Release notes for the e2fsprogs package

+

E2fsprogs 1.40.7 (February 28, 2008)

+ +

Remove support for clearing the SPARSE_SUPER feature from tune2fs, and +depreciate the -s option, since it can result in filesystems which +e2fsck can't fix easily. There are very good reasons for wanting to +disable sparse_super; users who wants to turn off sparse_super can use +debugfs. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1840286)

+ +

Add missing options to mke2fs's usage message. (Addresses Sourceforge +Bug: #1751393)

+ +

Fix bug in resize2fs when large (greater than 128 byte) inodes are +moved when a filesystem is shrunk; it was only moving the first 128 +bytes, so extended attributes were not getting moved. (Addresses Red +Hat Bugzilla: #434893)

+ +

E2fsck now prints an explicit message when the bad block inode is +updated, to avoid confusion about why the filesystem was modified. +(Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #756460)

+ +

Allow mke2fs and tune2fs manipulate the large_file feature. +Previously we just let the kernel and e2fsck do this automatically, +but e2fsck will no longer automatically clear the large_file feature. +It still isn't really necessary to worry about this feature flag +explicitly, but some users seem to care. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: +#258381)

+ +

Suppress message about an old-style fstab if the fstab file is empty. +(Addresses Debian Bug: #468176)

+ +

Fix (really minor) bug in debugfs's find_free_block so it avoids +reporting a free block more than once if there are too few free blocks +in the filesystem. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1096315)

+ +

Change e2fsck to no longer clear the LARGE_FILES feature flag +automatically, when there are no more > 2GB files in the filesystem. +It's been almost a decade since there have been kernels that don't +support this flag, and e2fsck clears it quietly without telling the +user why the filesystem has been changed.

+ +

Fix bug which could cause libblkid to seg fault if a device mapper +volume disappears while it is being probed. (Addresses RedHat +Bugzilla: #433857)

+ +

Inhance e2fsck's reporting of unsupported filesystem feature flags. +(Addresses Sourceforge Feature Request: #1175808)

+ +

Fix option syntax in dumpe2fs for explicit superblock and blocksize +parameters. What was currently documented in the man page has been +broken for some time, due to getopt() implementation changes. The +option sytax has been changed to one which is can be more portable +supported and which is consistent with the format for extended options +in mke2fs and tune2fs. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1830994)

+ +

Add support to tune2fs to clear the resize_inode feature. This +requires an fsck afterwards. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: #167816)

+ +

Teach blkid to detect LVM2 physical volumes. (Addresses Red Hat +Bugzilla: #409321)

+ +

Add support for setting RAID stride and stripe-width via mke2fs and +tune2fs. Teach dumpe2fs to print the RAID parameters.

+ +

Add support for setting new superblock fields to debugfs's +set_super_value.

+ +

Add support for printing "mostly-printable" extended attributes in +Debugfs.

+ +

Add support for the -M option to fsck, which causes it to ignore +mounted filesystem.

+ +

Fix uuidd so that it creates the pid file with the correct pid number. +(Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1893244)

+ +

Fix various gcc -Wall warnings.

+ +

Update Czech, Dutch, Polish, Sweedish, and Vietnamese translations

+ +

Fixed spelling mistakes, typos, and otherwise clarified man pages. +(Addresses Sourceforge Patch: #1399325)

+ +

Programmer's notes

+ +

Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for +details. (Addresses Debian Bug: #466929)

+ +

Add new flag EXT2_FLAG_NONFREE_ON_ERROR ext2fs_open2() which returns a +partially filled-in filesystem object on an error, so that e2fsck can +print more intelligent error messages.

+ +

Add a new function e2p_edit_feature2() which allows the caller to +specify which feature flags are OK to set or clear, and which returns +more specific information about feature flags which are not allowed to +be set/cleared.

+ +

Set the C locale in the test_script driver since it uses [A-Za-z]. +(Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1890526)

+ +

Use fcntl locking instead of lockf in libuuid since Cygwin doesn't +support lockf().

+ +

Change configure.in to avoid using the 'dc' command unless it is +absolutely needed. (i.e., when using parsing a WIP-style version +number) (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1893024)

+ +

Add portability checks to support compilation under DJGPP.

+ +

Update to the latest samba tdb code before the LGPLv3 change, which +fixes a realloc() leak on failure.

+ +

Fix memory leak in ext2fs_alloc_block().

+ +

Fix makefile dependency issues for various install targets. +(Addresses-Sourceforge-Patches: #1903484, #1903466, #1903456)

+ +

Improve descriptions for the r_move_itable and r_resize_inode tests.

+
