147 * Further optimize resize2fs so it doesn't use quite as much CPU when
148 resizing very large file systems.
149 * Fixed 32-bit overflow bugs which could cause resize2fs to fail and
150 possibly corrupt the file system while resizing 64-bit file systems.
151 * Fixed a big which could cause resize2fs to corrupt bigalloc file systems.

671 * Fixed a bug in e2fsck which could cause it to crash when trying to
672 remove an invalid extent and the block bitmaps hadn't yet been loaded.

708 of the block <blk>. (Closes: #564084)
709 * Make e2fsck's "the filesystem is mounted" message is now more scary
710 to hopefully dissuade users from thinking, "surely that message
711 doesn't apply to *me*" :-(
712 * e2fsck -n will now always open the file system read-only. We now
713 disallow certain combination of options which previously were manual
714 exceptions; this is bad because it causes users to think they are
715 smarter than they really are. So "-n -c", "-n -l", "-n -L", and
716 "-n -D" are no longer supported.
717 * If the partition is badly aligned, have mke2fs just print a warning
718 message and continue. Previously mke2fs would ask to confirm, and
719 this broke distro installation scripts.
720 * Fix a bug in libext2fs caused the creation of very large journals
721 for ext4 to be _very_ slow.
722 * E2fsck now understands the EOFBLOCKS_FL flag which will be used in
723 2.6.34 kernels to make e2fsck not complain about blocks deliberately
724 fallocated() beyond an inode's i_size.

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

758 (from the Translation Project)
759 * Fix e2fsck to find and correct duplicate directory entries in
760 non-indexed directories.
761 * Add support for calling BLKDISCARD to mke2fs.
762 * Enhance libext2fs so it works around bug in Linux version 2.6.19
763 and earlier where the /proc/swaps file was missing the header on
765 * Fix resize2fs so it works correctly on file systems with external journals
766 * Fix libss so that it does not seg fault when using a readline
767 library which does not supply a readline_shutdown() function.

772 when huge_file file system feature is set, but the inode does not
773 have the HUGE_FILE_FL flag set.
774 * Change e2fsck to accept superblock times to be fudged by up to 24
775 hours by default. Most distributions have fixed their init scripts,
776 but apparently now they have buggy virtualization scripts. :-( I
777 give up, too many buggy user space set ups out there. (Closes: #557636)

809 table needs to be moved.
810 * Fix e2fsck to handle moving inode tables in FLEX_BG filesystems more
811 gracefully by looking in the entire flex_bg for space, instead of
812 just in the block group; if that doesn't work, try looking for
813 space in the entire filesystem.

815 needs to fallback to using the FIBMAP ioctl.
816 * Fix filefrag to print the correct number of extents for zero-length
817 files when using FIBMAP. (Closes: #540376)

822 free space fragmentation in an ext2/3/4 filesystem.
823 * E2fsck will now print much fuller information when the last mount
824 time or last written time is in the future, since most people can't
825 seem to believe their distribution has buggy init scripts, or they
826 have a failed CMOS/RTS clock battery.

1015 doesn't cause e2fsck to abort.
1016 * E2fsck now distinguishes between fragmented directories and
1017 fragmented files in verbose mode statistics and in the fragcheck
1019 * Avoid double-counting non-contiguous extent-based inodes in the
1020 verbose mode statistics.
1021 * E2fsck now leaves slack space when repacking directories so that a
1022 few new directory entries won't cause leaf nodes to become split
1024 * E2fsck was previously not handling the case of a corrupted interior
1025 node in the extent tree, and would crash in that case. It now will

1030 * Fix a long-standing bug in e2fsck which would cause it to crash when
1031 replying journals for filesystems with block sizes greater than 8k.
1032 * Fix a regression in debugfs's logdump command so it works for
1033 filesystems with 32-bit block numbers. This was accidentally broken
1034 when the header files were changed to support the 64-bit block numbers.
1035 * Fix resize2fs for ext4 filesystems. Some blocks that that need moving
1036 when shrinking filesystems with uninit_bg feature would not be
1037 moved. In addition, blocks and inode table blocks were not being
1038 correctly freed when shrinking filesystems with the flex_bg feable,
1039 which caused resize2fs -M to fail. Finally, when blocks are moved,
1040 make sure the uninitialized flag in extents is preserved.

1046 devices currently used by user-level software suspend.
1047 * tune2fs will not allow changing the inode size for filesystems that
1048 have the flex_bg feature enabled, since the code currently assumes
1049 the each block group's portion inode table is located in its own
1051 * Fix tune2fs -I so it won't corrupt ext3/ext4 filesystem configured
1052 for RAID storage devices.
1053 * Mke2fs now understands a -U option which allows the UUID to be
1054 specified for the new filesystem.
1055 * Mke2fs will now treat devices with exactly 16TB as if they have 16TB
1056 minus one block, since many users expect ext4 to support 16TB
1057 devices, and the true maximum size is 16TB-1.

1139 * Add support for on-line resizing of ext4 filesystems with the
1140 flex_bg filesystem feature.

1440 * New upstream release.
1441 * Mke2fs will now create new filesystems with 256 byte inodes and the
1442 ext_attr feature flag by default. This allows for much better
1443 future compatibity with ext4 and speeds up extended attributes
1444 even on ext3 filesystems.
1445 * Teach mke2fs and tune2fs to set a "test_fs" flag, which indicates
1446 that it is ok to use the filesystem on in-development kernel
1447 code (i.e., ext4dev)
1448 * E2fsck now optimizes non-htree directories by sorting them by inode
1450 * Add support for detecting HFS+ and ext4/ext4dev filesystems in blkid
1451 * Fix blkid's ntfs UUID handling so it is compatible with vol_id
1452 * Avoid a floating point exception when blkid tries to probe a corrpt
1453 reiserfs filesystem.

1460 certain "safe" feature set changes behind the user's back.

1473 e2fsprogs (1.40.4-1) unstable; urgency=low
1475 * Make sure that programs like tune2fs, when modifying a mounted
1476 filesystem do not write the backup superblocks with the
1477 NEEDS_RECOVERY flag, to avoid e2fsck from needlessly forcing a
1478 full fsck because it thinks the feature flags need to be backed up
1479 from the master to the backup superblocks. (Closes: #454926)
1480 * Improve time-based UUID generation to guarantee uniqueness even when
1481 UUID's are being generated at very high rates on SMP systems. To
1482 do this we use an optional setuid helper daemon (uuidd) which is
1483 started by libuuid when it is needed. The uuidd daemon is
1484 packaged in the (new) uuid-runtime package, which now also includes
1485 the uuidgen program (which had been previously been included as
1486 part of the e2fsprogs package).
1487 * Fix fsck to only treat '#' characters at the beginning of /etc/fstab
1488 lines as starting a comment. This avoids spurious warnings printed
1489 for filesystems such as fuse that often use '#' as part of the
1490 filesystem specifier (i.e., wdfs#https://dav.hoster.com/foo).
1491 * Enhance the blkid program to pretty-print control and meta
1492 characters to avoid garbage filesystem labels from screwing up the
1494 * Fix potential integer overflows passed to malloc() in resize2fs

1502 invalid FAT filesystem.
