* xfsprogs: minimum version with these commands @ 2010-08-29 9:20 Bogdan 2010-08-30 1:52 ` Eric Sandeen 0 siblings, 1 reply; 8+ messages in thread From: Bogdan @ 2010-08-29 9:20 UTC (permalink / raw) To: xfs Hello. I couldn't find this information in the xfsprogs ChangeLog, so I'm asking here: what is the minimum version of xfsprogs to: 1) contain these utilities: xfs_db, xfs_freeze, xfs_check, and 2) xfs_db accepts the following command-line parameters: -i, -c, and 3) xfs_freeze accepts the following command-line parameters: -f, -u, and 4) xfs_db accepts the following interactive mode commands: "freesp -d", "quit", "blockget -n", "ncheck", "sb 0", "print". Or is there a ChangeLog that covers all xfsprogs versions in such deatil that I would be able to find this myself? If so, where can I find it? -- Pozdrawiam/Regards - Bogdan (GNU/Linux & FreeDOS) Kurs asemblera x86 (DOS, GNU/Linux):http://rudy.mif.pg.gda.pl/~bogdro Grupy dyskusyjne o asm: pl.comp.lang.asm alt.pl.asm alt.pl.asm.win32 www.Xiph.org www.TorProject.org Soft (EN): miniurl.pl/bogdro-soft _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@oss.sgi.com http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

Most of the things you ask about are SO OLD it will take some digging through renames and moves. Do you really need to know if "xfs_check" was added in 1994, or 1995, for example? :) This strikes me as a bit of an odd question; what is your motivation here? -Eric _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@oss.sgi.com http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

The version number, not the year. > This strikes me as a bit of an odd question; what is your motivation here? I'm writing a program that executes xfs_db and other processes, passes commands to them and reads replies. Now I want to know what the minimum required version is to be sure that these commands are accepted. I know this might seem strange, but I'd like to know this in more detail, so I can say "requires xfsprogs version X.Y.Z or newer" instead of "requires xfsprogs" (which would imply that all versions work, and this might not be the case). If it would be "1.0.0", great.

It could have been, but if it was "quit" from day one, that's never going to make it to a changelog. :) >>> Or is there a ChangeLog that covers all xfsprogs versions in such >>> deatil that I would be able to find this myself?

The version number, not the year. well, equivalently, do you care if it was version 1.0.0 or 1.0.1, from the 1990's era. For everything you asked about, I think they've all been there since inception. I think picking a version from maybe 5 years ago and checking that the commands are all there would suffice; it would be -very- unlikely that anything older is still in use. >> This strikes me as a bit of an odd question; what is your motivation here? > > I'm writing a program that executes xfs_db and other processes, > passes commands to them and reads replies.

I think the fastest route, since nothing you asked for is particularly "new" would be to just grab a sufficiently old version and double check that the commands are there.

Hopefully. I got some versions like 2.0.3 and 2.7.11.
