1163 if they have not been modified.
1164 * The mke2fs program will now place metadata blocks in the last
1165 flex_bg so they are contiguous. This reduces free space
1166 fragmentation in a freshly created file system, as well as allowing
1167 mke2fs commands which request extremely large flex_bg size to succeed.

1220 system with bigalloc enabled. (Closes: #744953)
1221 * Fix mke2fs so it more correctly handles large flex_bg counts

1224 inode table initialization, so it won't get faked out if the ext4 is
1225 compiled as a module which hasn't happened to be loaded yet.

1393 * Fix off-line resizing of file systems with flex_bg && !resize_inode
1395 * Change mke2fs so that it does not set the root directory to the real
1396 uid/gid of the mke2fs process. Add the extended option root_owner to
1397 override this behavior.
1398 * If an invalid journal size is given to mke2fs, it will now complain
1400 * Fix resize2fs when shrinking file systems to make sure that bitmap
1401 blocks aren't left outside the bounds of the shrunken file system.
1402 This could happen with flex_bg file systems that were grown using
1403 the old online resizing algorithm.

1405 invalid extents at the end of the extent tree leaf block.
1406 * E2fsck will now longer complain about zero length extended attribute values.
1407 * Fix a regression introduced in e2fsprogs v1.42 which caused e2image -s

1415 * Debugfs was erroneously giving spurious error messages for certain
1416 extent_inode subcommands which take arguments (split_node,
1417 replace_node, and insert_node). This has been fixed.

1429 * Add warning indicating that the quota and bigalloc features are
1430 still under development.
1431 * Added new options to filefrag to be consistent with the version from
1433 * Optimized e2fsck's CPU utilization
1434 * Fixed e2fsck so it detects and fixes inconsistencies in the interior
1435 nodes of an inode's extent tree
1436 * Fixed a potential memory corruption failure in e2fsck's error path if
1437 the call to ext2fs_open2() fails.
1438 * Fixed e2fsck if its logging function is enabled in e2fsck.conf, and
1439 the resulting file name for the log file is longer than 100 bytes,
1440 that it properly handles this situation instead of crashing.
1441 * E2fsck will now report the amount of memory that it attempted to
1442 allocate when a memory allocation request fails, to make it easier to
1443 track down the problem.
1444 * Fixed a bug in resize2fs which could cause severe file system
1445 corruption when growing an ext4 file system which was formatted with
1446 fewer-than-normal reserved gdt blocks
1447 * Fixed resize2fs to be able to handle off-line resizes of file
1448 systems with the flex_bg feature and without any reserved gdt
1449 blocks or if the file system did not have the resize_inode feature
1450 * Further optimize resize2fs so it doesn't use quite as much CPU when
1451 resizing very large file systems.
1452 * Fixed 32-bit overflow bugs which could cause resize2fs to fail and
1453 possibly corrupt the file system while resizing 64-bit file systems.
1454 * Fixed a big which could cause resize2fs to corrupt bigalloc file systems.
1455 * Fix a crash while mke2fs is parsing "-E resize=NNN" with the 64bit
1456 file system feature enabled
1457 * Added better error checking to mke2fs to check for invalid
1458 parameters when creating bigalloc file system.
1459 * When creating bigalloc filesystems, the -g option to mke2fs will now
1460 specify the number of clusters per block group.
1461 * Added the "symlink", "zap_block", "block_dump", and "extent_open"
1463 * Fixed debugfs's htree command so that all its messages are sent
1465 * Fixed debugfs's dump_file and cat functions so they work correctly
1466 on file systems with a block size greater than 8k.
1467 * Fixed mke2fs's handling of the mmp_update_interval option
1468 * Fixed e2freefrag so it works on 64-bit file systems, and so it uses
1470 * E2image can now include all data blocks in the e2image output
1471 file when the user specifies the -a option.
1472 * Fixed debugfs's mknod command so that it updates the block group
1474 * Document the bigalloc feature in the mke2fs man page.

1496 of uninit_bg file systems.
1497 * Resize2fs now supports on-line resizing 64-bit file systems beyond
1498 16TB. A number of bugs in resize2fs which prevented this have been

1520 the native e2fsprogs will satisfy the dependency. (Closes: #678395)
1521 * Fix a fd leak which could cause logsave (and hence a boot-time rc
1522 init script) to hang (Closes: #682592)
1523 * Fix a problem if e2fsck where if the root file system is mounted
1524 read-only, e2fsck would not clear an error indication in the journal
1525 superblock. Combined with a kernel bug, this would cause the e2fsck

1536 error if the user chooses not to fix the quota usage information.
1537 * Fix tune2fs so that it correctly removes the quota feature when
1538 the last quota inode is removed.
1539 * Fix tune2fs so that after removing a quota inode, the block bitmap
1540 is updated; otherwise, e2fsck would complain after running 'tune2fs
1542 * Fix tune2fs so that when converting a file system from using legacy
1543 quota files to the new quota file system feature with hidden quota
1544 files, the accounting for these files is handled correctly so that
1545 e2fsck doesn't complain.

1849 in pass1b handling if the file system does not support extended
1851 * E2fsck will be more careful accidentally asking the user to continue
1852 if the file system is mounted, so that an escape sequence won't

1854 * E2fsck now uses less cpu time in pass 5
1855 * E2fsck will no longer segfault when a corrupted file system has a bad
1856 extent, and removing it leads to a block needing to be deallocated.
1857 * E2fsck now supports an extended "discard" option which will cause
1858 e2fsck to attempt discard all unused blocks after a full check
1859 * The e2image program now supports the qcow2 format, a more efficient
1860 way of capturing file system metadata snapshots.
1861 * Mke2fs now supports the [devices] stanza in mke2fs.conf.
1862 * Mke2fs now supports the reserved_ratio relation in mke2fs.conf.
1863 * Mke2fs now creates extent-mapped directories for the root and
1864 lost+found directories.
1865 * Mke2fs will skip zero'ing the journal if the extended option
1866 "lazy_journal_init" is specified.
1867 * Mke2fs will now create file systems that enable user namespace
1868 extended attributes and with time- and mount count-based file
1869 system checks disabled.

1874 previously caused the inodes per group to drop below 8, leading
1876 * Debugfs's icheck will now correctly find inodes which use the
1877 searched-for block as an extended attribute block.
1878 * Debugfs now has a new "punch" command which remove blocks from the
1880 * The badblocks program now correctly recovers from I/O errors when
1881 direct I/O is being used. The badblocks command now also
1882 supports a -B option which forces the use of buffered I/O, and
1883 the -v option will provide a more detailed breakdown of read,
1884 write, and failed comparison errors.
1885 * Added e4defrag tool which uses the EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT ioctl.
1886 * Added support for journals larger than 2GB.
1887 * Support using both hard links and symlinks when installing e2fsprogs.
1888 * Add overflow checking to tune2fs -i's fsck interval, which must fit

1903 * resize2fs now works correctly on devices exactly 16TB
1904 * resize2fs will no longer clear the resize_inode feature when the

1933 clearing the journal of a mounted, snapshotted volume if the user
1934 accidentally tries to run e2fsck on the snapshot volume (Closes: #587531)
1935 * Fix a big in e2fsck so it correct test for whether the EOFBLOCKS_FL

1992 * E2fsck will now avoid removing directory entries for inodes found in
1993 the unused region of the inode table until after it restarts the fs
1994 check to avoid removing valid data.
1995 * E2fsck will now longer try to set the block group checksums if it

2019 to hopefully dissuade users from thinking, "surely that message
2020 doesn't apply to *me*" :-(
2021 * e2fsck -n will now always open the file system read-only. We now
2022 disallow certain combination of options which previously were manual
2023 exceptions; this is bad because it causes users to think they are
2024 smarter than they really are. So "-n -c", "-n -l", "-n -L", and
2025 "-n -D" are no longer supported.
2026 * If the partition is badly aligned, have mke2fs just print a warning
2027 message and continue. Previously mke2fs would ask to confirm, and

2030 for ext4 to be _very_ slow.
2031 * E2fsck now understands the EOFBLOCKS_FL flag which will be used in

2060 * Teach e2fsck to detect and fix sparse extent-mapped directories
2061 * Fix filefrag from core dumping on file systems with 8k block sizes
2062 * E2fsck was depending on i_size to be correct to detect and fix
2063 certain directory problems before actually fixing the
2064 directory's i_size. This caused certain rare corruptions to
2065 require two runs of e2fsck to address.

2067 (from the Translation Project)
2068 * Fix e2fsck to find and correct duplicate directory entries in
2069 non-indexed directories.

2081 when huge_file file system feature is set, but the inode does not
2082 have the HUGE_FILE_FL flag set.
2083 * Change e2fsck to accept superblock times to be fudged by up to 24
2084 hours by default. Most distributions have fixed their init scripts,
2085 but apparently now they have buggy virtualization scripts. :-( I
2086 give up, too many buggy user space set ups out there. (Closes: #557636)
2087 * Fix e2fsck to correctly print > 32-bit i_blocks numbers in problem reports

2118 table needs to be moved.
2119 * Fix e2fsck to handle moving inode tables in FLEX_BG filesystems more
2120 gracefully by looking in the entire flex_bg for space, instead of
2121 just in the block group; if that doesn't work, try looking for
2122 space in the entire filesystem.
2123 * Fix the filefrag code to avoid printing the extent header if it
2124 needs to fallback to using the FIBMAP ioctl.
2125 * Fix filefrag to print the correct number of extents for zero-length
2126 files when using FIBMAP. (Closes: #540376)
2127 * Add a filefrag -B option to make it easier to debug the FIBMAP

2130 * Add a new program, e2freefrag, which displays information about the
2131 free space fragmentation in an ext2/3/4 filesystem.
2132 * E2fsck will now print much fuller information when the last mount
2133 time or last written time is in the future, since most people can't
2134 seem to believe their distribution has buggy init scripts, or they
2135 have a failed CMOS/RTS clock battery.

2324 doesn't cause e2fsck to abort.
2325 * E2fsck now distinguishes between fragmented directories and
2326 fragmented files in verbose mode statistics and in the fragcheck
2328 * Avoid double-counting non-contiguous extent-based inodes in the
2329 verbose mode statistics.
2330 * E2fsck now leaves slack space when repacking directories so that a
2331 few new directory entries won't cause leaf nodes to become split
2333 * E2fsck was previously not handling the case of a corrupted interior
2334 node in the extent tree, and would crash in that case. It now will
2335 handle this and related failures robustly.

2337 referred to as "ext3" problems, since ext4 filesystems also have

2340 replying journals for filesystems with block sizes greater than 8k.
2341 * Fix a regression in debugfs's logdump command so it works for
2342 filesystems with 32-bit block numbers. This was accidentally broken
2343 when the header files were changed to support the 64-bit block numbers.
2344 * Fix resize2fs for ext4 filesystems. Some blocks that that need moving
2345 when shrinking filesystems with uninit_bg feature would not be
2346 moved. In addition, blocks and inode table blocks were not being
2347 correctly freed when shrinking filesystems with the flex_bg feable,
2348 which caused resize2fs -M to fail. Finally, when blocks are moved,
2349 make sure the uninitialized flag in extents is preserved.

2354 * The blkid library will now recognize btrfs filesystems and swap
2355 devices currently used by user-level software suspend.
2356 * tune2fs will not allow changing the inode size for filesystems that
2357 have the flex_bg feature enabled, since the code currently assumes
2358 the each block group's portion inode table is located in its own
2360 * Fix tune2fs -I so it won't corrupt ext3/ext4 filesystem configured
2361 for RAID storage devices.
2362 * Mke2fs now understands a -U option which allows the UUID to be
2363 specified for the new filesystem.
2364 * Mke2fs will now treat devices with exactly 16TB as if they have 16TB
2365 minus one block, since many users expect ext4 to support 16TB
2366 devices, and the true maximum size is 16TB-1.

2368 field in their superblock.

2387 hardlinks in the same directories.

2448 * Add support for on-line resizing of ext4 filesystems with the
2449 flex_bg filesystem feature.

2747 e2fsprogs (1.40.5-1) unstable; urgency=low
2749 * New upstream release.
2750 * Mke2fs will now create new filesystems with 256 byte inodes and the
2751 ext_attr feature flag by default. This allows for much better
2752 future compatibility with ext4 and speeds up extended attributes
2753 even on ext3 filesystems.
2754 * Teach mke2fs and tune2fs to set a "test_fs" flag, which indicates
2755 that it is ok to use the filesystem on in-development kernel
2756 code (i.e., ext4dev)
2757 * E2fsck now optimizes non-htree directories by sorting them by inode
2759 * Add support for detecting HFS+ and ext4/ext4dev filesystems in blkid
2760 * Fix blkid's ntfs UUID handling so it is compatible with vol_id
2761 * Avoid a floating point exception when blkid tries to probe a corrupt
2762 reiserfs filesystem.
2763 * Fix potential overflow problem in e2image if the device name is
2765 * Cause e2image to exit immediately with an error message on a disk
2767 * Fix a minor typos in the resize2fs and uuidd manpages.
2768 * E2fsck will no longer backup superblocks when the kernel makes
2769 certain "safe" feature set changes behind the user's back.
2770 * Fix debugfs's lsdel command so it works on large files
2771 * Allow a user to undelete an inode with linking to a destination
2773 * Update Swedish translation file from the Translation Project

2777 doesn't provide llseek on the x86_64. (Closes: #459614)

2782 e2fsprogs (1.40.4-1) unstable; urgency=low
2784 * Make sure that programs like tune2fs, when modifying a mounted
2785 filesystem do not write the backup superblocks with the
2786 NEEDS_RECOVERY flag, to avoid e2fsck from needlessly forcing a
2787 full fsck because it thinks the feature flags need to be backed up
2788 from the master to the backup superblocks. (Closes: #454926)
2789 * Improve time-based UUID generation to guarantee uniqueness even when
2790 UUID's are being generated at very high rates on SMP systems. To
2791 do this we use an optional setuid helper daemon (uuidd) which is
2792 started by libuuid when it is needed. The uuidd daemon is
2793 packaged in the (new) uuid-runtime package, which now also includes
2794 the uuidgen program (which had been previously been included as
2795 part of the e2fsprogs package).
2796 * Fix fsck to only treat '#' characters at the beginning of /etc/fstab
2797 lines as starting a comment. This avoids spurious warnings printed
2798 for filesystems such as fuse that often use '#' as part of the
2799 filesystem specifier (i.e., wdfs#https://dav.hoster.com/foo).
2800 * Enhance the blkid program to pretty-print control and meta
2801 characters to avoid garbage filesystem labels from screwing up the
2803 * Fix potential integer overflows passed to malloc() in resize2fs
2804 * Update Dutch, Polish, and Vietnamese translations from the
2805 Translation Project. Remove the Rwandan translation upon advice
2806 of the Translation Project.
2807 * Fix cross-compilation support for non-Linux architectures

2811 invalid FAT filesystem.
2812 * Make error_message() in libcom_err DTRT when when a 64-bit sign-extended
2813 error code is passed to it.
2814 * Build the e2fsck-static package so that e2fsck.static will not use
2815 TLS and hence will run correctly on back-level Debian systems

4113 largefile support (ie. dealing with filesystems inside 2GB+ files) was
4114 broken in several programs.
4115 * Switch to debhelper v3 to get ldconfig automatically handled
