Release notes for the e2fsprogs package

+

E2fsprogs 1.46.6 (February 1, 2023)

+ +

UI and Features

+ +

Debugfs's ncheck command now allows the inode number to be surrounded by +angle brackets, to be consistent with other debugfs commands. + +

Debugfs no longer prints a scary message when debugfs -c (which enables +"catastrophic mode") is used. This was intended to allow debugfs to +operate on very badly corrupted file systems, but it is now sometimes +used to suppress reading the block and inode bitmaps when they are not +needed. + +

Resize2fs will round down the requested new file system size to the +nearest cluster boundary when resizing bigalloc file systems. + +

Improve error messages issued by badblocks. + +

Fuse2fs now supports an offset= option which allows operating on +a file system image which is located starting at the specified offset +from the beginning of the image. + +

Fixes

+ +

Pre-v6.2 Linux kernels had long-standing bug in how the extended +attribute hash was calculated when there were non-ASCII characters in +the xattr name, when the hash would be different depending on whether +the C 'char' type was signed or unsigned. To address this bug, starting +with e2fsprogs 1.46.6+ and Linux 6.2+, we will accept either the signed +or unsigned hash variant, but only set the unsigned hash variant. Since +extended attribute names are in practice composed of ASCII characters, +other than various tests (such as generic/454), most users will +hopefully not notice this change. + +

Avoid triggering udev in dumpe2fs and "resize2fs -P" for file systems +with MMP enabled by opening the device read-only when reading the MMP +block. + +

Fix MMP handling so it can notice when another writer has modify the MMP +block out from under it when stopping a MMP sessions. + +

Fix tune2fs so it will detect another device stealing the MMP sessions +while rewriting metadata checksums. + +

E2fsck will now check to make sure the journal inode does not have the +encrypt flag set. + +

Fix a deadlock bug in e2fsck's error handler when there are errors +trying to write to the file system. + +

Fix a bug where e2fsck could fail when specifying an undo file and an +explicit superblock number. + +

Fix e2image so it won't potentially loop forever for certain invalid +file systems. + +

Fix resize2fs to honor the E2FSPROGS_FAKE_TIME environment variable. +This allows embedded system builders who use resize2fs as part of their +image build process to create reproducible images. + +

Fix tune2fs to avoid a crash if the journal replay fails and to make +sure its exit status is non-zero if there is some failure. + +

Fix tune2fs, fuse2fs, and debugsfs to update j_tail_sequence when +replaying the journal. + +

Add additional bullet-proofing for very badly corrupted file systems. +Try avoid UBSAN warnings, null pointer derferences, and other memory +bugs. (Addresses CVE-2022-1304) + +

Don't fail when the source directory for mke2fs -d doesn't support +extended attributese. + +

Check for and handle malloc() failures when computing the log filename +in e2fsck and in the libss library. + +

Fix tune2fs and e2fsck to accept pathames which include '=' characters. +Previously arguments to tune2fs and e2fsck which included '=' characters +are presumed to be blkid specifiers such as UUID=xxx or LABEL=yyy. If a +specifier is both a valid pathname name and blkid tag name specifier, +priority is given to a blkid resolved pathname. + +

Improve tune2fs's error messages. + +

Fix a bug in tune2fs which could cause it to crash if device goes +off-line just as it being opened. + +

Fix the fsck driver so if it is interrupted while running fsck -N it +doesn't end up kllling all processes on the system. + +

Fix a crash in badblocks when the user specifies an overly large +number of blocks tested at a time in read/write or nondestructive +mode. + +

Update and clarify's chattr's man page and usage message. Fix spelling +typo's in a variety of different man pages and comments. + + +

Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.

+ +

Update to autoconf 2.71. + +

Update flags used to create shared library on Darwin/MacOS. + +

Speed up e2fsck's clonning of multiply-claimed blocks so it is +substantially faster on very large file systems. + +

Add tests/fuzz directory with fuzzers from oss-fuzz. + +

Add a Github Actions configuration file so that Github will run CI tests +on Linux, Windows and MacOS on a push to the e2fsprogs github repo. + +

Make the mtab parsing in ext2fs_check_mount_point() more careful so it +won't get confused when a block device shows up in the mnt_name field +for a virtual file system. + +

Fix the libss's Makefile to create the man page directory before trying +to install its man page. + +

Fix various Coverity and compiler warnings. + +

Make tests more portable on various different OS's and system +configurations (e.g., with SELinux enabled, MacOS, and Windows) + +

Use mallinfo2() instead of mallinfo() where avilable, since mallinfo() +is deprecated on newer glibc versions. + +

E2fsck will no longer do a full scan of disconnected directory when +trying to print the parent directory, which is pointless and can slow +down e2fsck if there are a large number of disconnected directories. + +

Debugfs will now print the extended attribute's e_hash field. + +

Fix the setup-schroot script to work on non-Linux platforms. + +

Fix ext2fs_compare_generic_bmap() so it correctly compares all of the +bits in the bitmap, and so that it works correctly when comparing a +bitarray bitmap with a rbtree-based bitmap. (Fortunately, none of the +programs in e2fsprogs uses bitmap comparison functions.) + +

Fix memory leaks on error paths. + +

Add support for the configure option --enable-largefile so that +e2fsprogs can utilize largefile support for the MUSL C library. + +

Add an note that the dict library code has been modified, as required by +the Kazlib license. + +

Synchronized changes from Android's AOSP e2fsprogs tree. + +

Updated config.guess and config.sub with newer versions from the FSF. + +

Add Friulian translation. + +

Update Chinese, Czech, Dutch, French, German, Malay, Polish, Serbian, +Spanish, Swedish, and Ukrainian translations. + +
