Drop 55 on April 2, 2002 (jfs-2.4-1.0.17.tar.gz and jfsutils-1.0.17.tar.gz) includes fixes to the file system and utilities. Utilities changes - more rigorous dtree validation in fsck.jfs - fix fsck.jfs to write to the fsck.jfs log properly on big endian machines - fix xchklog to read the fsck.jfs log properly on big endian machines - fix xpeek to display/modify PXD information properly on big endian machines - replace fsck.jfs heartbeat with alarm() based heartbeat (Christoph Hellwig) - improve mkfs.jfs and fsck.jfs parameter parsing and usage alerts - messaging code cleanup, logredo code cleanup, general code cleanup (all) File System changes - Call sb_set_blocksize instead of set_blocksize in 2.5 (Christoph Hellwig) - Replace strtok by strsep (Christoph Hellwig) - Store entire device number in log superblock rather than just the minor. - Include file clean (Christoph Hellwig) - Fix race introduced by thread handling cleanups (Christoph Hellwig) - Detect dtree corruption to avoid infinite loop - JFS needs to include completion.h - Support external log(journal) device file system work part 1 (Christoph Hellwig) - Store device number in JFS superblock and log superblock. This adds robustness to external journal replaying in case the device number changes between reboots. - Superblock changes needed to support external journal. Removed some never-used fields and added a couple new ones. The external journal support is not yet in mkfs.jfs and fsck.jfs, but is coming soon.
