   ++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service   http://www.os2voice.org ++    
      
   From: jvwDESPAM@DESPAMdfsee.com   
      
   DFSee version 13.3 has been released.     
      
   It is a MINOR release, with Linux huge-disk and 4096 BPS disk support   
   and some other minor fixes and enhancements.     
      
      
   It also DISABLES the use of 'Smart' optimization for cloning and imaging   
   of EXT2/3/4 filesystems, since some problems have been found with that.   
   Until those are fully understood and fixed, cloning and imaging will be   
   somewhat slower for EXT, and the (still compressed) IMZ files larger.     
      
      
   There is a new command for EXT filesystems 'bg' that can list all the   
   blockgroups with differences between BG administration and the bitmaps.   
   (showing exactly by how much, and where a mounted filesystem is 'dirty')     
      
       
      
   DFSee is a very powerful disk-utility with disk partitioning,   
   filesystem and disk analysis, some file recovery and UNDELETE   
   and smart imaging or cloning of partitions or complete disks.
