Highlights for version 0.2.2
v0.2.2 - 11/04/01
- Support for Devfs
- If devfs is enabled in the kernel, all necessary device files for
discovered volumes will appear at boot time in /dev/evms.
- Updated code in engine for creating device files in the case when devfs
is not enabled.
- Dual on-disk copies of EVMS-native metadata (system data and
feature headers)
- Kernel and engine common code responsible for recognizing and reconciling
the redundant copies of system data and feature headers
- Individual plugins responsible for maintaining multiple copies of
their private metadata.
- LVM plugin
- Creating snapshot LVs and contiguous LVs, and deleting snapshot LVs.
- All metadata is now read/written in endian-neutral format
- Improved option handling and information displays.
- Default Segment Manager plugin
- Fixed a bug with removing the last segment from a disk.
- When assigning the segment manager to a new disk, it now adds OS/2 boot
sector code to the MBR.
- Drivelinking and BBR engine plugins now commit using the new
dual-metadata format.
- BBR discovery works, but there is a known I/O bug when running mkfs on
a BBR volume.
- OS/2 Region Manager
- Kernel and engine discovery of OS/2 compatibility volumes
- Kernel discovery of OS/2 LVM volumes
- Fixed kernel-side volume quiesce/rediscover bug
- Modifed kernel patching process
- EVMS package now comes with several small patches specific to particular
2.4 kernel versions for patching the common files modified by EVMS.
- See the EVMS-HOWTO for more details.
