鈿狅笍 Obsolete version

This release is susceptible to the Faulty raw device block size detection serious bug.

Linsk versions below v0.2.0 are considered obsolete UNLESS:

  • The use of Linsk was limited exclusively to devices with a 512-byte logical block (sector) size; or
  • The experimental USB passthrough was used.

Changelog

This is a minor maintenance release containing insignificant fixes following the initial release.

The exact list of changes is as follows:

  • Enable qemu-system stderr passthrough when running with --vm-debug option.
  • Do not force-disable page cache for passed-through devices.
  • Fix linsk version showing v0.0.0.

Verifying the signature

Linsk binaries are packaged with a PGP signature to verify the authenticity of the builds. gpg is required to verify signatures like this. You can fetch and import the signing key by executing:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AlexSSD7/linsk/b59880e6c4e2875a926aeaa7a3b9704df04b33ba/keys/AlexSSD7.key | gpg --import

Once you have imported the key, you can run the following to verify the signature of the file with SHA-256 hashes:

gpg --verify linsk_sha256_v0.1.1.txt.sig linsk_sha256_v0.1.1.txt

You should then see something like this:

gpg: Signature made Mon 04 Sep 2023 09:44:18 AM BST
gpg:                using RSA key F7231DFD3333A27F71D171383B627C597D3727BD
gpg: Good signature from "AlexSSD7 <alexandersadovskyi7@protonmail.com>" [ultimate]

Please ensure that the key ID is F7231DFD3333A27F71D171383B627C597D3727BD

After the signature is verified successfully, you may now open the hashes file (linsk_sha256_v0.1.1.txt) and compare the checksums. You can generate a checksum by executing this command:

sha256sum <file path>
