Release notes for the e2fsprogs package

+

E2fsprogs 1.42.7 (January 21, 2013)

+ +

Add warnings to mke2fs, resize2fs, and tune2fs that the bigalloc and +quota features are still under development. For more information +please see: +

+

+ +

Add some new options to filefrag from Lustre's patches to e2fsprogs: +

+

+ + +

Fix resize2fs so that it can handle off-line resizes of file systems +with the flex_bg feature but without a resize_inode (or if we run out +of reserved gdt blocks). This also fixes a problem where if the user +creates a filesystem with a restricted number of reserved gdt blocks, +an off-line resize which grows the file system could potentially +result in file system corruption.

+ +

Fix a resize2fs bug which could cause it to corrupt bigalloc file +systems when doing an off-line resize.

+ +

Further optimize resize2fs so it doesn't use quite as much CPU when +resizing very large file systems.

+ +

Fixed 32-bit overflow bugs which could cause resize2fs to fail and +possibly corrupt the file system while resizing 64-bit file systems.

+ +

Fix a bug in mke2fs where parsing "-E resize=NNN" will result in a +mke2fs crash due to a divide-by-zero if the 64bit file system feature +is enabled.

+ +

Add better error checking to mke2fs to check for invalid parameters +when creating bigalloc file system.

+ +

When creating bigalloc filesystems, the -g option to mke2fs will now +specify the number of clusters per block group.

+ +

Add to debugfs the functionality to corrupt a specific file system +block via the "zap_block" command.

+ +

Add to debugfs the functionality to print out a hex dump of a block in +the file system via the "block_dump" command.

+ +

Add to debugfs the functionality to manipulate the extent tree +directly via the "extent_open" command.

+ +

Fixed debugfs's mknod command so that it updates the block group +statistics.

+ +

Fix e2fsck so it can detect and fix inconsistencies in the interior +nodes of an inode's extent tree.

+ +

Fix a potential memory corruption failure in e2fsck's error path if +the call to ext2fs_open2() fails.

+ +

Fix e2fsck if its logging function is enabled in e2fsck.conf, and the +resulting file name for the log file is longer than 100 bytes, that it +properly handles this situation instead of crashing.

+ +

E2fsck will now report the amount of memory that it attempted to +allocate when a memory allocation request fails, to make it easier to +track down the problem.

+ +

Fix mke2fs's handling of the mmp_update_interval option. (Addresses +Lustre Bug: LU-1888)

+ +

E2image can now include all data blocks in the e2image output file +when the user specifies the -a option.

+ +

If e2fsprogs is compiled without --enable-quota, make sure that +tune2fs can not turn on the feature for new-style quota support, since +afterwards, none of the e2fsprogs tools will be willing to touch that +file system.

+ +

Optimize e2fsck's so that it uses much less CPU for large file +systems. This can result in significant speedups, especially on +CPU-constrained systems. This was primarily done by optimizing +libext2fs's bitmap functions. (Addresses Google Bug: #7534813)

+ +

Fix debugfs's htree command so that all its messages are sent through +the pager.

+ +

Fixed debugfs's "dump_file" and "cat" functions work correctly +on file systems whose block size is greater than 8k.

+ +

Fix e2freefrag so it works on 64-bit file systems, and so it uses much +less memory. (Addresses Google Bug: 7269948)

+ +

Update the spd_readdir.c file in the contrib directory to include some +additions which were made in 2008 that didn't get folded into the +version which we checked into the e2fsprogs source tree. These +enhancements include thread safety, support for readdir64_r(), and +safe_getenv() support in case spd_readdir.so is used for setuid binaries.

+ +

Update Czech, Dutch, French, German, Polish, Sweedish, and Vietnamese +translations

+ +

Add a command to debugfs to create symlinks.

+ +

Document the bigalloc feature in the mke2fs man page. (Addresses +Debian Bug: #669730)

+ +

Programmer's Notes

+ +

Fix gcc -Wall nits.

+ +

Fix a spelling typo in the libext2fs texinfo documentation.

+ +

Change the output from "make check" so that tools such as emacs's "M-x +compile" does not mistake the output as containing a compiler error.

+ +

Export two new functions from libext2fs: ext2fs_extent_node_split() +and ext2fs_extent_goto2().

+ +

The ext2fs_extents_fix_parents() was fixed so it does not modify the +location of the extent handle if its current location is at an +interior node, rather than a leaf node of an inode's extent tree.

+ +

Add a regression test to assure that e2fsck can correctly fix an +inconsistent interior node in an inode's extent tree.

+ +

The ext2fs_{mark,unmark,test}_block_bitmap_range2() functions now +correctly support bigalloc file systems which use store block usage +information in units of clusters.

+ +

Fixed the help text in the configure script for --enable-quota.

+ +

The m68k-specific bitops code has been removed since they were +incorrectly treating bit numbers with the high bit set as signed +integers. Furthermore, modern compilers do a good enough job +optimizing the generic code there is no point in having the m68k +specific asm statements.

+ +

Fixed how we link the test programs so they always use the static +libraries, so that we test using the libraries which we have just +built.

+ +

Update config.guess and config.sub to the latest versions from the GNU +project.

+ +

Fixed the com_err.texinfo file so that it can produce a valid +postscript/pdf printed output.

+ +

Add a regression test which checks debugfs's ability to create +symlinks, named FIFO's, and device nodes.

+ +

Add a function ext2fs_symlink(), which creates symlinks to the +libext2fs library.

+ +

Add debugging code so we can test old kernel interfaces for online +resize to resize2fs. This backwards compatibility checking is keyed +off of the RESIZE2FS_KERNEL_VERSION, which is designed to allow us to +test the functionality of the kernel's older resize ioctls without +needing to install an old version of resize2fs, and to also test a +modern resize2fs's ability to work with older kernels without having +to install an older version of the kernel.
