E2fsprogs 1.42.10 (May 18, 2014)
|
||||
================================
|
||||
|
||||
Mke2fs now creates file systems in regular files (which is very often
|
||||
used when maintaining virtual machine images) without requiring the
|
||||
user to use the force option. In addition, the mke2fs output has been
|
||||
made much less verbose and only displays information that users will
|
||||
be more likely to find useful by default.
|
||||
|
||||
Mke2fs now will ask the user to confirm that they want to continue
|
||||
before wiping out a pre-existing file system, partition table, or LVM
|
||||
physical volume.
|
||||
|
||||
Mke2fs now has the ability to create file systems where all the
|
||||
metadata is located at the very beginning of the device. This can be
|
||||
useful for flash devices which have SLC flash at the beginning of the
|
||||
disk, for FAT compatibility, for example. As part of this, mke2fs and
|
||||
tune2fs can control the location of the data blocks used by the
|
||||
journal inode. In addition, the new sparse_super2 feature allows for
|
||||
even fewer (anywhere from zero to two) backup superblocks.
|
||||
|
||||
Mke2fs now uses much less CPU when allocating the blocks used for very
|
||||
large file systems.
|
||||
|
||||
Mke2fs can now support creating a file system at an offset. This can
|
||||
be useful when creating a disk image for virtual machines (Addresses
|
||||
Debian Bug: #497984)
|
||||
|
||||
Previously, e2fsck had a number of very serious bugs when checking a
|
||||
file system wich used the new the quota file system option (where the
|
||||
quota inodes were stored in hidden inodes) and the quota inode was
|
||||
inconsistent with the actual usage data. This problem was documented
|
||||
in https://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Quota. These problems have
|
||||
been fixed in 1.42.10, so the quota should be safe to use with
|
||||
e2fsprogs 1.42.10.
|
||||
|
||||
Fixed in a bug in resize2fs which could cause shrink operation fail in
|
||||
the unlikely situation when the inode table needs to be moved to a
|
||||
location before the current location.
|
||||
|
||||
Resize2fs now has a much more accurate (and less conservative)
|
||||
estimation of how far the file system can be shrunk. This allows a
|
||||
mostly empty filesystem which is a few terabytes, to be shrunk to a
|
||||
few megabytes in a single resize2fs -M operation.
|
||||
|
||||
E2fsck will now force a full file system check if there are any file
|
||||
system inconsistencies detected in the super block.
|
||||
|
||||
The filefrag program will now display hte shared extent flag, which is
|
||||
used by file systems such as btrfs.
|
||||
|
||||
If the number of inodes in the file systems is larger than the time
|
||||
that file sytem was created (as measured by the number of seconds
|
||||
since January 1, 1970) e2fsck would print a scary (but otherwise
|
||||
harmless) warning of file system corruption for each inode in the
|
||||
orphan list. This false positive has been fixed.
|
||||
|
||||
The e4defrag program has been fixed so it will no longer refuse with
|
||||
filesystem with the 64-bit or the bigalloc feature enabled.
|
||||
|
||||
The logsave progam will print a much less scary message which could
|
||||
lead users to believe something has gone very wrong with e2fsck exits
|
||||
with a non-zero exit status (since this is normal after e2fsck has
|
||||
automatically fixed a file system corruption during a preen
|
||||
operation). (Addresses Debian Bug: #468821)
|
||||
|
||||
When creating a file system which is larger than 16TB, the
|
||||
resize_inode option must be disabled -- since the resize_inode simply
|
||||
doesn't support reserving metadata block numbers which is larger than
|
||||
32 bits. The mke2fs program does this automatically if the file
|
||||
system size is determined automatically. It will now also do this if
|
||||
the file size is specified explicitly.
|
||||
|
||||
Fixed bugs associated with resize2fs and shrinking bigalloc file
|
||||
systems.
|
||||
|
||||
The e2fsck program will no longer try to add a UUID on a mounted file
|
||||
system with checksums enabled, since this could leave the file system
|
||||
checksums broken.
|
||||
|
||||
Tune2fs will allow the removal of an external journal from file system
|
||||
which is marked as needing the journal replayed when the force ("-f")
|
||||
option is given twice. (Addresses Debian Bug: #559301)
|
||||
|
||||
Tune2fs will no longer support enabling sparse_super if the meta_bg
|
||||
file system feature is enabled, since it could result in data loss.
|
||||
In practice, all modern file systems have sparse_super is enabled, so
|
||||
it's not worth trying to change how tune2fs handles enabling the
|
||||
sparse_super feature.
|
||||
|
||||
Fixed support for 1k block file systems with the meta_bg feature.
|
||||
|
||||
When the superblock is corrupt, e2fsck can't figure out the location
|
||||
of the alternate superblock. Unfortunately, the routine that
|
||||
calculates the location of the alternate superblock uses 8193 if it
|
||||
can't figure this out, so the message printed by e2fsck always
|
||||
suggests using "e2fsck -b 8193". This message has been fixed to
|
||||
suggest both the superblock location of 8193 and and 32768.
|
||||
(Addresses Debian Bug: #719185)
|
||||
|
||||
The lookback mount detection code that was introduced in 1.42.9 wasn't
|
||||
actually compiled in due to an autoconf oops, so it's fixed now in
|
||||
1.42.10. (Addresses Debian Bug: #497984)
|
||||
|
||||
A bug introduced in 1.42.9 would cause debugfs to print two error
|
||||
messages if it found an error while parsing a user-supplied block
|
||||
number. This has been fixed in 1.42.10.
|
||||
|
||||
Update Czech, Dutch, French, German, Polish, Spanish, Sweedish, and
|
||||
Vietnamese translations. (Addresses Debian Bug: #703048)
|
||||
|
||||
Updated/fixed various man pages. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #719189,
|
||||
#719184)
|
||||
|
||||
Fixed various Debian Packaging Issues. (Addresses Debian Bug: #718725)

||||
Programmer's Notes
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Fixed a lot of coverity, sparce gcc -Wall, and clang warnings/nits.
|
||||
|
||||
Allow the location of pkg-config files to be specified independent of
|
||||
the libdir location via a makefile variable.
|
||||
|
||||
Fixed parse-types.sh not to complain when cross-compiling and the
|
||||
sizes of types are different between the target architecture and the
|
||||
architecture of the build system
|
||||
|
||||
Allow the regression test suite to work correctly on systems which do
|
||||
not have the "truncate" or "mksawp" programs.
|
||||
|
||||
Allow e2fsck to build correctly on systems (such as Android) that do
|
||||
not have the signal.h file.
|
||||
|
||||
E2fsprogs now has code coverage testing which can be enbled using
|
||||
"configure --enable-gcov".
|
||||
|
||||
The libe2p.h header file can now be used included by C++ programs.
|
||||
|
||||
The profile/config file used by e2fsck and mke2fs will interpret
|
||||
numbers with a leading 0 character to mean that they should be
|
||||
interpreted as an octal integer.
|
||||
|
||||
The extent handling functions in libext2fs have been improved so they
|
||||
have proper rollback when there is an error splitting an extent. Also
|
||||
fix a number of bugs when punching holes in files, and fix an
|
||||
off-by-one bug when inserting an extent into an empty inode.
|
||||
|
||||
The libext2fs library now handles the support of BLOCK_UNINIT by
|
||||
clearing the portion of block bitmap when it is loaded, instead of
|
||||
when it is used. This reduces the chances of bugs, and and simplifies
|
||||
the code. It also means that debugfs will properly show that blocks
|
||||
in uninitialized block groups as being unused when using the testb
|
||||
command.
|
||||
|
||||
The e4defrag program will try to use fadvise64 or posix_fadvise64() if
|
||||
it is present, which allows 64-bit offsets on 32-bit systems.

|

* New upstream version
|
||||
* The mke2fs program no longer requires a force (-F) option when
|
||||
when creating a file system in a regular file, since this is a very
|
||||
common use case when managing virtual machine images
|
||||
* The mke2fs program will now ask for confirmation before wiping out a
|
||||
pre-existing file system, partition label, or physical volume
|
||||
* Fix e2fsck so that it properly handles an inconsistent quota inode.
|
||||
Previously the quota inode could be completely corrupted, and
|
||||
missing quota records could be not noticed
|
||||
* Fix mke2fs so if packed metadata blocks are enabled that the block
|
||||
group checksum are set correctly
|
||||
* Debugfs has new commands to allow the quota inode to be queried directly
|
||||
* Tune2fs will allow removal of dirty journal with two "-f" options
|
||||
(Closes: #559301)
|
||||
* Fixed some off-line resize2fs bugs when relocating metadata blocks
|
||||
when growing or shrinking bigalloc file systems
|
||||
* Fixed resize2fs's calculation of the minimum required file system
|
||||
size. This allows resize2fs -M to shrink the file system more
|
||||
aggressively
|
||||
* Fixed resize2fs to properly handle shrinking a very large and empty
|
||||
file system to a very very small size
|
||||
* Fixed e4defrag to work with 64-bit and bigalloc file systems
|
||||
* Fixed e2fsck to not issue a large number of very scary (but
|
||||
harmless) corruption messages when checking very large file systems
|
||||
when the file system has more inodes than the number of seconds
|
||||
since January 1, 1970.
|
||||
* E2fsck will now check the whole file system if file system problems
|
||||
are detected durings its initial "pass 0" sanity check
|
||||
* Filefrag now prints the "shared extent" flag which is used by some
|
||||
file systems such as btrfs
|
||||
* The mke2fs program would previously correctly omit the resize_inode
|
||||
feature when creating a file system > 16TB when the fs size was
|
||||
determined automatically. It will now also do the right thing when
|
||||
the user explicitly specifies the file system size.
|
||||
* The message printed by logsave is now much less scary (Closes: #468821)
|
||||
* Fix spelling typo in the package descriptions
|
||||
* Update Czech, Dutch, French, German, Polish, Spanish, Sweedish, and
|
