+
+2005-09-21  Markus Klotzbuecher  <mk@mary>
+
+	* new release 0.6.1
+
+	* fix of a compiler warning due to changes in 2.6.13
+
+2005-09-21  Klaus Wenninger  <[email protected]>
+
+	* file.c: readdir: fix for a bug that caused directory entries
+          to show up twice when using storage filesystems such as
+          minixfs or pramfs.
+
+2005-06-30  Eric Lammerts <[email protected]>
+
+	* fix for an oops when overwriting a binary thats beeing
+          executed.
+
+2005-06-09    <mk@mary>
+
+	* Renamed overlay to mini_fo-overlay.
+
+	* Added mini_fo-merge script to allow merging of storage and base
+	after making modifications.
+
+2005-05-22  root  <mk@mary>
+
+	* Added overlay script that allows to easily mount mini_fo ontop
+	of a given base directory
+
+2005-05-10    <mk@mary>
+
+	* inode.c: xattr functions return -EOPNOSUPP instead of
+          -ENOSUPP, what confuses "ls -l"
+
+	* Changed license from LGPL to GPL.
+
+2005-05-08  root  <mk@mary>
+
+	* Makefile: clean it up and added make install and make
+          uninstall.
+	
+2005-05-06    <mk@mary>
+
+	* merged devel branch back to main. [v0-6-0-pre3]
+
+	* removed unused files print.c and fist_ioctl. [devel-0-0-18]
+
+	* ioctl: removed fist_ioctl stuff, that is not needed for
+          now.
+
+2005-05-03    <mk@mary>
+
+	* file.c: simplified mini_fo_open and mini_fo_setattr using
+          new state changing functions. [devel-0-0-17]
+
+	* inode.c: Fixed getattr state bug (see below) in 2.4 function
+          mini_fo_inode revalidate.
+
+	* inode.c: found an other bug in mini_fo_getattr. States are not
+	  reliable in this function, as a file can be opened, unlinked and
+	  the getattr function called. This results in a deleted dentry
+	  with an inode. Fix is to ignore states and simply use the inode
+	  available.
+
+2005-04-29    <mk@mary>
+
+	* file.c: Bugfix and cleanup in fasync and fsync. [devel-0-0-16]
+
+	* file.c: do not use mini_fo_lock so the generic version is
+          used (I guess).
+
+	* inode.c: getattr, never call getattr on lower files, as this
+          will cause the inum to change.
+
+	* inode.c: rename_reg_file renamed to rename_nondir, as it
+          doesn't matter as long it't not a dir. Removed all
+          rename_dev_file etc. 	  
+
+	* tagged as devel-0-0-15
+
+	* inode.c: added support for chosing support for extended
+          attrs at compile time by XATTR define in mini_fo.h .
+
+	* inode.c: fixed mini_fo_getattr to use mini_fo inode and not
+          lower again, what avoids inode number changes that confused
+          rm again. This is the proper solution.
+
+2005-04-24    <mk@mary>
+
+	* all files: updated Copyright notive to 2005. [devel-0-0-14]
+
+	* inode.c: fixed mini_fo_getattr to not change the inode
+          number, even if lower files change.
+
+	* super.c: fixed a bug that caused deleted base file to show
+          up suddenly after some time, or after creating a special
+          file. The problem was that after some time or after special
+          file creating sync_sb_inodes is called by the vfs, that
+          called our mini_fo_put_inode. There was (wrongly) called
+          __meta_put_lists, that nuked the lists, although the inode
+          was going to continue its life. Moving __meta_put_lists to
+          mini_fo_clear_inode, where an inode is really destroyed,
+          solved the problem.
+
+
+2005-04-23    <mk@mary>
+
+	* state.c, aux.c: more cleaning up and
+          simplifications. [devel-0-0-13] 
+
+	* inode.c: implemented mini_fo_getattr, that was required for
+          2.6 because inode_revalidate has been remove there, and the
+	  old "du" bug returned.
+
+
+2005-04-20    <mk@mary>
+
+	* aux.c: get_neg_sto_dentry(): allow to be called for dentries
+          in state UNMODIFIED, NON_EXISTANT _and_ DELETED.
+
+2005-04-19    <mk@mary>
+
+	* Fixed a bug under 2.6 that caused files deleted via mini_fo
+          not to be deleted properly and therefore the fs filled up
+          untill no memory was left. [devel-0-0-12]
+
+	* Added basic hard link support. This means that creating
+          hardlinks will work, but existing ones will be treated as
+          individual files. [devel-0-0-11]
+
+2005-04-17    <mk@mary>
+
+	* Bugfixes
+
+2005-04-13  root  <mk@mary>
+
+	* Added file state.c for the state transition
+          functions. Doesn't work very well yet, though...
+
+2005-04-12    <mk@mary>
+
+	* Porting to 2.6 started, which is easier than expected, also
+          due to Olivier previous work.
+
+2005-04-08    <mk@mary>
+
+	* Fixed the bug that caused du to return invalid sizes of
+          directory trees. The problem was that
+          mini_fo_inode_revalidate didn't always copy the attributes
+          from the base inode properly.
+
+2005-04-01  Markus Klotzbuecher  <mk@chasey>
+
+	* Merged devel branch back to main trunk and updated the
+          RELEASE notes. This will be 0-6-0-pre1.
+
+2005-03-31  Markus Klotzbuecher  <mk@chasey>
+
+	* Fixed some bugs in rename_reg_file, that only showed up in
+          the kernel compile test. Kernel compiles cleanly ontop of
+          mini_fo, now also make mrproper etc. work. Seems pretty stable.
+
+2005-03-28  Markus Klotzbuecher  <mk@chasey>
+
+	* Many, many directory renaming bugfixes and a lot of other
+          cleanup. Dir renaming seems to work relatively stable.
+
+2005-03-22  Markus Klotzbuecher  <mk@chasey>
+
+	* Finished implementing lightweight directory renaming. Some
+          basic testing indicates it works fine.
+	  Next is to implement testcases for the testsuite and confirm
+          everything is really working ok.
+
+2005-03-18  Markus Klotzbuecher  <mk@chasey>
+
+	* Finished implementing meta.c stuff required for directory
+          renaming.
+
+2005-03-17  Markus Klotzbuecher  <mk@chasey>
+
+	* Fixed all compile warnings + an extremly old bug that
+          somehow crept in while reworking the wol stuff to the META
+          system. Turning on -Werror again... :-)
+
+	* Fixed some bugs in the new rename_reg_file function.
+
+	* Rewrote mini_fo rename and split it into several
+          subfunctions, that handle the different types
+          seperately. Rewrote the regular file function aswell, as it
+          was implemented somewhat inefficient. 
+
+2005-03-16  Markus Klotzbuecher  <mk@chasey>
+
+	* Implemented new META subsystem, removed old WOL stuff in favor 
+	  if it.
+
+	* After some basic testing everything seems ok...
+
+2005-03-11  Markus Klotzbuecher  <mk@chasey>
+
+	* Renaming a non regular file caused trouble because I always
+	  tried to copy the contents. Now I only do this for regular
+	  files. mini_fo_rename still isn't implemented properly, renaming
+	  of device files, symlinks etc. results in a empty regular file
+	  instead of the proper type.
+	
+	* Directory renaming suddenly works! What a surprise! I guess
+          this is because renaming is implemented as making a copy and
+          removing the original. Still this might not work
+          everywhere...
+
+2005-03-09  Markus Klotzbuecher  <mk@chasey>
+
+	* Bugfix, when a mini_fo directory that exists in storage
+  	  (state: MODIFIED, CREATED and DEL_REWRITTEN) is deleted, a
+  	  possibly existing WOL file contained in it needs to be
+  	  deleted too.
+
+	* Starting cleanup: defined state names in order to get rid of
+          the state numbers.
+
+2005-03-08  Markus Klotzbuecher  <mk@chasey>
+	
+	* Makefile fix, fist_ioctl was built against wrong sources if ARCH=um
+
+	* Fixed a bug in dentry.c, mini_fo_d_hash. In state 4 =
+          DEL_REWRITTEN the hash was calculated from the base dentry,
+          which was wrong and and caused assertions in
+          __mini_fo_hidden_dentry to fail.
+
+2005-02-21    <mk@mary>
+
+	* Implemented directory deleting (inode.c)
+
+	* main.c: made mini_fo_parse_options a little more robust.
+
+2004-12-22    <mk@mary>
+
+	* Makefile cleanup and uml stuff, removed unneccessary files
+
+	* Created a new and hopefully more informative README
+
+	* CHANGELOG: created a new CHANGELOG and added old entries reversely
+
+
+2004-10-24 Gleb Natapov <[email protected]>
+
+	* Fix: owner and group where not correctly copied from base to
+          storage. 
+
+
+2004-10-05 Gleb Natapov <[email protected]>
+
+	* Implementation of fsync, fasync and lock mini_fo functions.
+	
+
+2004-09-29 Bob Lee <[email protected]>
+
+	* Fix of a serious pointer bug
+	
+
+2004-09-28 Gleb Natapov <[email protected]>
+
+	* Implementation of mini_fo_mknod and mini_fo_rename, support
+          for device files.
+

+README for the mini_fo overlay file system
+=========================================
+
+
+WHAT IS MINI_FO?
+----------------
+
+mini_fo is a virtual kernel file system that can make read-only
+file systems writable. This is done by redirecting modifying operations
+to a writeable location called "storage directory", and leaving the
+original data in the "base directory" untouched. When reading, the
+file system merges the modifed and original data so that only the
+newest versions will appear. This occurs transparently to the user,
+who can access the data like on any other read-write file system.
+
+Base and storage directories may be located on the same or on
+different partitions and may be of different file system types. While
+the storage directory obviously needs to be writable, the base may or
+may not be writable, what doesn't matter as it will no be modified
+anyway.
+
+
+WHAT IS GOOD FOR?
+-----------------
+
+The primary purpose of the mini_fo file system is to allow easy
+software updates to embedded systems, that often store their root
+file system in a read-only flash file system, but there are many
+more as for example sandboxing, or for allowing live-cds to
+permanently store information.
+
+
+BUILDING
+--------
+This should be simple. Adjust the Makefile to point to the correct
+kernel headers you want to build the module for. Then:
+
+    # make
+
+should build "mini_fo.o" for a 2.4 kernel or "mini_fo.ko" for a 2.6
+kernel.
+
+If you are building the module for you current kernel, you can install
+the module (as root):
+
+    # make install
+
+or uninstall with
+
+    # make uninstall
+
+
+USING THE FILE SYSTEM
+--------------------
+
+the general mount syntax is:
+
+   mount -t mini_fo -o base=<base directory>,sto=<storage directory>\
+                            <base directory> <mount point>
+
+Example:
+
+You have mounted a cdrom to /mnt/cdrom and want to modifiy some files
+on it:
+
+load the module (as root)
+    
+    # insmod mini_fo.o for a 2.4 kernel or
+ 
+    # insmod mini_fo.ko for a 2.6 kernel
+
+
+create a storage dir in tmp and a mountpoint for mini_fo:
+
+    # mkdir /tmp/sto
+    # mkdir /mnt/mini_fo
+
+and mount the mini_fo file system:
+
+    # mount -t mini_fo -o base=/mnt/cdrom,sto=/tmp/sto /mnt/cdrom /mnt/mini_fo
+
+
+Now the data stored on the cd can be accessed via the mini_fo
+mountpoint just like any read-write file system, files can be modified
+and deleted, new ones can be created and so on. When done unmount the
+file system:
+
+    # unmount /mnt/mini_fo
+
+Note that if the file system is mounted again using the same storage
+file system, of course it will appear in the modified state again. If
+you remount it using an new empty storage directory, it will be
+unmodified. Therefore by executing:
+
+    # cd /tmp/sto
+    # rm -rf *
+
+you can nuke all the changes you made to the original file system. But
+ remember NEVER do this while the mini_fo file system is mounted!
+
+
+Alternatively you can use the mini_fo-overlay bash script, that
+simplifies managing mini_fo mounts. See TOOLS Section.
+
+
+TOOLS
+-----
+
+mini_fo-merge (experimental):
+
+This is a bash script that will merge changes contained in the storage
+directory back to the base directory. This allows mini_fo to function
+as a cache file system by overlaying a slow (network, ...) file system
+and using a fast (ramdisk, ...) as storage. When done, changes can be
+merged back to the (slow) base with mini_fo-merge. See "mini_fo-merge
+-h" for details.
+
+It can be usefull for merging changes back after a successfull test
+(patches, software updates...)
+
+
+mini_fo-overlay:
+
+This bash script simplifies managing one or more mini_fo mounts. For
+overlaying a directory called "basedir1", you can just call:
+
+    # mini_fo-overlay basedir1
+
+This will mount mini_fo with "basedir1" as base, "/tmp/sto-basedir1/"
+as storage to "/mnt/mini_fo-basedir1/". It has more options though,
+type "mini_fo-overlay -h" for details.
+
+
+DOCUMENTATION, REPORTING BUGS, GETTING HELP
+-------------------------------------------
+
+Please visit the mini_fo project page at:
+
+http://www.denx.de/twiki/bin/view/Know/MiniFOHome
+
+
+WARNINGS
+--------
+
+Never modify the base or the storage directorys while the mini_fo
+file system is mounted, or you might crash you system. Simply accessing
+and reading should not cause any trouble.
+
+Exporting a mini_fo mount point via NFS has not been tested, and may
+or may not work.
+
+Check the RELEASE_NOTES for details on bugs and features.

+Release:	mini_fo-0.6.1 (v0-6-1)
+Date:		21.09.2005
+
+
+Changes:
+--------
+v0-6-1:
+
+- bugfixes (see ChangeLog)
+
+- two helper scripts "mini_fo_merge" and "mini_fo_overlay" (see
+  README for details).
+
+v0-6-0:
+
+- Support for 2.4 and 2.6 (see Makefile)
+
+- Partial hard link support (creating works as expected, but already
+  existing links in the base file system will be treated as if they
+  were individual files).
+
+- Various bugfixes and cleanups.
+
+
+v0-6-0-pre1:
+
+- This is mini_fo-0-6-0-pre1! This release is a complete rewrite of
+  many vital mini_fo parts such as the old whiteout list code which
+  has been replaced by the new META subsystem.
+
+- Light weight directory renaming implemented. This means if a
+  directory is renamed via the mini_fo filesystem this will no longer
+  result in a complete copy in storage, instead only one empty
+  directory will be created. All base filed contained in the original
+  directory stay there until modified.
+
+- Special files (creating, renaming, deleting etc.) now working.
+
+- Many bugfixes and cleanup, mini_fo is now a lot more stable.
+
+
+v0-5-10:
+
+- Final release of the 0-5-* versions. Next will be a complete rewrite
+  of many features. This release contains several bugfixes related to
+  directory renaming.
+
+
+v0-5-10-pre6:
+
+- Lots of cleanup and several bugfixes related to directory deleting
+
+- Directory renaming suddenly works, what is most likely due to the
+  fact tha that "mv" is smart: if the classic rename doesn't work it
+  will assume that source and target file are on different fs and will
+  copy the directory and try to remove the source directory. Until
+  directory removing wasn't implemented, it would fail to do this and
+  rollback.
+  So, directory renaming works for now, but it doesn't yet do what you
+  would expect from a overlay fs, so use with care.
+
+
+v0-5-10-pre5:
+
+- implemented directory deleting 
+- made parsing of mount options more stable
+- New format of mount options! (See README)
+- I can't reproduce the unknown panic with 2.4.25 anymore, so I'll
+  happily assume it never existed!
+
+
+Implemented features:
+---------------------
+
+- creating hard links (see BUGS on already existing hard links)	
+- lightweight directory renaming
+- renaming device files, pipes, sockets, etc.	
+- creating, renaming, deleting of special files 
+- deleting directorys
+- general directory reading (simple "ls" )
+- creating files in existing directorys
+- creating directorys
+- renaming files.
+- reading and writing files (involves opening)
+- appending to files (creates copy in storage)
+- deleting files
+- llseek works too, what allows editors to work
+- persistency (a deleted file stay deleted over remounts)
+- use of symbolic links
+- creating of device files
+
+
+Not (yet) implemented features:
+-------------------------------
+
+- full hard link support.
+
+
+
+BUGS:
+-----
+
+Hard links in the base file system will be treated as individual
+files, not as links to one inode.
+
+The main problem with hard links isn't allowing to create them, but
+their pure existence. If you modify a base hard link, the changes made
+will only show up on this link, the other link will remain in the
+original state. I hope to fix this someday. Please note that this does
+not effect the special hard links '.' and '..', that are handled
+seperately by the lower fs.
