603 * New upstream version
604 * Fix various e2fsck bugs when trying to repair bigalloc file systems.
605 * E2fsck can now repair a file system with an overly large
606 s_first_meta_bg field, which had previously caused all e2fsprogs

611 if they have not been modified.
612 * The mke2fs program will now place metadata blocks in the last
613 flex_bg so they are contiguous. This reduces free space
614 fragmentation in a freshly created file system, as well as allowing
615 mke2fs commands which request extremely large flex_bg size to succeed.
616 * Mke2fs now creates hugefiles more efficiently (with fewer extent

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

733 when the file system has more inodes than the number of seconds
734 since January 1, 1970.

963 e2fsprogs (1.42.5-1) unstable; urgency=low
965 * New upstream version
966 * Mark the e2fsprogs package as Multi-Arch: foreign, so if a package
967 foo:i386 depends on e2fsprogs and is installed on an amd64 system,
968 the native e2fsprogs will satisfy the dependency. (Closes: #678395)
969 * Fix a fd leak which could cause logsave (and hence a boot-time rc
970 init script) to hang (Closes: #682592)
971 * Fix a problem if e2fsck where if the root file system is mounted
972 read-only, e2fsck would not clear an error indication in the journal
973 superblock. Combined with a kernel bug, this would cause the e2fsck
974 to check the file system after every single boot
975 * Fixed filefrag so it would not seg fault on virtual filesystems such
976 as /proc: e.g., "filefrag /proc/partitions"
977 * Fix filefrag so that it correctly reports the number of extents
978 * Fixed a bug which caused "mke2fs -N 256 -t ext4 /tmp/foo.img 256m"
979 to write blocks out until /tmp filled
980 * Fixed a bug in how e2fsck would uniquify directory entry names
981 * Change e2fsck so it will allow file systems mounted read-only to be
982 checked with the -f option.
983 * Fix e2fsck so that the file system is marked as containing an
984 error if the user chooses not to fix the quota usage information.
985 * Fix tune2fs so that it correctly removes the quota feature when
986 the last quota inode is removed.
987 * Fix tune2fs so that after removing a quota inode, the block bitmap
988 is updated; otherwise, e2fsck would complain after running 'tune2fs
990 * Fix tune2fs so that when converting a file system from using legacy
991 quota files to the new quota file system feature with hidden quota
992 files, the accounting for these files is handled correctly so that
993 e2fsck doesn't complain.
994 * The e4defrag program now allows device symlinks, such as
995 /dev/mapper/testvg-testlv, instead of insisting on less
996 human-friendly names such as /dev/dm-2

1073 * Teach mke2fs to use direct I/O if the -D option is given
1074 * Print errors returned by ext2fs_open2() and ext2fs_check_desc() so
1075 we can more easily diagnose memory allocation failures caused by
1076 insufficient memory and abort on memory allocation failures

1078 problems that were found and fixed directly.
1079 * E2fsck can now limit the number of messages issued and printed on
1081 * The dumpe2fs, debugfs, and tune2fs now use rbtree bitmaps, which
1082 cause them to use much less memory for large file systems.
1083 * E2fsck will now check for zero-length extents, since older kernels will
1084 OOPS if they comes across one
1085 * Fix e2fsck's discard behaviour so it does not discard too many
1086 blocks, and it will not use discard if the device advertises

1378 * Removed obsolete initrd script (Closes: #585041)
1379 * Fixed bad dependency on libblkid1 due to shlibs.local (Closes: #583551)
1380 * E2fsck now opens the external journal in exclusive mode to prevent
1381 clearing the journal of a mounted, snapshotted volume if the user
1382 accidentally tries to run e2fsck on the snapshot volume (Closes: #587531)
1383 * Fix a big in e2fsck so it correct test for whether the EOFBLOCKS_FL
1384 flag should be set or not.
1385 * Tune2fs can now set uninit_bg without requiring an fsck afterwards
1386 * Add support for the new ext4 default mount options added in 2.6.35
1387 * Add support for the ext4 error tracking superblock fields added in 2.6.36
1388 * Debugfs now uses a more concise format for listing extents in its

1391 * Mke2fs will skip initializing the inode table if a device supports
1392 discard and the discard operation results in zero'ed blocks

1424 * The resize2fs program will refuse to print the minimum size needed
1425 for a file system if it is not clean.
1426 * E2fsck now tests for extents that begin at physical block 0 and
1427 rejects them as invalid.
1428 * Fixed a bug in e2fsck which could cause it to crash when trying to
1429 remove an invalid extent and the block bitmaps hadn't yet been loaded.
1430 * E2fsck will now completely skip time-based checks if the system
1431 clock looks insane or if the broken_system_clock option is set
1432 in /etc/e2fsck.conf. (Closes: #549861, #540152)
1433 * Fixed a bug in e2fsck which caused e2fsck to complain about i_blocks
1434 with a 4T file created using posix_fallocate()
1435 * E2fsck will now correctly mark a sparse journal as invalid and will
1436 delete and recreate the journal to address the problem.
1437 * Fixed e2fsck not to ask permission from the user to abort if it's
1438 going to abort regardless of what the user is going to say...
1439 * E2fsck can now continue even if it fails to recreate the resize inode
1440 * E2fsck will now avoid removing directory entries for inodes found in
1441 the unused region of the inode table until after it restarts the fs
1442 check to avoid removing valid data.
1443 * E2fsck will now longer try to set the block group checksums if it

1446 device to better support 4k sector drives.
1447 * Mke2fs will accept the valid (but rarely useful) flex_bg size of 1
1448 * E2fsck will check for cases where the EOFBLOCKS_FL is set when it is
1449 not needed, and offer to clear it.

1451 stderr is connected to a tty in raw mode.
1452 * Update Czech, Chinese, Dutch, French, Germany, Indonesian, Polish,
1453 and Vietnamese translations (from the Translation Project)

1464 * Debugfs's "logdump -b <blk>" now properly shows the allocation status
1465 of the block <blk>. (Closes: #564084)
1466 * Make e2fsck's "the filesystem is mounted" message is now more scary
1467 to hopefully dissuade users from thinking, "surely that message
1468 doesn't apply to *me*" :-(
1469 * e2fsck -n will now always open the file system read-only. We now
1470 disallow certain combination of options which previously were manual
1471 exceptions; this is bad because it causes users to think they are
1472 smarter than they really are. So "-n -c", "-n -l", "-n -L", and
1473 "-n -D" are no longer supported.
1474 * If the partition is badly aligned, have mke2fs just print a warning
1475 message and continue. Previously mke2fs would ask to confirm, and
1476 this broke distro installation scripts.
1477 * Fix a bug in libext2fs caused the creation of very large journals
1478 for ext4 to be _very_ slow.
1479 * E2fsck now understands the EOFBLOCKS_FL flag which will be used in
1480 2.6.34 kernels to make e2fsck not complain about blocks deliberately
1481 fallocated() beyond an inode's i_size.

1483 non-indexed directories. (Closes: #572453)

1508 * Teach e2fsck to detect and fix sparse extent-mapped directories
1509 * Fix filefrag from core dumping on file systems with 8k block sizes
1510 * E2fsck was depending on i_size to be correct to detect and fix
1511 certain directory problems before actually fixing the
1512 directory's i_size. This caused certain rare corruptions to
1513 require two runs of e2fsck to address.
1514 * Update Czech, Indonesian, Polish and Vietnamese translations
1515 (from the Translation Project)
1516 * Fix e2fsck to find and correct duplicate directory entries in
1517 non-indexed directories.
1518 * Add support for calling BLKDISCARD to mke2fs.
1519 * Enhance libext2fs so it works around bug in Linux version 2.6.19
1520 and earlier where the /proc/swaps file was missing the header on
1522 * Fix resize2fs so it works correctly on file systems with external journals
1523 * Fix libss so that it does not seg fault when using a readline
1524 library which does not supply a readline_shutdown() function.
1525 * Add a pre-depends for util-linux-ng (Closes: #551795)
1526 * Update and clarify various man pages.
1527 * Corrected dumpe2fs's usage message
1528 * Teach libext2fs to ignore the high 32 bits of the i_blocks field
1529 when huge_file file system feature is set, but the inode does not
1530 have the HUGE_FILE_FL flag set.
1531 * Change e2fsck to accept superblock times to be fudged by up to 24
1532 hours by default. Most distributions have fixed their init scripts,
1533 but apparently now they have buggy virtualization scripts. :-( I
1534 give up, too many buggy user space set ups out there. (Closes: #557636)
1535 * Fix e2fsck to correctly print > 32-bit i_blocks numbers in problem reports
1536 * Improve e2fsck so it prints "Illegal indirect block" instead of

1539 it to populate the superblock stride and stripe sizes and warn if
1540 the block device is misaligned

1564 * Require the user to only answer one question instead of multiple
1565 ones for multiple bad block group checksums, or when an inode
1566 table needs to be moved.
1567 * Fix e2fsck to handle moving inode tables in FLEX_BG filesystems more
1568 gracefully by looking in the entire flex_bg for space, instead of
1569 just in the block group; if that doesn't work, try looking for
1570 space in the entire filesystem.
1571 * Fix the filefrag code to avoid printing the extent header if it
1572 needs to fallback to using the FIBMAP ioctl.
1573 * Fix filefrag to print the correct number of extents for zero-length
1574 files when using FIBMAP. (Closes: #540376)
1575 * Add a filefrag -B option to make it easier to debug the FIBMAP
1577 * Allow e2fsprogs programs to allocate from uninitialized block groups.
1578 * Add a new program, e2freefrag, which displays information about the
1579 free space fragmentation in an ext2/3/4 filesystem.
1580 * E2fsck will now print much fuller information when the last mount
1581 time or last written time is in the future, since most people can't
1582 seem to believe their distribution has buggy init scripts, or they
1583 have a failed CMOS/RTS clock battery.

1634 uninitialized data into the portion of the inode beyond the first 128
1635 bytes when operating on extents; potentially corrupting filesystems.

1792 * Fix resize2fs for ext4 filesystems. Some blocks that that need moving

1802 * The blkid library will now recognize btrfs filesystems and swap
1803 devices currently used by user-level software suspend.
1804 * tune2fs will not allow changing the inode size for filesystems that
1805 have the flex_bg feature enabled, since the code currently assumes
1806 the each block group's portion inode table is located in its own
1808 * Fix tune2fs -I so it won't corrupt ext3/ext4 filesystem configured
1809 for RAID storage devices.

1811 specified for the new filesystem.
1812 * Mke2fs will now treat devices with exactly 16TB as if they have 16TB
1813 minus one block, since many users expect ext4 to support 16TB
1814 devices, and the true maximum size is 16TB-1.

2232 * Make sure that programs like tune2fs, when modifying a mounted
2233 filesystem do not write the backup superblocks with the
2234 NEEDS_RECOVERY flag, to avoid e2fsck from needlessly forcing a
2235 full fsck because it thinks the feature flags need to be backed up
2236 from the master to the backup superblocks. (Closes: #454926)
2237 * Improve time-based UUID generation to guarantee uniqueness even when
2238 UUID's are being generated at very high rates on SMP systems. To
2239 do this we use an optional setuid helper daemon (uuidd) which is
2240 started by libuuid when it is needed. The uuidd daemon is
2241 packaged in the (new) uuid-runtime package, which now also includes
2242 the uuidgen program (which had been previously been included as
2243 part of the e2fsprogs package).
2244 * Fix fsck to only treat '#' characters at the beginning of /etc/fstab
2245 lines as starting a comment. This avoids spurious warnings printed
2246 for filesystems such as fuse that often use '#' as part of the
2247 filesystem specifier (i.e., wdfs#https://dav.hoster.com/foo).

2249 characters to avoid garbage filesystem labels from screwing up the

2259 invalid FAT filesystem.

2261 error code is passed to it.

2263 TLS and hence will run correctly on back-level Debian systems
2264 using a 2.4 Linux kernel. (Closes: #458017)

3067 * Fix byte swap bugs in e2fsck that caused the journal backup location
3068 in the superblock and symlinks created by SE Linux to be cleared
3069 by e2fsck on big-endian machines. (Closes: #228723)
3070 * Chattr now stops processing options when it sees '--'. (Closes: #225188)
3071 * Add FreeBSD port fixups
3072 * Use the DEBUGFS_PAGER environment variable in preference to PAGER.
3073 Document that less is a really, really, really bad pager to use
3074 for debugfs (unfortunately, Debian policy says we must use
3075 /usr/bin/pager even if it results in very annoying behaviour for
3076 the user since 'less' is used in preference to 'more' unless it is
3077 globally overridden via update-alternatives(8). Oh, well. Debian
3078 users are encouraged to set DEBUGFS_PAGER to be "more" in their
3079 dot files to avoid this brain damage).

3095 with /usr/bin/pager, and then falling back to 'less' and 'more'.
3097 * Fixed mangled encoding in Czech locale file. (Closes: #214633)
3098 * Fix bug where using debugfs to copy a file from /dev/null caused
3099 in correct mode bits. (Closes: #217456)

3101 replayed when using an alternate superblock.

3554 #120171, #120077, #129828, #132764).
3555 ** Fixes for data-corruption bugs not reported to the BTS: e2fsck
3556 trashed external journals needing to be replayed, e2fsck now hides
3557 visible journal files (data corruption problems when not excluded from
3558 a backup and then restored) (Closes: #132654).

3562 broken in several programs.

3570 more properly handled by debhelper. Removed an "exit 0" lurking in
3571 preinst - can't find a reason for it in the changelog, it was probably

3598 great help to debug users' problems. Urgency set to "high" to make
