Util-linux 2.30 Release Notes 
= 

The libblkid library has been fixed to extract LABEL= and UUID= from UDF
rather than from ISO9660 header on hybrid CDROM/DVD media. This changes
makes UDF media on Linux user-space more compatible with another operation
systems. Unfortunately, this change may introduce regression for (unusual)
hybrid CDROM/DVDs where ISO and UDF use a different LABEL=.

The deprecated command tailf has been removed. Use "tail -f" from coreutils.


blkzone -- NEW COMMAND to run zone commands on block device that support Zoned
Block Commands (ZBC) or Zoned-device ATA Commands (ZAC). The currently
supported functionality is 'report' and 'reset'.
[thanks to Shaun Tancheff (Seagate), Damien Le Moal (WD)]

fincore -- NEW COMMAND to count pages of file contents in core (memory). 
[thanks to Masatake YAMATO (Red Hat)]

lsmem -- NEW COMMAND to list the ranges of available memory with their online
status (originally implementd in Perl for s390-tools). [thanks to Clemens von 
Mann 
and Heiko Carstens (IBM)]

chmem -- NEW COMMAND to set memeory online/offline status [thanks to Heiko
Carstens (IBM)]


The old and dead Alpha and Cmos code has been removed from hwclock command.

The command fallocate supports "insert range" operation now.

The command "column -t|--table" has been modified to use libsmartcols. Now it
provides almost all functionality of the library on command line, for example
print header for table, reorder columns, align columns to the right, print
tree-like output, wrap lines in cells, truncate text in cells, etc.

The libmount library provides API to generate exit codes and error/warning
messages compatible with mount(8).
