1025 * E2fsck will now notice invalid quota inode numbers, and offer to fix
1027 * Fix a regression introduced in e2fsprogs 1.43 which broke mke2fs's
1028 hugefile creation so that they aren't contiguous.

1430 * Fix a bug which caused e2fsck to abort a journal replay on a file
1431 system with bigalloc enabled. (Closes: #744953)
1432 * Fix mke2fs so it more correctly handles large flex_bg counts
1433 * Mke2fs will check the kernel version number and not just the sysfs
1434 feature flag to determine whether it is safe to enable lazy
1435 inode table initialization, so it won't get faked out if the ext4 is
1436 compiled as a module which hasn't happened to be loaded yet.

1472 * New upstream version
1473 * The mke2fs program no longer requires a force (-F) option when
1474 when creating a file system in a regular file, since this is a very
1475 common use case when managing virtual machine images
1476 * The mke2fs program will now ask for confirmation before wiping out a
1477 pre-existing file system, partition label, or physical volume
1478 * Fix e2fsck so that it properly handles an inconsistent quota inode.
1479 Previously the quota inode could be completely corrupted, and
1480 missing quota records could be not noticed
1481 * Fix mke2fs so if packed metadata blocks are enabled that the block
1482 group checksum are set correctly
1483 * Debugfs has new commands to allow the quota inode to be queried directly
1484 * Tune2fs will allow removal of dirty journal with two "-f" options
1486 * Fixed some off-line resize2fs bugs when relocating metadata blocks
1487 when growing or shrinking bigalloc file systems
1488 * Fixed resize2fs's calculation of the minimum required file system
1489 size. This allows resize2fs -M to shrink the file system more

1492 file system to a very very small size
1493 * Fixed e4defrag to work with 64-bit and bigalloc file systems
1494 * Fixed e2fsck to not issue a large number of very scary (but
1495 harmless) corruption messages when checking very large file systems
1496 when the file system has more inodes than the number of seconds
1497 since January 1, 1970.
1498 * E2fsck will now check the whole file system if file system problems
1499 are detected during its initial "pass 0" sanity check
1500 * Filefrag now prints the "shared extent" flag which is used by some
1501 file systems such as btrfs
1502 * The mke2fs program would previously correctly omit the resize_inode
1503 feature when creating a file system > 16TB when the fs size was
1504 determined automatically. It will now also do the right thing when
1505 the user explicitly specifies the file system size.

1576 systems using the -ra options. New options to help with this use
1577 case that were added: -o, -O, -p, and -c.
1578 * Fixed a regression introduced in 1.42.8 which would cause e2fsck to

1612 blocks aren't left outside the bounds of the shrunken file system.
1613 This could happen with flex_bg file systems that were grown using
1614 the old online resizing algorithm.

1648 the call to ext2fs_open2() fails.
1649 * Fixed e2fsck if its logging function is enabled in e2fsck.conf, and
1650 the resulting file name for the log file is longer than 100 bytes,
1651 that it properly handles this situation instead of crashing.
1652 * E2fsck will now report the amount of memory that it attempted to
1653 allocate when a memory allocation request fails, to make it easier to
1654 track down the problem.
1655 * Fixed a bug in resize2fs which could cause severe file system
1656 corruption when growing an ext4 file system which was formatted with
1657 fewer-than-normal reserved gdt blocks
1658 * Fixed resize2fs to be able to handle off-line resizes of file
1659 systems with the flex_bg feature and without any reserved gdt
1660 blocks or if the file system did not have the resize_inode feature
1661 * Further optimize resize2fs so it doesn't use quite as much CPU when
1662 resizing very large file systems.
1663 * Fixed 32-bit overflow bugs which could cause resize2fs to fail and
1664 possibly corrupt the file system while resizing 64-bit file systems.

1841 problems that were found and fixed directly.
1842 * E2fsck can now limit the number of messages issued and printed on
1844 * The dumpe2fs, debugfs, and tune2fs now use rbtree bitmaps, which
1845 cause them to use much less memory for large file systems.
1846 * E2fsck will now check for zero-length extents, since older kernels will
1847 OOPS if they comes across one
1848 * Fix e2fsck's discard behavior so it does not discard too many
1849 blocks, and it will not use discard if the device advertises
1850 that discard does not persistently zero data. Also, if e2fsck is
1851 run in read-only mode, do not try to discard data.

2257 * Add libss support for libreadline.so.6
2258 * Fix e2fsck's check for extent-mapped directory with an incorrect file type
2259 * Add new e2fsck.conf configuration option:
2260 default/broken_system_clock for system with broken CMOS hardware
2261 clocks. (Closes: #559776)
2262 * Fix flex_bg inode table placement algorithm used by mke2fs for
2263 certain specific file system sizes
2264 * Add source lintian overrides for weak-library-dev-dependency
2265 * Fix FTBFS problem caused by texi2html changing (again) its output
2266 location. (Closes: #552934)
2267 * Make e2fsck to avoid rehashing directories which can fit in a
2268 single directory block.
2269 * Fix how e2fsck fixes sparse directories which are extent-mapped.
2270 * Fix some big-endian bugs in e2fsck and libext2fs
2271 * Teach e2fsck to detect and fix sparse extent-mapped directories
2272 * Fix filefrag from core dumping on file systems with 8k block sizes
2273 * E2fsck was depending on i_size to be correct to detect and fix
2274 certain directory problems before actually fixing the
2275 directory's i_size. This caused certain rare corruptions to
2276 require two runs of e2fsck to address.
2277 * Update Czech, Indonesian, Polish and Vietnamese translations
2278 (from the Translation Project)
2279 * Fix e2fsck to find and correct duplicate directory entries in
2280 non-indexed directories.

2289 * Update and clarify various man pages.
2290 * Corrected dumpe2fs's usage message
2291 * Teach libext2fs to ignore the high 32 bits of the i_blocks field
2292 when huge_file file system feature is set, but the inode does not
2293 have the HUGE_FILE_FL flag set.
2294 * Change e2fsck to accept superblock times to be fudged by up to 24
2295 hours by default. Most distributions have fixed their init scripts,
2296 but apparently now they have buggy virtualization scripts. :-( I
2297 give up, too many buggy user space set ups out there. (Closes: #557636)
2298 * Fix e2fsck to correctly print > 32-bit i_blocks numbers in problem reports
2299 * Improve e2fsck so it prints "Illegal indirect block" instead of

2302 it to populate the superblock stride and stripe sizes and warn if
2303 the block device is misaligned

2309 flex_bg is enabled, to prevent resize2fs -M from failing.
2310 * Dumpe2fs now displays more information about the contents of the journal
2311 * Make sure the libblkid1 and libblkid1-dbg packages have changelogs
2312 * On low memory systems, e2fsck can print some very scary looking
2313 error messages. Clean up them up to avoid user panic. (Closes: #509529)
2314 * Enhance blkid to support .ko.gz files in the modules.dep parser
2315 * Fix tune2fs -j for mounted exted-enabled file systems
2316 * Use the feature name "extent" instead of "extents" in mke2fs.conf.
2317 Both work, but the latter is what is documented in the man page.

2326 filesystems formatted for RAID arrays, and ENOSPC errors
2327 * Require the user to only answer one question instead of multiple
2328 ones for multiple bad block group checksums, or when an inode
2329 table needs to be moved.
2330 * Fix e2fsck to handle moving inode tables in FLEX_BG filesystems more
2331 gracefully by looking in the entire flex_bg for space, instead of
2332 just in the block group; if that doesn't work, try looking for
2333 space in the entire filesystem.
2334 * Fix the filefrag code to avoid printing the extent header if it
2335 needs to fallback to using the FIBMAP ioctl.
2336 * Fix filefrag to print the correct number of extents for zero-length
2337 files when using FIBMAP. (Closes: #540376)
2338 * Add a filefrag -B option to make it easier to debug the FIBMAP
2340 * Allow e2fsprogs programs to allocate from uninitialized block groups.
2341 * Add a new program, e2freefrag, which displays information about the
2342 free space fragmentation in an ext2/3/4 filesystem.
2343 * E2fsck will now print much fuller information when the last mount
2344 time or last written time is in the future, since most people can't
2345 seem to believe their distribution has buggy init scripts, or they
2346 have a failed CMOS/RTS clock battery.
2347 * Update French, Polish, Czech, and Swedish translation from the
2348 Translation Project.
2349 * Enhance debugfs's 'stat' command to print basic extent information
2350 for extent-mapped inodes, and add a new command, 'dump_extents'
2351 which prints detailed information about an inode's extent tree.

2396 * Fix a bug in libext2fs which can cause e2fsck and resize2fs to write
2397 uninitialized data into the portion of the inode beyond the first 128
2398 bytes when operating on extents; potentially corrupting filesystems.

2406 journal and resize inodes.

2409 fsck after resizing the filesystem.

2537 fragmented files in verbose mode statistics and in the fragcheck

2540 verbose mode statistics.
2541 * E2fsck now leaves slack space when repacking directories so that a
2542 few new directory entries won't cause leaf nodes to become split

2545 node in the extent tree, and would crash in that case. It now will
2546 handle this and related failures robustly.

2551 replying journals for filesystems with block sizes greater than 8k.

2553 filesystems with 32-bit block numbers. This was accidentally broken
2554 when the header files were changed to support the 64-bit block numbers.
2555 * Fix resize2fs for ext4 filesystems. Some blocks that that need moving
2556 when shrinking filesystems with uninit_bg feature would not be
2557 moved. In addition, blocks and inode table blocks were not being
2558 correctly freed when shrinking filesystems with the flex_bg feable,
2559 which caused resize2fs -M to fail. Finally, when blocks are moved,

2566 devices currently used by user-level software suspend.

2568 have the flex_bg feature enabled, since the code currently assumes
2569 the each block group's portion inode table is located in its own

2962 ext_attr feature flag by default. This allows for much better
2963 future compatibility with ext4 and speeds up extended attributes
2964 even on ext3 filesystems.

2997 NEEDS_RECOVERY flag, to avoid e2fsck from needlessly forcing a
2998 full fsck because it thinks the feature flags need to be backed up
2999 from the master to the backup superblocks. (Closes: #454926)

3001 UUID's are being generated at very high rates on SMP systems. To
3002 do this we use an optional setuid helper daemon (uuidd) which is
3003 started by libuuid when it is needed. The uuidd daemon is
3004 packaged in the (new) uuid-runtime package, which now also includes
3005 the uuidgen program (which had been previously been included as
3006 part of the e2fsprogs package).
3007 * Fix fsck to only treat '#' characters at the beginning of /etc/fstab
3008 lines as starting a comment. This avoids spurious warnings printed
3009 for filesystems such as fuse that often use '#' as part of the
3010 filesystem specifier (i.e., wdfs#https://dav.hoster.com/foo).

3532 * New upstream release.
3533 * Fixed a bug in e2fsck so it would notice if a file with an extended
3534 attribute block was exactly 2**32 blocks, such that i_blocks wrapped
3536 * Fixed a bug in filefrag which caused it to falsely report a
3537 discontinuity when there are one or more unallocated blocks at the
3538 beginning of a file.
3539 * Fix the missing translations (caused by a bug in the gen-tarball
3540 script). (Closes: #296769)
3541 * Add support in e2fsck and debugfs for extended attributes in inodes.
3542 * Fix the missing translations (caused by a bug in the gen-tarball script).

3577 the old inode table blocks when we move the inode table.
3579 * Make sure that we don't write garbage when writing a large inode.
3580 * Check NTFS ahead of other filesystems since Windows doesn't always
3581 clearing enough of the partition to avoid false positives with older
3582 filesystems. (Closes: #291990)

3633 999,999,999 in its progress display.
3634 * tune2fs will not allow the user from setting a ridiculous number of
3635 reserved blocks which would cause e2fsck to assume the superblock
3636 was corrupt. E2fsck's standards for what is a ridiculous number
3637 of reserved blocks has also been relaxed to 50% of the blocks in
3639 * The blkid library will return vfat in preference to msdos, and ext3 in

3649 than specifying a block count.
3650 * Fix an obscure, hard-to find bug in "e2fsck -S" caused by an inode
3651 cache coherency problem.
3652 * Debugfs now supports a new command, set_inode_field, which allows a
3653 user to manually set a specific inode field more conveniently, as
3654 well as set entries in the indirect block map.
3655 * Debugfs's set_super_value command has been enhanced so that the user
3656 can set most superblock fields, including the date/time fields and
3657 some of the more newly added superblock fields.
3658 * E2fsprogs programs now accept an offset to be passed to the file
3659 specifiers, via the syntax: "/tmp/test.img?offset=1024"
3660 * E2fsprogs will now accept blocksizes up to 65536; kernel support on
3661 the x86 doesn't exist, but it is useful on other architectures.
3662 * Fix bug in debugfs where kill_file would lead to errors when deleting
3663 devices and symlinks. (Sourceforge Bugs #954741 and #957244)

3730 * Minor updates to German translation (Closes: #244105)
3731 * Since woody's sysvinit package is before the initscripts were broken out
