1155 if they have not been modified.
1156 * The mke2fs program will now place metadata blocks in the last
1157 flex_bg so they are contiguous. This reduces free space
1158 fragmentation in a freshly created file system, as well as allowing
1159 mke2fs commands which request extremely large flex_bg size to succeed.

1212 system with bigalloc enabled. (Closes: #744953)
1213 * Fix mke2fs so it more correctly handles large flex_bg counts

1216 inode table initialization, so it won't get faked out if the ext4 is
1217 compiled as a module which hasn't happened to be loaded yet.

1392 * Fix resize2fs when shrinking file systems to make sure that bitmap
1393 blocks aren't left outside the bounds of the shrunken file system.
1394 This could happen with flex_bg file systems that were grown using
1395 the old online resizing algorithm.

1420 * New upstream version
1421 * Add warning indicating that the quota and bigalloc features are
1422 still under development.
1423 * Added new options to filefrag to be consistent with the version from
1425 * Optimized e2fsck's CPU utilization
1426 * Fixed e2fsck so it detects and fixes inconsistencies in the interior
1427 nodes of an inode's extent tree
1428 * Fixed a potential memory corruption failure in e2fsck's error path if
1429 the call to ext2fs_open2() fails.
1430 * Fixed e2fsck if its logging function is enabled in e2fsck.conf, and
1431 the resulting file name for the log file is longer than 100 bytes,
1432 that it properly handles this situation instead of crashing.
1433 * E2fsck will now report the amount of memory that it attempted to
1434 allocate when a memory allocation request fails, to make it easier to
1435 track down the problem.
1436 * Fixed a bug in resize2fs which could cause severe file system
1437 corruption when growing an ext4 file system which was formatted with
1438 fewer-than-normal reserved gdt blocks
1439 * Fixed resize2fs to be able to handle off-line resizes of file
1440 systems with the flex_bg feature and without any reserved gdt
1441 blocks or if the file system did not have the resize_inode feature
1442 * Further optimize resize2fs so it doesn't use quite as much CPU when
1443 resizing very large file systems.
1444 * Fixed 32-bit overflow bugs which could cause resize2fs to fail and
1445 possibly corrupt the file system while resizing 64-bit file systems.
1446 * Fixed a big which could cause resize2fs to corrupt bigalloc file systems.
1447 * Fix a crash while mke2fs is parsing "-E resize=NNN" with the 64bit
1448 file system feature enabled
1449 * Added better error checking to mke2fs to check for invalid
1450 parameters when creating bigalloc file system.
1451 * When creating bigalloc filesystems, the -g option to mke2fs will now
1452 specify the number of clusters per block group.
1453 * Added the "symlink", "zap_block", "block_dump", and "extent_open"
1455 * Fixed debugfs's htree command so that all its messages are sent
1457 * Fixed debugfs's dump_file and cat functions so they work correctly
1458 on file systems with a block size greater than 8k.
1459 * Fixed mke2fs's handling of the mmp_update_interval option
1460 * Fixed e2freefrag so it works on 64-bit file systems, and so it uses
1462 * E2image can now include all data blocks in the e2image output
1463 file when the user specifies the -a option.
1464 * Fixed debugfs's mknod command so that it updates the block group
1466 * Document the bigalloc feature in the mke2fs man page.
1468 * Update Czech, Dutch, French, German, Polish, Swedish, and
1469 Vietnamese translations

1488 of uninit_bg file systems.
1489 * Resize2fs now supports on-line resizing 64-bit file systems beyond
1490 16TB. A number of bugs in resize2fs which prevented this have been
1492 * Resize2fs now correctly handles resizing 32-bit file systems to 16TB.

1509 * New upstream version
1510 * Mark the e2fsprogs package as Multi-Arch: foreign, so if a package
1511 foo:i386 depends on e2fsprogs and is installed on an amd64 system,
1512 the native e2fsprogs will satisfy the dependency. (Closes: #678395)
1513 * Fix a fd leak which could cause logsave (and hence a boot-time rc
1514 init script) to hang (Closes: #682592)
1515 * Fix a problem if e2fsck where if the root file system is mounted
1516 read-only, e2fsck would not clear an error indication in the journal
1517 superblock. Combined with a kernel bug, this would cause the e2fsck
1518 to check the file system after every single boot
1519 * Fixed filefrag so it would not seg fault on virtual filesystems such
1520 as /proc: e.g., "filefrag /proc/partitions"

1526 checked with the -f option.
1527 * Fix e2fsck so that the file system is marked as containing an
1528 error if the user chooses not to fix the quota usage information.
1529 * Fix tune2fs so that it correctly removes the quota feature when
1530 the last quota inode is removed.
1531 * Fix tune2fs so that after removing a quota inode, the block bitmap
1532 is updated; otherwise, e2fsck would complain after running 'tune2fs
1534 * Fix tune2fs so that when converting a file system from using legacy
1535 quota files to the new quota file system feature with hidden quota
1536 files, the accounting for these files is handled correctly so that
1537 e2fsck doesn't complain.

1539 /dev/mapper/testvg-testlv, instead of insisting on less
1540 human-friendly names such as /dev/dm-2

1841 in pass1b handling if the file system does not support extended
1843 * E2fsck will be more careful accidentally asking the user to continue
1844 if the file system is mounted, so that an escape sequence won't
1845 cause a false positive. (Closes: #619859)
1846 * E2fsck now uses less cpu time in pass 5
1847 * E2fsck will no longer segfault when a corrupted file system has a bad
1848 extent, and removing it leads to a block needing to be deallocated.
1849 * E2fsck now supports an extended "discard" option which will cause
1850 e2fsck to attempt discard all unused blocks after a full check
1851 * The e2image program now supports the qcow2 format, a more efficient
1852 way of capturing file system metadata snapshots.
1853 * Mke2fs now supports the [devices] stanza in mke2fs.conf.
1854 * Mke2fs now supports the reserved_ratio relation in mke2fs.conf.
1855 * Mke2fs now creates extent-mapped directories for the root and
1856 lost+found directories.
1857 * Mke2fs will skip zero'ing the journal if the extended option
1858 "lazy_journal_init" is specified.
1859 * Mke2fs will now create file systems that enable user namespace
1860 extended attributes and with time- and mount count-based file
1861 system checks disabled.

1863 block device attributes obtained from sysfs.
1864 * Mke2fs now displays a progress report during the discard process.
1865 * Mke2fs now handles extreme file system parameters correctly which
1866 previously caused the inodes per group to drop below 8, leading
1868 * Debugfs's icheck will now correctly find inodes which use the
1869 searched-for block as an extended attribute block.
1870 * Debugfs now has a new "punch" command which remove blocks from the
1872 * The badblocks program now correctly recovers from I/O errors when
1873 direct I/O is being used. The badblocks command now also
1874 supports a -B option which forces the use of buffered I/O, and
1875 the -v option will provide a more detailed breakdown of read,
1876 write, and failed comparison errors.
1877 * Added e4defrag tool which uses the EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT ioctl.
1878 * Added support for journals larger than 2GB.
1879 * Support using both hard links and symlinks when installing e2fsprogs.
1880 * Add overflow checking to tune2fs -i's fsck interval, which must fit
1882 * Filefrag will report 0 extents correctly in verbose mode.

1925 clearing the journal of a mounted, snapshotted volume if the user
1926 accidentally tries to run e2fsck on the snapshot volume (Closes: #587531)
1927 * Fix a big in e2fsck so it correct test for whether the EOFBLOCKS_FL

1984 * E2fsck will now avoid removing directory entries for inodes found in
1985 the unused region of the inode table until after it restarts the fs
1986 check to avoid removing valid data.
1987 * E2fsck will now longer try to set the block group checksums if it

2010 * Make e2fsck's "the filesystem is mounted" message is now more scary
2011 to hopefully dissuade users from thinking, "surely that message
2012 doesn't apply to *me*" :-(
2013 * e2fsck -n will now always open the file system read-only. We now
2014 disallow certain combination of options which previously were manual
2015 exceptions; this is bad because it causes users to think they are
2016 smarter than they really are. So "-n -c", "-n -l", "-n -L", and
2017 "-n -D" are no longer supported.
2018 * If the partition is badly aligned, have mke2fs just print a warning
2019 message and continue. Previously mke2fs would ask to confirm, and
2020 this broke distro installation scripts.

2022 for ext4 to be _very_ slow.
2023 * E2fsck now understands the EOFBLOCKS_FL flag which will be used in
2024 2.6.34 kernels to make e2fsck not complain about blocks deliberately
2025 fallocated() beyond an inode's i_size.

2052 * Teach e2fsck to detect and fix sparse extent-mapped directories
2053 * Fix filefrag from core dumping on file systems with 8k block sizes
2054 * E2fsck was depending on i_size to be correct to detect and fix
2055 certain directory problems before actually fixing the
2056 directory's i_size. This caused certain rare corruptions to
2057 require two runs of e2fsck to address.
2058 * Update Czech, Indonesian, Polish and Vietnamese translations
2059 (from the Translation Project)
2060 * Fix e2fsck to find and correct duplicate directory entries in
2061 non-indexed directories.
2062 * Add support for calling BLKDISCARD to mke2fs.
2063 * Enhance libext2fs so it works around bug in Linux version 2.6.19
2064 and earlier where the /proc/swaps file was missing the header on
2066 * Fix resize2fs so it works correctly on file systems with external journals
2067 * Fix libss so that it does not seg fault when using a readline
2068 library which does not supply a readline_shutdown() function.
2069 * Add a pre-depends for util-linux-ng (Closes: #551795)
2070 * Update and clarify various man pages.
2071 * Corrected dumpe2fs's usage message
2072 * Teach libext2fs to ignore the high 32 bits of the i_blocks field
2073 when huge_file file system feature is set, but the inode does not
2074 have the HUGE_FILE_FL flag set.
2075 * Change e2fsck to accept superblock times to be fudged by up to 24
2076 hours by default. Most distributions have fixed their init scripts,
2077 but apparently now they have buggy virtualization scripts. :-( I
2078 give up, too many buggy user space set ups out there. (Closes: #557636)
2079 * Fix e2fsck to correctly print > 32-bit i_blocks numbers in problem reports
2080 * Improve e2fsck so it prints "Illegal indirect block" instead of

2083 it to populate the superblock stride and stripe sizes and warn if
2084 the block device is misaligned

2109 ones for multiple bad block group checksums, or when an inode
2110 table needs to be moved.
2111 * Fix e2fsck to handle moving inode tables in FLEX_BG filesystems more
2112 gracefully by looking in the entire flex_bg for space, instead of
2113 just in the block group; if that doesn't work, try looking for
2114 space in the entire filesystem.
2115 * Fix the filefrag code to avoid printing the extent header if it
2116 needs to fallback to using the FIBMAP ioctl.
2117 * Fix filefrag to print the correct number of extents for zero-length
2118 files when using FIBMAP. (Closes: #540376)
2119 * Add a filefrag -B option to make it easier to debug the FIBMAP
2121 * Allow e2fsprogs programs to allocate from uninitialized block groups.
2122 * Add a new program, e2freefrag, which displays information about the
2123 free space fragmentation in an ext2/3/4 filesystem.
2124 * E2fsck will now print much fuller information when the last mount
2125 time or last written time is in the future, since most people can't
2126 seem to believe their distribution has buggy init scripts, or they
2127 have a failed CMOS/RTS clock battery.

2129 Translation Project.
2130 * Enhance debugfs's 'stat' command to print basic extent information

2177 * Fix a bug in libext2fs which can cause e2fsck and resize2fs to write
2178 uninitialized data into the portion of the inode beyond the first 128
2179 bytes when operating on extents; potentially corrupting filesystems.

2316 doesn't cause e2fsck to abort.
2317 * E2fsck now distinguishes between fragmented directories and
2318 fragmented files in verbose mode statistics and in the fragcheck
2320 * Avoid double-counting non-contiguous extent-based inodes in the
2321 verbose mode statistics.
2322 * E2fsck now leaves slack space when repacking directories so that a
2323 few new directory entries won't cause leaf nodes to become split
2325 * E2fsck was previously not handling the case of a corrupted interior
2326 node in the extent tree, and would crash in that case. It now will
2327 handle this and related failures robustly.
2328 * E2fsck problem descriptions involving the journal are no longer
2329 referred to as "ext3" problems, since ext4 filesystems also have
2331 * Fix a long-standing bug in e2fsck which would cause it to crash when
2332 replying journals for filesystems with block sizes greater than 8k.
2333 * Fix a regression in debugfs's logdump command so it works for
2334 filesystems with 32-bit block numbers. This was accidentally broken
2335 when the header files were changed to support the 64-bit block numbers.
2336 * Fix resize2fs for ext4 filesystems. Some blocks that that need moving
2337 when shrinking filesystems with uninit_bg feature would not be
2338 moved. In addition, blocks and inode table blocks were not being
2339 correctly freed when shrinking filesystems with the flex_bg feable,
2340 which caused resize2fs -M to fail. Finally, when blocks are moved,
2341 make sure the uninitialized flag in extents is preserved.
2342 * Add mkfs.ext4 symlink to the e2fsprogs-udeb package (Closes: #511207)

2344 size to shrink the filesystem in case some extent allocation trees
2345 * Add a "set -e" to uuid-runtime's prerm script to make Lintian happy
2346 * The blkid library will now recognize btrfs filesystems and swap
2347 devices currently used by user-level software suspend.
2348 * tune2fs will not allow changing the inode size for filesystems that
2349 have the flex_bg feature enabled, since the code currently assumes
2350 the each block group's portion inode table is located in its own
2352 * Fix tune2fs -I so it won't corrupt ext3/ext4 filesystem configured
2353 for RAID storage devices.
2354 * Mke2fs now understands a -U option which allows the UUID to be
2355 specified for the new filesystem.
2356 * Mke2fs will now treat devices with exactly 16TB as if they have 16TB
2357 minus one block, since many users expect ext4 to support 16TB
2358 devices, and the true maximum size is 16TB-1.

2379 hardlinks in the same directories.

2440 * Add support for on-line resizing of ext4 filesystems with the
2441 flex_bg filesystem feature.
2442 * e2fsck now creates the journal in the middle of the filesystem,
2443 which can speed up fsync-heavy workloads.

2739 e2fsprogs (1.40.5-1) unstable; urgency=low
2741 * New upstream release.
2742 * Mke2fs will now create new filesystems with 256 byte inodes and the
2743 ext_attr feature flag by default. This allows for much better
2744 future compatibility with ext4 and speeds up extended attributes
2745 even on ext3 filesystems.
2746 * Teach mke2fs and tune2fs to set a "test_fs" flag, which indicates
2747 that it is ok to use the filesystem on in-development kernel
2748 code (i.e., ext4dev)
2749 * E2fsck now optimizes non-htree directories by sorting them by inode
2751 * Add support for detecting HFS+ and ext4/ext4dev filesystems in blkid
2752 * Fix blkid's ntfs UUID handling so it is compatible with vol_id
2753 * Avoid a floating point exception when blkid tries to probe a corrupt
2754 reiserfs filesystem.
2755 * Fix potential overflow problem in e2image if the device name is
2757 * Cause e2image to exit immediately with an error message on a disk
2759 * Fix a minor typos in the resize2fs and uuidd manpages.
2760 * E2fsck will no longer backup superblocks when the kernel makes
2761 certain "safe" feature set changes behind the user's back.
2762 * Fix debugfs's lsdel command so it works on large files
2763 * Allow a user to undelete an inode with linking to a destination
2765 * Update Swedish translation file from the Translation Project
2766 * The libuuid1 and uuid-runtime packages requires passwd package, so
2767 declare it as a dependency. (Closes: #459403)

2769 doesn't provide llseek on the x86_64. (Closes: #459614)

2774 e2fsprogs (1.40.4-1) unstable; urgency=low
2776 * Make sure that programs like tune2fs, when modifying a mounted
2777 filesystem do not write the backup superblocks with the
2778 NEEDS_RECOVERY flag, to avoid e2fsck from needlessly forcing a
2779 full fsck because it thinks the feature flags need to be backed up
2780 from the master to the backup superblocks. (Closes: #454926)
2781 * Improve time-based UUID generation to guarantee uniqueness even when
2782 UUID's are being generated at very high rates on SMP systems. To
2783 do this we use an optional setuid helper daemon (uuidd) which is
2784 started by libuuid when it is needed. The uuidd daemon is
2785 packaged in the (new) uuid-runtime package, which now also includes
2786 the uuidgen program (which had been previously been included as
2787 part of the e2fsprogs package).
2788 * Fix fsck to only treat '#' characters at the beginning of /etc/fstab
2789 lines as starting a comment. This avoids spurious warnings printed
2790 for filesystems such as fuse that often use '#' as part of the
2791 filesystem specifier (i.e., wdfs#https://dav.hoster.com/foo).
2792 * Enhance the blkid program to pretty-print control and meta
2793 characters to avoid garbage filesystem labels from screwing up the
2795 * Fix potential integer overflows passed to malloc() in resize2fs
2796 * Update Dutch, Polish, and Vietnamese translations from the
2797 Translation Project. Remove the Rwandan translation upon advice
2798 of the Translation Project.
2799 * Fix cross-compilation support for non-Linux architectures
2800 (Closes: #451172, #437720)
2801 * Clarified and improved man pages (Closes: #444883, #441872)

2803 invalid FAT filesystem.
2804 * Make error_message() in libcom_err DTRT when when a 64-bit sign-extended
2805 error code is passed to it.
2806 * Build the e2fsck-static package so that e2fsck.static will not use
2807 TLS and hence will run correctly on back-level Debian systems
2808 using a 2.4 Linux kernel. (Closes: #458017)

4101 visible journal files (data corruption problems when not excluded from

4105 largefile support (ie. dealing with filesystems inside 2GB+ files) was
4106 broken in several programs.
4107 * Switch to debhelper v3 to get ldconfig automatically handled

4109 still override its generated shlibs file with ours, to get compiled
4110 packages depend of the correct virtual packages, which include
