Release notes for the e2fsprogs package

+

E2fsprogs 1.41.6 (May 30, 2009)

+ +

Fix a critical regression in e2fsck introduced version 1.41.5 which +can undo updates to the block group descriptors after a journal replay.

+ +

If e2fsck receives an I/O error while replaying the journal, prompt +the user whether they want to ignore the error or not; if e2fsck is +run in preen mode, force fsck to abort the preen pass.

+ +

Fix a bug which would cause e2fsck to core dump if the filesystem +contains a corrupt extent header, and the user declines to clear the +inode. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #2791794)

+ +

Fix e2fsck to restart only once in the case of multiple block groups +which inodes in use that are in the uninitialized part of the block +group's inode table.

+ +

To reduce user confusion, if the /etc/mtab file is missing +ext2fs_check_mount_point and ext2fs_check_if_mounted will return a +new, explicit error code to indicate this case. This will cause +e2fsck to give a clearer error message when the user is using buggy +rescue CD's that don't properly set up /etc/mtab. (Addresses Debian +Bug: #527859)

+ +

Fix e2fsck so that if the primary group descriptors are corrupted, but +the backup superblock is entirely invalid, to go back to using (and +fixing) the priary group descriptors instead of completely giving up +on the filesystem. (Addresses Debian Bug: #516820)

+ +

Change e2fsck to not abort a preen pass if an inode is found to have +i_file_acl_hi non-zero. Ext3 filesystems don't care, and newer +kernels (post 2.6.29) will ignore this field. So let's fix it +automatically during the preen pass instead of forcing the user to fix +this up manually. (Addresses Debian Bug: #526524)

+ +

Add resource tracking for e2fsck passes 1b through 1d.

+ +

Speed up e2fsck by eliminating unnecessary journal checks if the +filesystem is already mounted and doesn't need recovery (since the +kernel would have run the journal when the filesystem was mounted.) +Also speed up e2fsck by avoiding unnecessary block group descriptor +updates in ext2fs_close().

+ +

Add support to chattr to migrate inodes from using direct/indirect +blocks to extents.

+ +

Avoid corrupting the filesystem if there is an attempt to shrink a +filesystem using resize2fs smaller than posible by making +ext2fs_set_bmap() more careful not to delete the old block until the +new block can be inserted. In addition, fix a bug in how the minimum +size of the filesystem (plus a safety margin) is calculated, and +modify resize2fs to refuse to shrink the filesystem below that minimum +size without the force flag.

+ +

Teach blkid to try to figure out DM device names using take advantage +of information in sysfs when running on kernels (2.6.29 and later) +which provide this information in /sys/block/dm-/dm/name; this is +much faster than scanning for the devncie number in /dev/mapper.

+ +

Fix blkid to prefer /dev/mapper/ device names instad of the +private /dev/dm-X names.

+ +

Add an -a option to debugfs's close_filesys command which writes any +changes to the superblock or block group descriptors to all of the +backup superblock locations.

+ +

Add support to the filefrag program to use the FIEMAP ioctl.

+ +

Update Chinese translation from the Translation Project.

+ +

Clean up various man pages. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: #502971 and +Launchpad Bug: #381854)

+ +

Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for +details. (Addresses Debian Bug #506064)

+ +

Programmer's Notes

+ +

Add test code to make sure e2fsck's problem.c doesn't have two problem +codes assigned to duplicate values.

+ +

Avoid using a hard-coded path for /bin/rm in block's test_probe.in. +(Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #2780205)

+ +

Clean up e2fsck by removing #ifdef RESOURCE_TRACK by adding an empty +function declaration for init_resource_track() and +print_resource_track() when RESOURCE_TRACK is not defined.

+ +

The test code which is used to build the tst_csum progam has been +moved from from tst_csum.c into csum.c under an #ifdef DEBUG to to +avoid compile problems caused by not having a prototype for +ext2fs_group_desc_csum(). (Addresses Sourceforge Bug #2484331)

+ +

Update the config.guess and config.sub file to the latest from the +FSF, to allow e2fsprogs to build on the avr32 platform. (Addresses +Debian Bug: #528330)

+ +

Add a new function, ext2fs_extent_open2(), which behaves like +pext2fs_extent_open(), but uses the user-supplied inode structure +when opening an extent instead of reading the inode from disk.

+ +
