2010-08-04Documentation: update broken web addresses.Justin P. Mattock1-1/+2
Below you will find an updated version from the original series bunching all patches into one big patch updating broken web addresses that are located in Documentation/* Some of the addresses date as far far back as 1995 etc... so searching became a bit difficult, the best way to deal with these is to use web.archive.org to locate these addresses that are outdated. Now there are also some addresses pointing to .spec files some are located, but some(after searching on the companies site)where still no where to be found. In this case I just changed the address to the company site this way the users can contact the company and they can locate them for the users. Signed-off-by: Justin P.

2009-08-01vfat: change the default from shortname=lower to shortname=mixedPaul Wise1-1/+1
Because, with "shortname=lower", copying one FAT filesystem tree to another FAT filesystem tree using Linux results in semantically different filesystems. (E.g.: Filenames which were once "all uppercase" are now "all lowercase"). So, this changes the default of "shortname=lower" to "shortname=mixed".

2009-06-03FAT: add 'errors' mount optionDenis Karpov1-0/+5
On severe errors FAT remounts itself in read-only mode. Allow to specify FAT fs desired behavior through 'errors' mount option: panic, continue or remount read-only. `mount -t [fat|vfat] -o errors=[panic,remount-ro,continue] \ <bdev> <mount point>` This is analog to ext2 fs 'errors' mount option.

2008-11-07fat: Fix ATTR_RO for directoryOGAWA Hirofumi1-0/+8
FAT has the ATTR_RO (read-only) attribute. But on Windows, the ATTR_RO of the directory will be just ignored actually, and is used by only applications as flag. E.g. it's setted for the customized folder by Explorer. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa969337.aspx This adds "rodir" option. If user specified it, ATTR_RO is used as read-only flag even if it's the directory. Otherwise, inode->i_mode is not used to hold ATTR_RO (i.e. fat_mode_can_save_ro() returns 0).

2008-11-07fat: document additional vfat mount optionsBart Trojanowski1-2/+22
While debugging a sync mount regression on vfat I noticed that there were mount options parsed by the driver that were not documented.

2008-04-28fat: Add allow_utime optionOGAWA Hirofumi1-0/+15
Normally utime(2) checks current process is owner of the file, or it has CAP_FOWNER capability. But FAT filesystem doesn't have uid/gid as on disk info, so normal check is too unflexible. With this option you can relax it.

2007-05-08fat: don't use free_clusters for fat32OGAWA Hirofumi1-0/+7
It seems that the recent Windows changed specification, and it's undocumented. Windows doesn't update ->free_clusters correctly. This patch doesn't use ->free_clusters by default. (instead, add "usefree" for forcing to use it) Signed-off-by: OGAWA Hirofumi <hirofumi@mail.parknet.co.jp> Cc: Juergen Beisert <juergen127@kreuzholzen.de> Cc: Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2005-04-17Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds1-0/+231
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
