util-linux: version bumped to 2.17.
Release highlights:
fallocate:
- this NEW COMMAND is a command line interface to fallocate
Linux syscall and allows to preallocate blocks to a file.
unshare
- this NEW COMMAND is a command line interface to unshare Linux syscall
and allows to run program with some namespaces unshared from parent.
wipefs
- this NEW COMMAND is based on libblkid and allows to remove filesystem
or RAID signatures from a device.
libblkid:
- libblkid allows to gather information about block device topology,
currently supported methods are:
* ioctl - supported since kernel 2.6.32
* sysfs - supported since kernel 2.6.31
* fallback for DM, MD, LVM and EVMS on old kernels (base on code
from xfsprogs/libdisk)
The topology support is mostly designed for mkfs programs or partitioning
tools (already used in mkfs.xfs, mkex2fs, libparted and fdisk)
- libblkid supports partition tables parsing (currently supported are
aix, bsd, dos, mac, gpt, minix, sgi, solaris, sun and unixware). This
functionality is designed for mkfs programs, DeviceKits, [k]partx or so.
- libblkid API documentation is available at
http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux-ng/libblkid-docs/
blockdev:
- supports all new topology ioctls
fdisk:
- the fdisk command aligns newly created partitions to minimum_io_size
boundary ("minimum_io_size" is physical sector size or stripe chunk
size on RAIDs).
- the fdisk command supports disks with alignment_offset now.
