Package: e2fsprogs Version: 1.39+1.40-WIP-2006.11.14+dfsg-2 Severity: wishlist
hi Ted Brief background: I am currently trying to replace a old HD in a box running an old Ubuntu; to this end , I created a similar set of partitions in new HD using Debian/Etch, and started copying data in the new HD (and this will take a long time); but I realized that the old partitions had Filesystem features: has_journal filetype needs_recovery sparse_super while the newly created one have Filesystem features: has_journal resize_inode dir_index filetype needs_recovery sparse_super large_file Since the Ubuntu box uses Linux 2.6.12-10-386 e2fsprogs 1.38-2ubuntu1 I would like to know if those flags are supported ; but I checked the docs, both in the Debian packages and in http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net/ and could not understand it. So here is my wishlist : may you document these facts? For example: whenever you add a new feature to ext2 / ext3 , may you add a line in the release notes of e2fsprogs, saying "release 1.xx : added feature XXX_XXX, and this needs linux >= 2.2.ZZ " thanks in advance a. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-amd64 Locale: LANG=it_IT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=it_IT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages e2fsprogs depends on: ii e2fslibs 1.39+1.40-WIP-2006.11.14+dfsg-2 ext2 filesystem libraries ii libblkid 1.39+1.40-WIP-2006.11.14+dfsg-2 block device id library ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcomer 1.39+1.40-WIP-2006.11.14+dfsg-2 common error description library ii libss2 1.39+1.40-WIP-2006.11.14+dfsg-2 command-line interface parsing lib ii libuuid1 1.39+1.40-WIP-2006.11.14+dfsg-2 universally unique id library e2fsprogs recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- Andrea Mennucc "The EULA sounds like it was written by a team of lawyers who want to tell me what I can't do, and the GPL sounds like it was written by a human being who wants me to know what I can do."
