Release notes for the e2fsprogs package

+

E2fsprogs 1.41.13 (December 13, 2010)

+ +

E2fsck now supports the extended option "-E journal_only", which +causes it to only do a journal replay. This is useful for scripts +that want to first replay the journal and then check to see if it +contains errors.

+ +

E2fsck will now support UUID= and LABEL= specifiers for the -j option +(which specifies where to find the external journal). (Addresses +Debian Bug #559315)

+ +

E2fsck now has support for the problems//force_no +configuration option in e2fsck.conf, which forces a problem to not be +fixed.

+ +

Dumpe2fs will now avoid printing large negative offsets for the bitmap +blocks and instead print a message which is a bit more helpful for +flex_bg file systems.

+ +

Mke2fs will now check the file system type (specified with the -t +option) to make sure it is defined in the mke2fs.conf file; if it is +not, it will print an error and abort. If the usage type (specified +with the -T option) is not defined in mke2fs.conf, mke2fs will print a +warning but will continue. (Addresses Debian Bug #594609)

+ +

Clarified error message from resize2fs clarifying that on-line +shrinking is not supported at all. (Addresses Debian Bug #599786)

+ +

Fix an e2fsck bug that could cause a PROGRAMMING BUG error to be +displayed. (Addresses Debian Bug #555456)

+ +

E2fsck will open the external journal in exclusive mode, to prevent +the journal from getting truncated while it is in use due to a user +accidentally trying to run e2fsck on a snapshotted file system volume. +(Addresses Debian Bug #587531)

+ +

Fix a bug in e2fsck so it has the correct test for the EOFBLOCKS_FL +flag.

+ +

The tune2fs program can now set the uninit_bg feature without +requiring an fsck.

+ +

The tune2fs, dumpe2fs, and debugfs programs now support the new ext4 +default mount options settings which were added in 2.6.35.

+ +

The e2fsck and dumpe2fs programs now support the new ext4 superblock +fields which track where and when the first and most recent file +system errors occurred. These fields are displayed by dumpe2fs and +cleared by e2fsck. These new superblock fields were added in 2.6.36.

+ +

Debugfs now uses a more concicse format for listing extents in its +stat command. This format also includes the interior extent tree +blocks, which previously was missing from stat's output for +extent-based files.

+ +

Debugfs has a new option, -D, which will request Direct I/O access of +the file system.

+ +

Mke2fs will skip initializing the inode table if a device supports +discard and the discard operation will result in zero'ed blocks.

+ +

Badblocks will now correctly backspace over UTF-8 characters when +displaying its progress bar. (Addresses Gentoo Bug #309909; Addresses +Debian Bugs #583782 and #587834)

+ +

E2freefrag will now display the total number of free extents.

+ +

Resize2fs -P no longer requires a freshly checked filesystem before +printing the minimum resize size.

+ +

Fixed a floating point precision error in a binary tree search routine +that can lead to seg fault in e2fsck and resize2fs.

+ +

Fixed a bug in e2fsck where if both the original and backup superblock +are invalid in some way, e2fsck will fail going back to the original +superblock because it didn't close the backup superblock first, and +the exclusive open prevented the file system from being reopened.

+ +

Fixed a big in e2freefrag which caused getopt parsing to fail on +architectures with unsigned chars. (Addresses Gentoo Bug: #299386)

+ +

Clarified an mke2fs error message so a missed common in an -E option +(i.e., mke2fs -t ext4 -E stride=128 stripe-width=512 /dev/sda1") +results in a more understandable explanation to the user.

+ +

Mke2fs now displays the correct valid inode ratio range when +complaining about an invalid inode ratio specified by the user.

+ +

Mke2fs now understands the extended option "discard" and "nodiscard", +and the older option -K is deprecated. The default of whether +discards are enabled by default can be controled by the mke2fs.conf +file.

+ +

Mke2fs's handling of logical and physical sector sizes has been +improved to reflect the fact that there will be some SSD's with 8k and +16k physical sectors arriving soon. Mke2fs will no longer force block +size to be the physical sector size, since there will be devices where +the physical sector size is larger than the system's page size, and +hence larger than the maximal supported block size. In addition, if +the minimal and optimal io size are not exported by the device, and +the physical sector size is larger than the block size, the physical +sector size will be used to set the Raid I/O optimization hints in the +superblock.

+ +

E2fsck will now display a better, more specific error message when the +user enters a typo'ed device name, instead of blathering on about +alternate superblocks.

+ +

Fixed various Debian Packaging Issues

+ +

Updated/clarified man pages (Addresses Debian Bugs: #580236, #594004, +#589345, #591083; Addresses Launchpad Bug: #505719)

+ +

Update the Chinese, Chzech, Dutch, French, Germany, Indonesian, +Polish, Swedish, and Vietnamese translations.

+ +

Programmer's Notes

+ +

Fix a dependency definition for the static and profiled blkid +libraries which could cause compile failures in some configurations. +(Addresses Debian Bug: #604629)

+ +

Add support for Direct I/O in the Unix I/O access layer.

+ +

Fixed a memory leak in the Unix I/O layer when changing block sizes.

+ +

Fixed minor memory leaks in mke2fs.

+ +

Added a new function to the ext2fs library, ext2fs_get_memalign().

+ +

The tst_super_size test program will check to make sure the superblock +fields are correctly aligned and will print them out so they can be +manually checked for correctness.

+ +

Fixed some makefile dependencies for test programs in lib/ext2fs.

+ +

Reserved the feature flags and superblock fields needed for the Next3 +snapshot feature.

+ +

Reserved the feature flags for EXT4_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_DIRDATA and +EXT4_INCOMPAT_EA_INODE.

+ +
