Release notes for the e2fsprogs package

+

E2fsprogs 1.42.6 (September 21, 2012)

+ +

When mke2fs creates file systems with lazy itable initialization, the +progress updates for writing the inode table happens so quickly that +on a serial console, the time to write the progress updates can be the +bottleneck. So mke2fs will now only update its progress indicators +once a second.

+ +

Resize2fs will skip initializing the inode tables if the kernel +supports lazy_itable_init, which speeds up growing off-line growth of +uninit_bg file systems significantly. Resize2fs will now also +correctly set the itable_unused field in the block group descriptor to +speed up the first e2fsck after the file system is grown.

+ +

Resize2fs has been fixed so that on-line resizing of meta_bg file +systems work correctly. This is needed to grow file system which are +larger than 16T.

+ +

Resize2fs will now correctly handle resizing file systems to 16TB on +32-bit file systems when "16TB" is specified on the command line.

+ +

Fix mke2fs so that it will be careful to set the reserved blocks ratio +larger than 50%; this can happen when creating small file systems and +when the last block group is dropped because there are not enough +blocks to support the metadata blocks in the last block group.

+ +

Fixed spelling mistake in debugfs's help message.

+ +

Fixed a potential seg fault in e2fsck when there is an I/O error while +reading the superblock.

+ +

Fixed various Debian Packaging Issues (Addresses Debian Bug #677497)

+ +

Updated/fixed various man pages. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: +#3559210)

+ +

Programmer's Notes

+ +

The configure option --enable-relative-symlink was broken so that it +needed to be --enable-symlink-relative-symlinks. We will support both +for at least two years, but then the worng configure option will be +removed.

+ +

Fixed a regression introduced in 1.42.5 so the link order for +e2fsprogs' libraries will be correct for both static and shared +linking. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #3554345)

+ +

Add support for e2fsprogs to be compiled using clang/LLVM.

+ +

Fix portability problems on non-Linux systems: avoid compile failures +on systems that don't have malloc.h

+ +

Fix f_mmp regression test suite so that debugfs gets killed if the +test is interrupted.

+ +
