Description Flags
Patch to allow gfs2_edit to operate on gfs1 file systems none

Description Robert Peterson 2006-11-08 17:47:00 UTC 
Description of problem:
The current gfs_edit program does not have any capabilities to
print GFS structures or any of the new gfs2_edit features.  It would
be nice to allow gfs2_edit be able to distinguish between a gfs1 and
gfs2 file system and be able to view, edit, and print gfs1 data
structures such as the superblock, root directory, rgindex, journal
index, etc.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL5 beta 1 with latest cluster software from HEAD

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. gfs2_edit /dev/gfs1_vg/gfs1_lvol
  
Actual results:
gfs2_edit treats a gfs1 fs as if it were gfs2.

Expected results:
gfs2_edit should flag the difference and allow printing of gfs1
data structures (i.e. superblock, directories, etc) when run on
a gfs1 file system.

Additional info:
I've already written changes to do this so I could use the print
function to help in debugging a customer issue involving a gfs1
file system.  I just wanted this bugzilla record to document these
code changes.

Comment 2 Robert Peterson 2006-11-09 15:35:01 UTC 
Code was committed to cvs for HEAD and RHEL5 that's better than the 
previous patch.  The previous patch did not correctly identify and
show/print some of the inode information that's changed from gfs1.
Also added a 'c' command to toggle the color scheme.  Also added a
few command and parameter synonyms like 'rgindex' for 'rindex' and
-help for -h.

This is much easier than trying to port the missing gfs2_edit
functionality to gfs_edit.
