mount/umount/swapon/swapoff(8) for Linux 0.97.3
|
||||
===============================================
|
||||
|
||||
The most significant improvement over the first release is the repair of
|
||||
at least a half dozen really dumb bugs, mostly involving null pointers.
|
||||
These bugs caused frequent core dumps and really made the code unusable.
|
||||
|
||||
Some race conditions in the lock handling code have been removed.
|
||||
|
||||
Swapoff is available for 0.97.3 and later kernels.
|
||||
|
||||
Swapon supports multiple swap files. In particular, swapon -a will try
|
||||
to enable swapping on all the swap entries in /etc/fstab.
|
||||
|
||||
File system specific mount options are now supported. This is of particular
|
||||
utility with Werner Almesberger's msdos fs.
|
||||
|
||||
Umount -a now reads /etc/mtab instead of /etc/fstab (thanks to David
|
||||
Engel for a valuable discussion on this and other points). In addition,
|
||||
it umounts the entries in reverse order, ensuring that it tries to umount
|
||||
/usr/spool before /usr, for instance.
|
||||
|
||||
Mount will now print mtab for ordinary users as well as for the superuser.
|
||||
Several people pointed out this deficiency, and it was a real no-brainer
|
||||
that broke it in the first release.
|
||||
|
||||
Thanks to Linus, for another great release. 0.97.3 compiled the first time
|
||||
out and is working flawlessly. Thanks also to Ross Biro, for his work on
|
||||
Linux TCP/IP which has made it much easier to get this little thing off my
|
||||
machine. Special thanks to everyone who put up with my bugs.
