38 systems using the -ra options. New options to help with this use
39 case that were added: -o, -O, -p, and -c.
40 * Fixed a regression introduced in 1.42.8 which would cause e2fsck to

43 when shrinking a file system. (Closes: #660793)
44 * Fixed resize2fs and e2fsck to not crash when operating on a file
45 system with the MMP feature enabled.

63 * New upstream version
64 * Work around Debian Bug #712530 (Closes: #708307)
65 * Fix e2fsck so it can check a read-only root file system with an
66 external journal. (Closes: #707030)
67 * Fix off-line resizing of file systems with flex_bg && !resize_inode
69 * Change mke2fs so that it does not set the root directory to the real

71 override this behavior.
72 * If an invalid journal size is given to mke2fs, it will now complain
74 * Fix resize2fs when shrinking file systems to make sure that bitmap
75 blocks aren't left outside the bounds of the shrunken file system.
76 This could happen with flex_bg file systems that were grown using

105 * Added new options to filefrag to be consistent with the version from
107 * Optimized e2fsck's CPU utilization
108 * Fixed e2fsck so it detects and fixes inconsistencies in the interior
109 nodes of an inode's extent tree

116 allocate when a memory allocation request fails, to make it easier to
117 track down the problem.
118 * Fixed a bug in resize2fs which could cause severe file system
119 corruption when growing an ext4 file system which was formatted with
120 fewer-than-normal reserved gdt blocks
121 * Fixed resize2fs to be able to handle off-line resizes of file
122 systems with the flex_bg feature and without any reserved gdt
123 blocks or if the file system did not have the resize_inode feature
124 * Further optimize resize2fs so it doesn't use quite as much CPU when
125 resizing very large file systems.
126 * Fixed 32-bit overflow bugs which could cause resize2fs to fail and
127 possibly corrupt the file system while resizing 64-bit file systems.
128 * Fixed a big which could cause resize2fs to corrupt bigalloc file systems.
129 * Fix a crash while mke2fs is parsing "-E resize=NNN" with the 64bit

137 * Fixed debugfs's htree command so that all its messages are sent
139 * Fixed debugfs's dump_file and cat functions so they work correctly
140 on file systems with a block size greater than 8k.
141 * Fixed mke2fs's handling of the mmp_update_interval option
142 * Fixed e2freefrag so it works on 64-bit file systems, and so it uses
144 * E2image can now include all data blocks in the e2image output
145 file when the user specifies the -a option.

189 e2fsprogs (1.42.5-1) unstable; urgency=low
191 * New upstream version
192 * Mark the e2fsprogs package as Multi-Arch: foreign, so if a package
193 foo:i386 depends on e2fsprogs and is installed on an amd64 system,
194 the native e2fsprogs will satisfy the dependency. (Closes: #678395)
195 * Fix a fd leak which could cause logsave (and hence a boot-time rc
196 init script) to hang (Closes: #682592)
197 * Fix a problem if e2fsck where if the root file system is mounted
198 read-only, e2fsck would not clear an error indication in the journal
199 superblock. Combined with a kernel bug, this would cause the e2fsck
200 to check the file system after every single boot

202 as /proc: e.g., "filefrag /proc/partitions"
203 * Fix filefrag so that it correctly reports the number of extents

207 * Change e2fsck so it will allow file systems mounted read-only to be
208 checked with the -f option.
209 * Fix e2fsck so that the file system is marked as containing an
210 error if the user chooses not to fix the quota usage information.
211 * Fix tune2fs so that it correctly removes the quota feature when
212 the last quota inode is removed.
213 * Fix tune2fs so that after removing a quota inode, the block bitmap
214 is updated; otherwise, e2fsck would complain after running 'tune2fs
216 * Fix tune2fs so that when converting a file system from using legacy
217 quota files to the new quota file system feature with hidden quota
218 files, the accounting for these files is handled correctly so that
219 e2fsck doesn't complain.
220 * The e4defrag program now allows device symlinks, such as
221 /dev/mapper/testvg-testlv, instead of insisting on less
222 human-friendly names such as /dev/dm-2

304 problems that were found and fixed directly.
305 * E2fsck can now limit the number of messages issued and printed on

696 disallow certain combination of options which previously were manual

736 * E2fsck was depending on i_size to be correct to detect and fix
737 certain directory problems before actually fixing the

756 have the HUGE_FILE_FL flag set.
757 * Change e2fsck to accept superblock times to be fudged by up to 24
758 hours by default. Most distributions have fixed their init scripts,

793 * Fix e2fsck to handle moving inode tables in FLEX_BG filesystems more
794 gracefully by looking in the entire flex_bg for space, instead of
795 just in the block group; if that doesn't work, try looking for
796 space in the entire filesystem.

805 free space fragmentation in an ext2/3/4 filesystem.
806 * E2fsck will now print much fuller information when the last mount
807 time or last written time is in the future, since most people can't

1003 verbose mode statistics.
1004 * E2fsck now leaves slack space when repacking directories so that a
1005 few new directory entries won't cause leaf nodes to become split

1014 replying journals for filesystems with block sizes greater than 8k.
1015 * Fix a regression in debugfs's logdump command so it works for
1016 filesystems with 32-bit block numbers. This was accidentally broken
1017 when the header files were changed to support the 64-bit block numbers.
1018 * Fix resize2fs for ext4 filesystems. Some blocks that that need moving
1019 when shrinking filesystems with uninit_bg feature would not be
1020 moved. In addition, blocks and inode table blocks were not being
1021 correctly freed when shrinking filesystems with the flex_bg feable,
1022 which caused resize2fs -M to fail. Finally, when blocks are moved,

1031 have the flex_bg feature enabled, since the code currently assumes
1032 the each block group's portion inode table is located in its own
1034 * Fix tune2fs -I so it won't corrupt ext3/ext4 filesystem configured
1035 for RAID storage devices.
1036 * Mke2fs now understands a -U option which allows the UUID to be
1037 specified for the new filesystem.
1038 * Mke2fs will now treat devices with exactly 16TB as if they have 16TB
1039 minus one block, since many users expect ext4 to support 16TB
1040 devices, and the true maximum size is 16TB-1.

1122 * Add support for on-line resizing of ext4 filesystems with the
1123 flex_bg filesystem feature.

1421 e2fsprogs (1.40.5-1) unstable; urgency=low
1423 * New upstream release.
1424 * Mke2fs will now create new filesystems with 256 byte inodes and the
1425 ext_attr feature flag by default. This allows for much better
1426 future compatibity with ext4 and speeds up extended attributes
1427 even on ext3 filesystems.
1428 * Teach mke2fs and tune2fs to set a "test_fs" flag, which indicates
1429 that it is ok to use the filesystem on in-development kernel
1430 code (i.e., ext4dev)
1431 * E2fsck now optimizes non-htree directories by sorting them by inode
1433 * Add support for detecting HFS+ and ext4/ext4dev filesystems in blkid
1434 * Fix blkid's ntfs UUID handling so it is compatible with vol_id
1435 * Avoid a floating point exception when blkid tries to probe a corrpt
1436 reiserfs filesystem.

1439 * Cause e2image to exit immediately with an error message on a disk
1441 * Fix a minor typos in the resize2fs and uuidd manpages.
1442 * E2fsck will no longer backup superblocks when the kernel makes
1443 certain "safe" feature set changes behind the user's back.
1444 * Fix debugfs's lsdel command so it works on large files
1445 * Allow a user to undelete an inode with linking to a destination
1447 * Update Swedish translation file from the Translation Project

1456 e2fsprogs (1.40.4-1) unstable; urgency=low
1458 * Make sure that programs like tune2fs, when modifying a mounted
1459 filesystem do not write the backup superblocks with the
1460 NEEDS_RECOVERY flag, to avoid e2fsck from needlessly forcing a
1461 full fsck because it thinks the feature flags need to be backed up
1462 from the master to the backup superblocks. (Closes: #454926)
1463 * Improve time-based UUID generation to guarantee uniqueness even when
1464 UUID's are being generated at very high rates on SMP systems. To
1465 do this we use an optional setuid helper daemon (uuidd) which is
1466 started by libuuid when it is needed. The uuidd daemon is
1467 packaged in the (new) uuid-runtime package, which now also includes
1468 the uuidgen program (which had been previously been included as
1469 part of the e2fsprogs package).
1470 * Fix fsck to only treat '#' characters at the beginning of /etc/fstab
1471 lines as starting a comment. This avoids spurious warnings printed
1472 for filesystems such as fuse that often use '#' as part of the
1473 filesystem specifier (i.e., wdfs#https://dav.hoster.com/foo).
1474 * Enhance the blkid program to pretty-print control and meta
1475 characters to avoid garbage filesystem labels from screwing up the
1477 * Fix potential integer overflows passed to malloc() in resize2fs
1478 * Update Dutch, Polish, and Vietnamese translations from the

1485 invalid FAT filesystem.

1487 error code is passed to it.
1488 * Build the e2fsck-static package so that e2fsck.static will not use
