Release notes for the e2fsprogs package

+

E2fsprogs 1.41.5 (April 23, 2009)

+ +

Fix a number of filesystem corruption bugs in resize2fs when growing +or shrinking ext4 filesystems off-line (i.e., when the ext4 filesystem +is not mounted).

+ +

Debugfs can now set i_file_acl_high via the set_inodes_field command, +and print a 64-bit file acl. This is useful for debugging filesystem +corruptions where the high bits of i_file_acl_high are set. E2fsck +will detect and fix non-zero i_file_acl_high on 32-bit filesystems +since some Linux kernel versions pay attention to this field even when +they shouldn't.

+ +

Speed up e2fsck when checking clean filesystems by avoiding +unnecessary block reads, and coalescing the block group descriptor +blocks so they are read using a single read operation.

+ +

The libuuid library will now close all file descriptors before running +uuidd. This avoids problems when the calling program has open sockets +which then never get closed because uuidd is a long-running helper +daeomn. (Addresses Launchpad bug: #305057)

+ +

In order to avoid unnecessary full filesystem checks by e2fsck after +an on-line resize, e2fsck will ignore the NEEDS_RECOVERY flag set on +the backup superblocks. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: #471925)

+ +

Mke2fs will avoid trying to create the journal when run in +superblock-only mode (mke2fs -S), since the left-over journal in the +inode table will cause mke2fs to fail.

+ +

Fix a bug in libext2fs functions that check to see if a particular +device or filesystem image is mounted, which would cause these +functions to report that a file identical to the (relative) pathname +used by a pseudo-filesystem was mounted when in fact it was not.

+ +

Update Czech translation from the Translation Project.

+ +

Add Chinese (simplified) translation from the Translation Project.

+ +

Fix support for external journals (which was broken in e2fsprogs +1.41.4).

+ +

Fix a regression in debugfs where the "stat" command when no +filesystem was open would cause debugfs to crash with a segmentation +violation.

+ +

Starting in the 2.6.29 linux kernel, the ext4 filesystem driver can be +used to support filesystems without a journal. Update the blkid +library so it understands this.

+ +

The blkid library will remove an entry from the blkid cache +representing the entire disk if partitions are found, since presuambly +the device previously had no partition table, but has now transitioned +to using a partition table.

+ +

Add a check to mke2fs and tune2fs that the argument to the -m option +(which specifies the reserved ratio) must be greater than zero. +(Addresses Debian Bug: #517015)

+ +

Add support for tracking the number kilobytes written to the +filesystem via the superblock field s_kbytes_written. It will be +updated by the kernel as well as by e2fsprogs programs which write to +the filesystem. This is useful for tracking the wear to filesystems +on Solid Sstate Drives.

+ +

Fix compatibility issue in the libext2fs info file and makeinfo +version 4.12. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: #481620)

+ +

Update/clarify man pages. (Addresses Debian Bug: #515693, #365619)

+ +

Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for +details. (Addresses Debian Bug: #506279)

+ +

Programmer's Notes

+ +

Fix Hurd compilation problem in e2fsck and tune2fs (Addresses Debian +Bug: #521602)

+ +

Fix various gcc compilation warnings and other programming cleanups. +(Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: #486997)

+ +

Add support for building the blkid command statically.

+ +

Add support for disabling the built-in blkid library in favor of a +system-installed blkid implementation via the configure option +--disable-libblkid.

+ +
