- Well, there is a bug in this release so I have released version alpha
- 10.1 today. In version alpha 10, when efsck corrected bad directory entries,
- it didn't write changes back to the disk so corrections were not recorded 8-(
-
- I strongly apologize for this bug. The new release which corrects this
- bug is now available for anonymous ftp from ftp-masi.ibp.fr [132.227.64.26] in
- the directory pub/linux/ALPHA/extfs and should be available soon on
- tsx-11.mit.edu.
-
- People who have already retrieved version alpha 10 can use the patch
- enclosed in this mail to upgrade to alpha 10.1.
-
- I feel sorry for the inconvenience and I hope that this version will
- FINALLY be able to correct bad directories.
