- I have uploaded version 1.8 of my generic fsck/mkfs frond-end to
- sunsite.unc.edu and tsx-11.mit.edu. Look for fsutil-1.8.tar.z in
- the usual places. The following is an excerpt from the README.
-
- This is version 1.8 of my generic, front-end for fsck and mkfs. This
- little utility takes the guess-work out of trying to remember the
- often cryptic name for a particular file system-specific utility. In
- most cases, you can simply type 'fsck /dev/xyz' without regard to the
- file system type. Mkfs is similarly supported, but is (IMO) of
- dubious value. When invoked as fsck, it also supports a 'check all'
- option.
-
- Changes from version 1.7 to 1.8
-
- Ignore filesystems using the noauto option (usually on
- removable media) when checking all filesystems. Suggested
- by Pascal Haible (haible@izfm.uni-stuttgart.de).
-
- Fixed bug which caused the first filesystem-specific
- option to not be passed on when checking all filesystems.
- Reported by Rob Getter (rxg3321@ultb.isc.rit.edu).
