gfs2-utils 3.2.0 released

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,

I am happy to announce the 3.2.0 release of gfs2-utils. This is an important release adding support for new on-disk features introduced in the 4.16 kernel. In fact it is required when building against 4.16 and later kernel headers due to poor assumptions made by earlier gfs2-utils relating to structure size changes. Building earlier gfs2-utils against 4.16 headers will result in test suite failures. (Thanks to Valentin Vidic for reporting these issues.)

This release adds basic support for new gfs2 on-disk features:

  * Resource group header CRCs
  * "Next resource group" pointers in resource groups
  * Journal log header block CRCs
  * Journal log header timestamp fields
  * Statfs accounting fields in journal log headers

Future releases will build on this work to take advantage of these new features, particularly for improving checking and performance.

Other notable changes:

* mkfs.gfs2 now scales down the journal size to make better use of small devices by default
  * Better detection of bad device topology
  * fsck.gfs2 no longer accepts conflicting -p, -n and -y options
  * Saving of symlinks in gfs2_edit savemeta has been fixed
  * Fixes for issues caught by static analysis and new compiler warnings
  * New test cases in the testsuite
  * Various minor code cleanups and improvements

See below for a complete list of changes.

The source tarball is available from:

Regards,
Andy
