482 e2fsprogs (1.42.12-1) unstable; urgency=low
484 * New upstream version
485 * Fix various e2fsck bugs when trying to repair bigalloc file systems.
486 * E2fsck can now repair a file system with an overly large
487 s_first_meta_bg field, which had previously caused all e2fsprogs
488 programs to crash when trying to open such a file system.
489 * Fix e2fsck so that it can correctly fix a number of rare file system
490 corruptions that were discovered when using a file system fuzzer.
491 * Fix e2fsck so it does not try to write back block group descriptors
492 if they have not been modified.
493 * The mke2fs program will now place metadata blocks in the last
494 flex_bg so they are contiguous. This reduces free space
495 fragmentation in a freshly created file system, as well as allowing
496 mke2fs commands which request extremely large flex_bg size to succeed.
497 * Mke2fs now creates hugefiles more efficiently (with fewer extent
499 * Fix a 32/64-bit overflow bug that could cause resize2fs to loop
501 * Reduce the memory consumption of resize2fs for very large file
503 * Fix a bug that could cause resize2fs to create a corrupted file
504 system when shrinking a very large file system (typically > 16TB)
505 that had been previously grown using resize2fs. (Closes: #756922)
506 * Fix tune2fs updating UUID's when manipulating file systems with
507 external journals (both the file system and journal UUID).
508 * Fix tune2fs so it can remove an external journal for file systems
509 with a 1k block size.
510 * Add a new debugfs command, "inode_dump", which prints the inode in
511 hex and ASCII format.
512 * The debugfs command "set_inode_field" will now automatically
513 allocate blocks for indirect blocks and extent tree blocks.
514 * Fix debugfs's "set_inode_field" so can properly handle
515 "block[IND|DIND|TIND]".
516 * The debugfs "rdump" command will now take multiple source arguments.
517 * Fix debugfs's argument parsing for the freefrag command.
518 * Fixed a double close(2) bug in "rdump" and "rdump -p".
519 * Fix filefrag to properly handle using the FIBMAP ioctl (with -B).
520 * e4defrag will now defrag backwards-allocated files
521 * Clarified messages that were confusing users in debugfs, e2fsck,
522 mke2fs, and resize2fs (Closes: #758029, #757543, #757544)

547 controlled via a mke2fs.conf configuration parameter.
548 * Fix a bug which caused e2fsck to abort a journal replay on a file
549 system with bigalloc enabled. (Closes: #744953)
550 * Fix mke2fs so it more correctly handles large flex_bg counts
551 * Mke2fs will check the kernel version number and not just the sysfs
552 feature flag to determine whether it is safe to enable lazy
553 inode table initialization, so it won't get faked out if the ext4 is
554 compiled as a module which hasn't happened to be loaded yet.
555 * E2fsck will now automatically fix a last mount time or last write time
556 which is in the future in preen mode.
557 * Mke2fs will now check the file system revision number requested by the
558 command line, and reject it if it is too large.
559 * If filefrag runs into an error, it will continue processing the rest
560 of the files specified on the command line, but then exit with an

594 * The mke2fs program will now ask for confirmation before wiping out a
595 pre-existing file system, partition label, or physical volume
596 * Fix e2fsck so that it properly handles an inconsistent quota inode.
597 Previously the quota inode could be completely corrupted, and
598 missing quota records could be not noticed
599 * Fix mke2fs so if packed metadata blocks are enabled that the block
600 group checksum are set correctly
601 * Debugfs has new commands to allow the quota inode to be queried directly
602 * Tune2fs will allow removal of dirty journal with two "-f" options
604 * Fixed some off-line resize2fs bugs when relocating metadata blocks
605 when growing or shrinking bigalloc file systems
606 * Fixed resize2fs's calculation of the minimum required file system
607 size. This allows resize2fs -M to shrink the file system more
609 * Fixed resize2fs to properly handle shrinking a very large and empty
610 file system to a very very small size
611 * Fixed e4defrag to work with 64-bit and bigalloc file systems
612 * Fixed e2fsck to not issue a large number of very scary (but
613 harmless) corruption messages when checking very large file systems
614 when the file system has more inodes than the number of seconds
615 since January 1, 1970.
616 * E2fsck will now check the whole file system if file system problems
617 are detected during its initial "pass 0" sanity check
618 * Filefrag now prints the "shared extent" flag which is used by some
619 file systems such as btrfs
620 * The mke2fs program would previously correctly omit the resize_inode
621 feature when creating a file system > 16TB when the fs size was
622 determined automatically. It will now also do the right thing when
623 the user explicitly specifies the file system size.

767 * Fixed e2fsck if its logging function is enabled in e2fsck.conf, and
768 the resulting file name for the log file is longer than 100 bytes,
769 that it properly handles this situation instead of crashing.

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

777 systems with the flex_bg feature and without any reserved gdt
778 blocks or if the file system did not have the resize_inode feature
779 * Further optimize resize2fs so it doesn't use quite as much CPU when

954 * Teach mke2fs to use direct I/O if the -D option is given
955 * Print errors returned by ext2fs_open2() and ext2fs_check_desc() so

959 problems that were found and fixed directly.
960 * E2fsck can now limit the number of messages issued and printed on
962 * The dumpe2fs, debugfs, and tune2fs now use rbtree bitmaps, which
963 cause them to use much less memory for large file systems.
964 * E2fsck will now check for zero-length extents, since older kernels will
965 OOPS if they comes across one
966 * Fix e2fsck's discard behaviour so it does not discard too many
967 blocks, and it will not use discard if the device advertises
968 that discard does not persistently zero data. Also, if e2fsck is
969 run in read-only mode, do not try to discard data.

1353 smarter than they really are. So "-n -c", "-n -l", "-n -L", and
1354 "-n -D" are no longer supported.
1355 * If the partition is badly aligned, have mke2fs just print a warning
1356 message and continue. Previously mke2fs would ask to confirm, and
1357 this broke distro installation scripts.
1358 * Fix a bug in libext2fs caused the creation of very large journals
1359 for ext4 to be _very_ slow.
1360 * E2fsck now understands the EOFBLOCKS_FL flag which will be used in
1361 2.6.34 kernels to make e2fsck not complain about blocks deliberately
1362 fallocated() beyond an inode's i_size.

1364 non-indexed directories. (Closes: #572453)

1389 * Teach e2fsck to detect and fix sparse extent-mapped directories
1390 * Fix filefrag from core dumping on file systems with 8k block sizes
1391 * E2fsck was depending on i_size to be correct to detect and fix
1392 certain directory problems before actually fixing the
1393 directory's i_size. This caused certain rare corruptions to
1394 require two runs of e2fsck to address.

1398 non-indexed directories.

1408 * Corrected dumpe2fs's usage message
1409 * Teach libext2fs to ignore the high 32 bits of the i_blocks field
1410 when huge_file file system feature is set, but the inode does not
1411 have the HUGE_FILE_FL flag set.
1412 * Change e2fsck to accept superblock times to be fudged by up to 24
1413 hours by default. Most distributions have fixed their init scripts,
1414 but apparently now they have buggy virtualization scripts. :-( I
1415 give up, too many buggy user space set ups out there. (Closes: #557636)
1416 * Fix e2fsck to correctly print > 32-bit i_blocks numbers in problem reports
1417 * Improve e2fsck so it prints "Illegal indirect block" instead of

1420 it to populate the superblock stride and stripe sizes and warn if
1421 the block device is misaligned

1427 flex_bg is enabled, to prevent resize2fs -M from failing.
1428 * Dumpe2fs now displays more information about the contents of the journal
1429 * Make sure the libblkid1 and libblkid1-dbg packages have changelogs
1430 * On low memory systems, e2fsck can print some very scary looking
1431 error messages. Clean up them up to avoid user panic. (Closes: #509529)
1432 * Enhance blkid to support .ko.gz files in the modules.dep parser

1444 filesystems formatted for RAID arrays, and ENOSPC errors
1445 * Require the user to only answer one question instead of multiple
1446 ones for multiple bad block group checksums, or when an inode
1447 table needs to be moved.
1448 * Fix e2fsck to handle moving inode tables in FLEX_BG filesystems more
1449 gracefully by looking in the entire flex_bg for space, instead of
1450 just in the block group; if that doesn't work, try looking for
1451 space in the entire filesystem.
1452 * Fix the filefrag code to avoid printing the extent header if it
1453 needs to fallback to using the FIBMAP ioctl.
1454 * Fix filefrag to print the correct number of extents for zero-length
1455 files when using FIBMAP. (Closes: #540376)
1456 * Add a filefrag -B option to make it easier to debug the FIBMAP
1458 * Allow e2fsprogs programs to allocate from uninitialized block groups.
1459 * Add a new program, e2freefrag, which displays information about the
1460 free space fragmentation in an ext2/3/4 filesystem.
1461 * E2fsck will now print much fuller information when the last mount
1462 time or last written time is in the future, since most people can't
1463 seem to believe their distribution has buggy init scripts, or they
1464 have a failed CMOS/RTS clock battery.
1465 * Update French, Polish, Czech, and Swedish translation from the
1466 Translation Project.
1467 * Enhance debugfs's 'stat' command to print basic extent information
1468 for extent-mapped inodes, and add a new command, 'dump_extents'
1469 which prints detailed information about an inode's extent tree.

1514 * Fix a bug in libext2fs which can cause e2fsck and resize2fs to write
1515 uninitialized data into the portion of the inode beyond the first 128
1516 bytes when operating on extents; potentially corrupting filesystems.

1524 journal and resize inodes.

1526 superblock if the journal is moved; this avoids an unnecessary full
1527 fsck after resizing the filesystem.

1663 node in the extent tree, and would crash in that case. It now will

1669 replying journals for filesystems with block sizes greater than 8k.

1671 filesystems with 32-bit block numbers. This was accidentally broken
1672 when the header files were changed to support the 64-bit block numbers.
1673 * Fix resize2fs for ext4 filesystems. Some blocks that that need moving
1674 when shrinking filesystems with uninit_bg feature would not be
1675 moved. In addition, blocks and inode table blocks were not being
1676 correctly freed when shrinking filesystems with the flex_bg feable,

2080 ext_attr feature flag by default. This allows for much better
2081 future compatibility with ext4 and speeds up extended attributes
2082 even on ext3 filesystems.
2083 * Teach mke2fs and tune2fs to set a "test_fs" flag, which indicates

2116 full fsck because it thinks the feature flags need to be backed up
2117 from the master to the backup superblocks. (Closes: #454926)

2119 UUID's are being generated at very high rates on SMP systems. To
2120 do this we use an optional setuid helper daemon (uuidd) which is
2121 started by libuuid when it is needed. The uuidd daemon is
2122 packaged in the (new) uuid-runtime package, which now also includes
2123 the uuidgen program (which had been previously been included as
2124 part of the e2fsprogs package).
2125 * Fix fsck to only treat '#' characters at the beginning of /etc/fstab
2126 lines as starting a comment. This avoids spurious warnings printed
2127 for filesystems such as fuse that often use '#' as part of the
2128 filesystem specifier (i.e., wdfs#https://dav.hoster.com/foo).
