Release notes for the e2fsprogs package

+

E2fsprogs 1.42.12 (August 29, 2014)

+ +

Fix various e2fsck bugs when trying to repair bigalloc file systems.

+ +

E2fsck can now repair a file system with an overly large +s_first_meta_bg field, which had previously caused all e2fsprogs +programs to crash when trying to open such a file system.

+ +

Fix e2fsck so that it can correctly fix a number of rare file system +corruptions that were discovered when using a file system fuzzer.

+ +

Fix e2fsck so it does not try to write back block group descriptors if +they have not been modified.

+ +

Mke2fs program will now place metadata blocks in the last flex_bg so +they are contiguous. This reduces free space fragmentation in a +freshly created file system, as well as allowing mke2fs commands which +request extremely large flex_bg size to succeed.

+ +

Mke2fs now creates hugefiles more efficiently (with fewer extent tree +blocks).

+ +

Fix a 32/64-bit overflow bug that could cause resize2fs to loop +forever. (Addresses-Launchpad-Bug: #1321958)

+ +

The resize2fs program will now use much less memory when resizing very +large file systems.

+ +

Fix a bug which could cause resize2fs to get confused and produce a +corrupted file system when shrinking a file system that had been +previously expanded and converted to use the meta_bg file system +format, but which no longer needs to use the meta_bg file system +format any longer. This typically happened with large (> 16TB) file +systems. (Addresses Debian Bug: #756922)

+ +

The e4defrag program will now defrag backwards-allocated files.

+ +

Fix tune2fs updating UUID's when manipulating file systems with +external journals (both the file system and journal UUID).

+ +

Fix tune2fs so it can remove an external journal for file systems with +a 1k block size.

+ +

Add a new debugfs command, "inode_dump", which prints the inode in hex +and ASCII format.

+ +

The debugfs's "set_inode_field" will now automatically allocate blocks +for indirect blocks and extent tree blocks.

+ +

Fix debugfs's "set_inode_field" so can properly handle +"block[IND|DIND|TIND]".

+ +

The debugfs "rdump" command will now take multiple source arguments.

+ +

Fixed a double close(2) bug in "rdump" and "rdump -p".

+ +

Fix debugfs's argument parsing for the freefrag command.

+ +

Fix filefrag to properly handle using the FIBMAP ioctl (with -B). +(Addresses Launchpad Bug: #1356496)

+ +

Clarified messages that were confusing users in debugfs, e2fsck, +mke2fs, and resize2fs (Addresses Debian Bugs: #758029, #757543, +#757544)

+ +

Dumpe2fs will now complain if extra arguments are given to it. +(Addresses Debian Bug: #758074)

+ +

Updated/fixed various man pages. (Addresses-Debian-Bug: #726760)

+ +

Update Czech, Dutch, French, Polish, Spanish, Sweedish, Ukrainian, and +Vietnamese translations.

+ +

Programmer's Notes

+ +

The Unix I/O layer will now use pread[64]/pwrite[64] to reduce the +number of system calls issued.

+ +

Fixed profiled build.

+ +

The libext2fs library will now more efficiently split an extent tree +index block when appending to an end of a file.

+ +

Fixed free block accounting for 64-bit file systems.

+ +

Add a new function ext2s_inode_size_set() which takes care of all of +the required feature flag modifications.

+ +

The regression tests no longer require the presence of the md5sum +program.

+ +

Fix build failure on MIPS platforms on Debian (Addresses Debian Bug: +#754605)

+ +

Fix various Coverity warnings (#1225003, #1229243, #1252003)

+
