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

361 system with bigalloc enabled. (Closes: #744953)
362 * Fix mke2fs so it more correctly handles large flex_bg counts
363 * Mke2fs will check the kernel version number and not just the sysfs
364 feature flag to determine whether it is safe to enable lazy

586 corruption when growing an ext4 file system which was formatted with
587 fewer-than-normal reserved gdt blocks

589 systems with the flex_bg feature and without any reserved gdt
590 blocks or if the file system did not have the resize_inode feature
591 * Further optimize resize2fs so it doesn't use quite as much CPU when
592 resizing very large file systems.

933 message to be printed when the file system was mounted (Closes: #632637)
934 * Fixed portability problems which was causing build failures on
935 non-Linux/non-x86 systems.
936 * Verify that the bad block inode looks sane before trusting it, to
937 avoid it causing more harm than good.
938 * Fixed the debian/rules file so that it build successfully if

1161 doesn't apply to *me*" :-(
1162 * e2fsck -n will now always open the file system read-only. We now
1163 disallow certain combination of options which previously were manual
1164 exceptions; this is bad because it causes users to think they are
1165 smarter than they really are. So "-n -c", "-n -l", "-n -L", and

1203 * E2fsck was depending on i_size to be correct to detect and fix
1204 certain directory problems before actually fixing the

1223 have the HUGE_FILE_FL flag set.
1224 * Change e2fsck to accept superblock times to be fudged by up to 24
1225 hours by default. Most distributions have fixed their init scripts,
1226 but apparently now they have buggy virtualization scripts. :-( I
1227 give up, too many buggy user space set ups out there. (Closes: #557636)

1260 * Fix e2fsck to handle moving inode tables in FLEX_BG filesystems more
1261 gracefully by looking in the entire flex_bg for space, instead of
1262 just in the block group; if that doesn't work, try looking for
1263 space in the entire filesystem.

1452 * Fix blkid to deal with an ext3 filesystem with the test_fs flag
1453 * Fix debugfs's ncheck output to suppress extra characters at the end

1457 * Speed up tune2fs's inode resizing code so it is no longer vastly
1458 inefficient for moderate to large filesystems
1459 * Fix dumpe2fs so it doesn't attempt to print the inline journal

1461 * Update the Catalan translation
1462 * Filter out linux-vdso.so lines when determining the library
1463 dependencies while building the initial ramdisk (Closes: #503057)
1464 * Fix e2fsck so an errant INODE_UNINIT flag set in a block group
1465 doesn't cause e2fsck to abort.
1466 * E2fsck now distinguishes between fragmented directories and
1467 fragmented files in verbose mode statistics and in the fragcheck
1469 * Avoid double-counting non-contiguous extent-based inodes in the
1470 verbose mode statistics.
1471 * E2fsck now leaves slack space when repacking directories so that a
1472 few new directory entries won't cause leaf nodes to become split
1474 * E2fsck was previously not handling the case of a corrupted interior
1475 node in the extent tree, and would crash in that case. It now will
1476 handle this and related failures robustly.
1477 * E2fsck problem descriptions involving the journal are no longer
1478 referred to as "ext3" problems, since ext4 filesystems also have
1480 * Fix a long-standing bug in e2fsck which would cause it to crash when
1481 replying journals for filesystems with block sizes greater than 8k.
1482 * Fix a regression in debugfs's logdump command so it works for
1483 filesystems with 32-bit block numbers. This was accidentally broken
1484 when the header files were changed to support the 64-bit block numbers.
1485 * Fix resize2fs for ext4 filesystems. Some blocks that that need moving
1486 when shrinking filesystems with uninit_bg feature would not be
1487 moved. In addition, blocks and inode table blocks were not being
1488 correctly freed when shrinking filesystems with the flex_bg feable,
1489 which caused resize2fs -M to fail. Finally, when blocks are moved,
1490 make sure the uninitialized flag in extents is preserved.
1491 * Add mkfs.ext4 symlink to the e2fsprogs-udeb package (Closes: #511207)
1492 * Resize2fs now reserves some extra block when calculating the minimum
1493 size to shrink the filesystem in case some extent allocation trees
1494 * Add a "set -e" to uuid-runtime's prerm script to make Lintian happy
1495 * The blkid library will now recognize btrfs filesystems and swap
1496 devices currently used by user-level software suspend.
1497 * tune2fs will not allow changing the inode size for filesystems that
1498 have the flex_bg feature enabled, since the code currently assumes
1499 the each block group's portion inode table is located in its own
1501 * Fix tune2fs -I so it won't corrupt ext3/ext4 filesystem configured
1502 for RAID storage devices.
1503 * Mke2fs now understands a -U option which allows the UUID to be
1504 specified for the new filesystem.
1505 * Mke2fs will now treat devices with exactly 16TB as if they have 16TB
1506 minus one block, since many users expect ext4 to support 16TB
1507 devices, and the true maximum size is 16TB-1.
1508 * E2fsck will now flag filesystems that have an insane s_first_ino
1509 field in their superblock.

1522 errors while trying to close a filesystem.
1523 * Fix a potential infinite loop in resize2fs when a bogus new size of
1524 0 blocks is specified on the command line.
1525 * Add an early check to see if a device is read-only to avoid lots of
1526 confusing error messages.
1527 * Fix debugfs's ncheck command so it prints all of the names of
1528 hardlinks in the same directories.
1529 * Fix a bug in libblkid so it correctly detects whether the ext4 and
1530 ext4dev filesystems are available, so that the ext4dev->ext4
1531 fallback code works correctly.

1538 * Fix e2fsck's automatic blocksize detection. This fixes a regression
1539 added in e2fsprogs 1.40.7 where e2fsck's -b option would not
1540 work if a blocksize wasn't also specified via the -B option.
1541 * Fix a potential file descriptor leak in libcom_err if the
1542 application exec's another program.
1543 * Fixed badblocks output for "badblocks -sw"
1544 * debugfs: Fix ncheck to print all pathnames for all of the specified inodes

1587 In addition the default hash algorithm can be via mke2fs.conf for
1588 mke2fs, and via a command-line option for tune2fs.
1589 * Add support for on-line resizing of ext4 filesystems with the
1590 flex_bg filesystem feature.
1591 * e2fsck now creates the journal in the middle of the filesystem,
1592 which can speed up fsync-heavy workloads.
1593 * Make the blkid library more efficient for devicemapper devices,
1594 mostly by no longer using the libdevmapper library.

1890 * New upstream release.
1891 * Mke2fs will now create new filesystems with 256 byte inodes and the
1892 ext_attr feature flag by default. This allows for much better
1893 future compatibity with ext4 and speeds up extended attributes
1894 even on ext3 filesystems.
1895 * Teach mke2fs and tune2fs to set a "test_fs" flag, which indicates
1896 that it is ok to use the filesystem on in-development kernel
1897 code (i.e., ext4dev)
1898 * E2fsck now optimizes non-htree directories by sorting them by inode
1900 * Add support for detecting HFS+ and ext4/ext4dev filesystems in blkid
1901 * Fix blkid's ntfs UUID handling so it is compatible with vol_id
1902 * Avoid a floating point exception when blkid tries to probe a corrpt
1903 reiserfs filesystem.

1909 * E2fsck will no longer backup superblocks when the kernel makes
1910 certain "safe" feature set changes behind the user's back.

1923 e2fsprogs (1.40.4-1) unstable; urgency=low
1925 * Make sure that programs like tune2fs, when modifying a mounted
1926 filesystem do not write the backup superblocks with the
1927 NEEDS_RECOVERY flag, to avoid e2fsck from needlessly forcing a
1928 full fsck because it thinks the feature flags need to be backed up
1929 from the master to the backup superblocks. (Closes: #454926)
1930 * Improve time-based UUID generation to guarantee uniqueness even when
1931 UUID's are being generated at very high rates on SMP systems. To
1932 do this we use an optional setuid helper daemon (uuidd) which is
1933 started by libuuid when it is needed. The uuidd daemon is
1934 packaged in the (new) uuid-runtime package, which now also includes
1935 the uuidgen program (which had been previously been included as
1936 part of the e2fsprogs package).
1937 * Fix fsck to only treat '#' characters at the beginning of /etc/fstab
1938 lines as starting a comment. This avoids spurious warnings printed
1939 for filesystems such as fuse that often use '#' as part of the
1940 filesystem specifier (i.e., wdfs#https://dav.hoster.com/foo).
1941 * Enhance the blkid program to pretty-print control and meta
1942 characters to avoid garbage filesystem labels from screwing up the
1944 * Fix potential integer overflows passed to malloc() in resize2fs

3044 * Fix XFS superblock definition. Add support to extract UUID and
3045 labels for JFS and ROMFS.
3046 * Make the random number generator more paranoid about potentially buggy
3047 /dev/random devices.
3048 * The badblocks program now flushes its output as it discovers bad blocks.
3049 * Imported bug fixes to EVMS driver from the EVMS 2.0 tree. Fixed a
3050 few potential hangs, and eliminated a file descriptor leak.
3051 * E2fsck now updates the global free block and inode counters from
3052 the block group specific counters quietly. This is needed for an
3053 experimental kernel patch which improves SMP scalability by not
3054 locking the entire filesystem during block or inode allocation; if
3055 the filesystem is not unmoutned cleanly, the global counts may not

3253 dereferencing, fsck did not finds LVM volumes by UUID or by label,
3254 largefile support (ie. dealing with filesystems inside 2GB+ files) was
3255 broken in several programs.
3256 * Switch to debhelper v3 to get ldconfig automatically handled
3257 (lintian reported that it was broken). Now call dh_makeshlibs, but
3258 still override its generated shlibs file with ours, to get compiled
3259 packages depend of the correct virtual packages, which include

3263 more properly handled by debhelper. Removed an "exit 0" lurking in
