The most of changes are just bug fixes and speedups. StatData got wrong values sometimes. Tails were not converted back if had been converted to internal. Lost+found was not accessible sometimes due to wrong flag in metadata. Extra checks on --check and fixes on --fix-fixable were added for wrong st_nlinks, some info in internal tree. Some multiple checks during overwriting and relocation were eliminated. Etc. Added different block size support - 1k, 2k and for Alpha 8k. Kernel support we are going to include into 2.4.20. Support for bad block lists was added also but disabled for now due to some conflicts with the current kernel, which have not been solved yet. Verson numbering scheme was changed. Another pre release 3.6.3-pre1 is also available. It includes some great speedups for reiserfsck. -- Thanks, Vitaly Fertman ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 13+ messages in thread

It is a good idea since fsck improves with each release though ;-) -chris ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 13+ messages in thread

A part of the user space is kernel/system oriented, like fsck.* or util-linux (mount, chattr!) configuration tools or user-space parts of drivers, and there's a part of user-space that is unrelated. If the kernel related stuff (which usually is in /sbin) needs to be updated, that's fine even for a "stable" kernel. If the new reiserfs-progs fix a problem of an older version, then by all means go fix and update Documentation/Changes. There could be a new "recommended" column though which lists non-critical version updates. -- Matthias Andree ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 13+ messages in thread

What version does reiserfsck in this report. That way I can update CHANGES to indicate the 3.6.3 bits are required.

This bug was introduced in 3.6.2, so 3.x.1b was not affected. But 3.x.1b contains many other bugs which were fixed in 3.6.2. -- Thanks, Vitaly Fertman ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 13+ messages in thread
