have a question for you. I am running Linux 0.97pl1 (where is L.T's 0.5
- patch?), and your extfs alpha 5 system (will up to 6 this weekend), and the
- dosfs extensions.
-
- My question is: Why when I boot Linux I get a magic match failed but Linux
- mounts the extended file system correctly anyways? Is this just an fluke
- message poping up?
-
- /etc/mtab: (citing this from memory)
- /dev/hda2 / ext default
-
- /etc/rc:
- mount -av
-
- Besides that little message the file system works great! Now I just
- need to get the source code to everything and recompile it!
