19 * New upstream release
20 * Add support for the new fast_commit feature. (Requires Linux version
22 * Add support for the new stable_inodes feature which is needed to
23 support some the fscrypt siphash algorithm.
24 * Add support for file systems that have both case folding and

26 * The fuse2fs program now supports the "norecovery" which omits replying
27 the journal and mounts the file system read-only.
28 * Bitmap loading is now done using multiple threads which can speed up
29 debugfs, dumpe2fs, and e2fsck on very large file systems.
30 * E2fsck now will check file names on file systems with case folding
31 enabled to make sure the characters are valid UTF-8 characters.
32 This is done for file systems which enforce strict encodings, and
33 optionally if the extended "check_encoding" option is requested.
34 * E2fsck will properly handle checking for duplicated file names when
35 case folding is enabled.
36 * E2fsck will now find and fix file system corruptions when the encrypted
37 files have a different policy from their containing directory.

39 hash tree index blocks.
40 * Fix various bugs where a maliciously corrupted file systems could case
41 e2fsck and other e2fsprogs programs to crash.
42 * Dumpe2fs will print the error code that Linux kernels newer than v5.6
43 will save to indicate the class of error which triggered the ext4_error
45 * E2fsprogs programs (in particular, fuse2fs) can now update htree
46 directories without clearing the htree index.
47 * Tune2fs will properly recalculate directory block checksums when
48 clearing the dir_index feature.
49 * Fix a bug in e2fsck directory rehashing which could fail with ENOSPC
50 because it doesn't take into account the space needed for the metadata
51 checksum, and doesn't create a sufficiently deep index tree.
52 * Clarify the e2fsck messages when it resets the directory link count when
53 it is set to the overflow value but it is no longer needed.
54 * Mke2fs now sets the s_overhead_cluster field, so that the kernel doesn't
55 need to calculate it at mount time. This speeds up mounting very large
57 * Speed up mke2fs when creating large bigalloc file systems by optimizing
58 ext2fs_convert_subcluster_bitmap().

83 in pass 2. (Addresses Google Bug: #158564737)
84 * Fix tune2fs so that it unlocks the MMP block if it can't perform the
86 * Fix mke2fs so it can import the contents of a directory using the -d
87 option when it has inode numbers that are greater than 2**32. Also
88 fix an ommission were the extended attributes on the top-level directory
89 was not getting copied to the root directory.
90 * Fix e4crypt so that the add_key operation uses the explicitly provided
91 salt if it is provided.
92 * Fix resize2fs to prevent it from overflowing the block group descriptors
93 from overflowing the first block group. (This can only happen when the
94 block size is 1k and the file system is very large.)

96 fields, such as s_kbytes_written.
97 * Fix filefrag so that it won't crash if the kernel returns zero for
98 statfs(2)'s device id or if it returns a blocksize of zero the device's

1021 * New upstream version
1022 * Fix various e2fsck bugs when trying to repair bigalloc file systems.
1023 * E2fsck can now repair a file system with an overly large
1024 s_first_meta_bg field, which had previously caused all e2fsprogs
1025 programs to crash when trying to open such a file system.
1026 * Fix e2fsck so that it can correctly fix a number of rare file system
1027 corruptions that were discovered when using a file system fuzzer.
1028 * Fix e2fsck so it does not try to write back block group descriptors
1029 if they have not been modified.
1030 * The mke2fs program will now place metadata blocks in the last
1031 flex_bg so they are contiguous. This reduces free space
1032 fragmentation in a freshly created file system, as well as allowing
1033 mke2fs commands which request extremely large flex_bg size to succeed.
1034 * Mke2fs now creates hugefiles more efficiently (with fewer extent
1036 * Fix a 32/64-bit overflow bug that could cause resize2fs to loop
1038 * Reduce the memory consumption of resize2fs for very large file
1040 * Fix a bug that could cause resize2fs to create a corrupted file
1041 system when shrinking a very large file system (typically > 16TB)
1042 that had been previously grown using resize2fs. (Closes: #756922)
1043 * Fix tune2fs updating UUID's when manipulating file systems with
1044 external journals (both the file system and journal UUID).
1045 * Fix tune2fs so it can remove an external journal for file systems
1046 with a 1k block size.
1047 * Add a new debugfs command, "inode_dump", which prints the inode in

1084 controlled via a mke2fs.conf configuration parameter.
1085 * Fix a bug which caused e2fsck to abort a journal replay on a file
1086 system with bigalloc enabled. (Closes: #744953)
1087 * Fix mke2fs so it more correctly handles large flex_bg counts
1088 * Mke2fs will check the kernel version number and not just the sysfs
1089 feature flag to determine whether it is safe to enable lazy
1090 inode table initialization, so it won't get faked out if the ext4 is
1091 compiled as a module which hasn't happened to be loaded yet.

1093 which is in the future in preen mode.

1131 * The mke2fs program will now ask for confirmation before wiping out a
1132 pre-existing file system, partition label, or physical volume

1134 Previously the quota inode could be completely corrupted, and
1135 missing quota records could be not noticed

1141 * Fixed some off-line resize2fs bugs when relocating metadata blocks
1142 when growing or shrinking bigalloc file systems

1147 file system to a very very small size
1148 * Fixed e4defrag to work with 64-bit and bigalloc file systems
1149 * Fixed e2fsck to not issue a large number of very scary (but
1150 harmless) corruption messages when checking very large file systems
1151 when the file system has more inodes than the number of seconds
1152 since January 1, 1970.
1153 * E2fsck will now check the whole file system if file system problems
1154 are detected during its initial "pass 0" sanity check
1155 * Filefrag now prints the "shared extent" flag which is used by some
1156 file systems such as btrfs

1158 feature when creating a file system > 16TB when the fs size was
1159 determined automatically. It will now also do the right thing when
1160 the user explicitly specifies the file system size.

1315 blocks or if the file system did not have the resize_inode feature
1316 * Further optimize resize2fs so it doesn't use quite as much CPU when

1389 * Fix a problem if e2fsck where if the root file system is mounted
1390 read-only, e2fsck would not clear an error indication in the journal
1391 superblock. Combined with a kernel bug, this would cause the e2fsck
1392 to check the file system after every single boot
1393 * Fixed filefrag so it would not seg fault on virtual filesystems such
1394 as /proc: e.g., "filefrag /proc/partitions"
1395 * Fix filefrag so that it correctly reports the number of extents
1396 * Fixed a bug which caused "mke2fs -N 256 -t ext4 /tmp/foo.img 256m"
1397 to write blocks out until /tmp filled
1398 * Fixed a bug in how e2fsck would uniquify directory entry names
1399 * Change e2fsck so it will allow file systems mounted read-only to be
1400 checked with the -f option.
1401 * Fix e2fsck so that the file system is marked as containing an
1402 error if the user chooses not to fix the quota usage information.
1403 * Fix tune2fs so that it correctly removes the quota feature when
1404 the last quota inode is removed.
1405 * Fix tune2fs so that after removing a quota inode, the block bitmap
1406 is updated; otherwise, e2fsck would complain after running 'tune2fs
1408 * Fix tune2fs so that when converting a file system from using legacy
1409 quota files to the new quota file system feature with hidden quota
1410 files, the accounting for these files is handled correctly so that
1411 e2fsck doesn't complain.
1412 * The e4defrag program now allows device symlinks, such as
1413 /dev/mapper/testvg-testlv, instead of insisting on less
1414 human-friendly names such as /dev/dm-2
1415 * Updated/fixed various man pages (Closes: #680114)

1814 characters are used in its translation files (Closes: #583782, #587834)
1815 * E2freefrag will now display the total number of free extents.
1816 * Resize2fs -P now longer requires a freshly checked file system
1817 * Fixed a floating point precision error that can cause segfaults in
1818 e2fsck and resize2fs in extremely rare cases
1819 * Fixed a bug in e2fsck which caused it to fail if both the original
1820 and backup superblocks were invalid in some way
1821 * Fixed a bug in e2freefrag which caused getopt parsing to fail on
1822 architectures with unsigned chars

1842 * The resize2fs program will refuse to print the minimum size needed
1843 for a file system if it is not clean.
1844 * E2fsck now tests for extents that begin at physical block 0 and
1845 rejects them as invalid.
1846 * Fixed a bug in e2fsck which could cause it to crash when trying to
1847 remove an invalid extent and the block bitmaps hadn't yet been loaded.
1848 * E2fsck will now completely skip time-based checks if the system
1849 clock looks insane or if the broken_system_clock option is set
1850 in /etc/e2fsck.conf. (Closes: #549861, #540152)
1851 * Fixed a bug in e2fsck which caused e2fsck to complain about i_blocks
1852 with a 4T file created using posix_fallocate()
1853 * E2fsck will now correctly mark a sparse journal as invalid and will
1854 delete and recreate the journal to address the problem.
1855 * Fixed e2fsck not to ask permission from the user to abort if it's
1856 going to abort regardless of what the user is going to say...
1857 * E2fsck can now continue even if it fails to recreate the resize inode
1858 * E2fsck will now avoid removing directory entries for inodes found in
1859 the unused region of the inode table until after it restarts the fs
1860 check to avoid removing valid data.
1861 * E2fsck will now longer try to set the block group checksums if it
1863 * Mke2fs will check both the physical and logical blocksizes of a
1864 device to better support 4k sector drives.
1865 * Mke2fs will accept the valid (but rarely useful) flex_bg size of 1
1866 * E2fsck will check for cases where the EOFBLOCKS_FL is set when it is
1867 not needed, and offer to clear it.
1868 * The com_err library will now only output a CR character if the
1869 stderr is connected to a tty in raw mode.
1870 * Update Czech, Chinese, Dutch, French, Germany, Indonesian, Polish,
1871 and Vietnamese translations (from the Translation Project)
1872 * Add an fsck.ext4 symlink in the e2fsprogs-udeb package (Closes: #571247)

1882 * Debugfs's "logdump -b <blk>" now properly shows the allocation status
1883 of the block <blk>. (Closes: #564084)
1884 * Make e2fsck's "the filesystem is mounted" message is now more scary
1885 to hopefully dissuade users from thinking, "surely that message
1886 doesn't apply to *me*" :-(
1887 * e2fsck -n will now always open the file system read-only. We now
1888 disallow certain combination of options which previously were manual
1889 exceptions; this is bad because it causes users to think they are
1890 smarter than they really are. So "-n -c", "-n -l", "-n -L", and
1891 "-n -D" are no longer supported.
1892 * If the partition is badly aligned, have mke2fs just print a warning
1893 message and continue. Previously mke2fs would ask to confirm, and
1894 this broke distro installation scripts.
1895 * Fix a bug in libext2fs caused the creation of very large journals
1896 for ext4 to be _very_ slow.
1897 * E2fsck now understands the EOFBLOCKS_FL flag which will be used in
1898 2.6.34 kernels to make e2fsck not complain about blocks deliberately
1899 fallocated() beyond an inode's i_size.
1900 * Fix a bug in e2fsck which could cause e2fsck -D to corrupt
1901 non-indexed directories. (Closes: #572453)

1915 default/broken_system_clock for system with broken CMOS hardware
1916 clocks. (Closes: #559776)
1917 * Fix flex_bg inode table placement algorithm used by mke2fs for

1925 * Fix some big-endian bugs in e2fsck and libext2fs
1926 * Teach e2fsck to detect and fix sparse extent-mapped directories
1927 * Fix filefrag from core dumping on file systems with 8k block sizes
1928 * E2fsck was depending on i_size to be correct to detect and fix
1929 certain directory problems before actually fixing the
1930 directory's i_size. This caused certain rare corruptions to
1931 require two runs of e2fsck to address.
1932 * Update Czech, Indonesian, Polish and Vietnamese translations
1933 (from the Translation Project)
1934 * Fix e2fsck to find and correct duplicate directory entries in
1935 non-indexed directories.
1936 * Add support for calling BLKDISCARD to mke2fs.
1937 * Enhance libext2fs so it works around bug in Linux version 2.6.19
1938 and earlier where the /proc/swaps file was missing the header on
1940 * Fix resize2fs so it works correctly on file systems with external journals
1941 * Fix libss so that it does not seg fault when using a readline
1942 library which does not supply a readline_shutdown() function.
1943 * Add a pre-depends for util-linux-ng (Closes: #551795)
1944 * Update and clarify various man pages.
1945 * Corrected dumpe2fs's usage message
1946 * Teach libext2fs to ignore the high 32 bits of the i_blocks field
1947 when huge_file file system feature is set, but the inode does not
1948 have the HUGE_FILE_FL flag set.
1949 * Change e2fsck to accept superblock times to be fudged by up to 24
1950 hours by default. Most distributions have fixed their init scripts,
1951 but apparently now they have buggy virtualization scripts. :-( I
1952 give up, too many buggy user space set ups out there. (Closes: #557636)
1953 * Fix e2fsck to correctly print > 32-bit i_blocks numbers in problem reports
1954 * Improve e2fsck so it prints "Illegal indirect block" instead of
1956 * Teach mke2fs to get device topology information from blkid and use
1957 it to populate the superblock stride and stripe sizes and warn if
1958 the block device is misaligned
1959 * Fix a file descriptor leak in debugfs when sourcing a command file
1960 * Fix a file descriptor leak in fsck
1961 * Round up the bitmap size to prevent spurious segmentation faults on
1963 * Fix resize2fs to correctly calculate the minimum size needed, when
1964 flex_bg is enabled, to prevent resize2fs -M from failing.
1965 * Dumpe2fs now displays more information about the contents of the journal
1966 * Make sure the libblkid1 and libblkid1-dbg packages have changelogs
1967 * On low memory systems, e2fsck can print some very scary looking
1968 error messages. Clean up them up to avoid user panic. (Closes: #509529)

1982 * Require the user to only answer one question instead of multiple
1983 ones for multiple bad block group checksums, or when an inode
1984 table needs to be moved.
1985 * Fix e2fsck to handle moving inode tables in FLEX_BG filesystems more
1986 gracefully by looking in the entire flex_bg for space, instead of
1987 just in the block group; if that doesn't work, try looking for
1988 space in the entire filesystem.
1989 * Fix the filefrag code to avoid printing the extent header if it
1990 needs to fallback to using the FIBMAP ioctl.
1991 * Fix filefrag to print the correct number of extents for zero-length
1992 files when using FIBMAP. (Closes: #540376)
1993 * Add a filefrag -B option to make it easier to debug the FIBMAP
1995 * Allow e2fsprogs programs to allocate from uninitialized block groups.
1996 * Add a new program, e2freefrag, which displays information about the
1997 free space fragmentation in an ext2/3/4 filesystem.
1998 * E2fsck will now print much fuller information when the last mount
1999 time or last written time is in the future, since most people can't
2000 seem to believe their distribution has buggy init scripts, or they
2001 have a failed CMOS/RTS clock battery.

2003 Translation Project.
2004 * Enhance debugfs's 'stat' command to print basic extent information
2005 for extent-mapped inodes, and add a new command, 'dump_extents'
2006 which prints detailed information about an inode's extent tree.

2051 * Fix a bug in libext2fs which can cause e2fsck and resize2fs to write
2052 uninitialized data into the portion of the inode beyond the first 128
2053 bytes when operating on extents; potentially corrupting filesystems.

2061 journal and resize inodes.

2190 doesn't cause e2fsck to abort.

2192 fragmented files in verbose mode statistics and in the fragcheck

2195 verbose mode statistics.
2196 * E2fsck now leaves slack space when repacking directories so that a
2197 few new directory entries won't cause leaf nodes to become split
2199 * E2fsck was previously not handling the case of a corrupted interior
2200 node in the extent tree, and would crash in that case. It now will
2201 handle this and related failures robustly.

2203 referred to as "ext3" problems, since ext4 filesystems also have
2205 * Fix a long-standing bug in e2fsck which would cause it to crash when
2206 replying journals for filesystems with block sizes greater than 8k.
2207 * Fix a regression in debugfs's logdump command so it works for
2208 filesystems with 32-bit block numbers. This was accidentally broken
2209 when the header files were changed to support the 64-bit block numbers.
2210 * Fix resize2fs for ext4 filesystems. Some blocks that that need moving
2211 when shrinking filesystems with uninit_bg feature would not be
2212 moved. In addition, blocks and inode table blocks were not being
2213 correctly freed when shrinking filesystems with the flex_bg feable,
2214 which caused resize2fs -M to fail. Finally, when blocks are moved,

2221 devices currently used by user-level software suspend.

2223 have the flex_bg feature enabled, since the code currently assumes
2224 the each block group's portion inode table is located in its own

2227 for RAID storage devices.
2228 * Mke2fs now understands a -U option which allows the UUID to be
2229 specified for the new filesystem.

2260 e2fsprogs (1.41.2-1) unstable; urgency=low
2262 * New upstream release
2263 * Fix e2fsck's automatic blocksize detection. This fixes a regression
2264 added in e2fsprogs 1.40.7 where e2fsck's -b option would not

2615 * New upstream release.
2616 * Mke2fs will now create new filesystems with 256 byte inodes and the
2617 ext_attr feature flag by default. This allows for much better
2618 future compatibility with ext4 and speeds up extended attributes
2619 even on ext3 filesystems.
2620 * Teach mke2fs and tune2fs to set a "test_fs" flag, which indicates
2621 that it is ok to use the filesystem on in-development kernel
2622 code (i.e., ext4dev)

2650 * Make sure that programs like tune2fs, when modifying a mounted
2651 filesystem do not write the backup superblocks with the
2652 NEEDS_RECOVERY flag, to avoid e2fsck from needlessly forcing a
2653 full fsck because it thinks the feature flags need to be backed up
2654 from the master to the backup superblocks. (Closes: #454926)
2655 * Improve time-based UUID generation to guarantee uniqueness even when
2656 UUID's are being generated at very high rates on SMP systems. To
2657 do this we use an optional setuid helper daemon (uuidd) which is
2658 started by libuuid when it is needed. The uuidd daemon is
2659 packaged in the (new) uuid-runtime package, which now also includes
2660 the uuidgen program (which had been previously been included as
2661 part of the e2fsprogs package).
2662 * Fix fsck to only treat '#' characters at the beginning of /etc/fstab
2663 lines as starting a comment. This avoids spurious warnings printed
2664 for filesystems such as fuse that often use '#' as part of the

3967 * This uploads fixes 10 bugs, including data-corruption problems, and
3968 adds much to the ease of maintenance and problem tracking. Good
3971 * New upstream release (Closes: #106622, #116975, #118443, #119624,
3972 #120171, #120077, #129828, #132764).
3973 ** Fixes for data-corruption bugs not reported to the BTS: e2fsck
3974 trashed external journals needing to be replayed, e2fsck now hides
3975 visible journal files (data corruption problems when not excluded from
3976 a backup and then restored) (Closes: #132654).
3977 ** Other noticeable bugs fixed include: e2fsck null pointer
3978 dereferencing, fsck did not finds LVM volumes by UUID or by label,
3979 largefile support (ie. dealing with filesystems inside 2GB+ files) was
3980 broken in several programs.
3981 * Switch to debhelper v3 to get ldconfig automatically handled
3982 (lintian reported that it was broken). Now call dh_makeshlibs, but
3983 still override its generated shlibs file with ours, to get compiled
3984 packages depend of the correct virtual packages, which include
3986 * Removed call do dh_installman (Closes: #115526).
3987 * Cleaned up maintainer scripts with dead code - most things are now
3988 more properly handled by debhelper. Removed an "exit 0" lurking in
3989 preinst - can't find a reason for it in the changelog, it was probably
3991 * Remove obsolete maint-scripts in binary-arch, as they are provided by

4015 they add virtually no risk. Support for raw image files will be of
4016 great help to debug users' problems. Urgency set to "high" to make
4017 sure this version gets released with woody.

4020 it. (Closes: #107458).

4022 have a pass number is 0. (Closes: #106696).

4024 feature (Closes: #108165).

4026 stderr, and normal message go to stdout (Closes: #108555).
