Reproducible: Always




E2fsprogs 1.42.11 (July 9, 2014)

Add support so that mke2fs can create hugefiles so that they are aligned relative to the beginning of the disk, instead of relative to the beginning of the partition, using the mke2fs.conf configuration parameter "hugefiles_align_disk".

Fix a bug which causes e2fsck to abort a journal replay on a file system with bigalloc enabled. (Addresses Debian Bug: #744953)

Add sanity checks so that mke2fs will refuse insanely large flex_bg counts specified by the -G option. Insanely large flex_bg sizes can result in a file system which can't be unmounted, or with extremely pessimal metadata layouts.

The mke2fs program will provide a better metadata layout for moderately large (but believable) flex_bg counts, such as 133,072.

The mke2fs progam will also check the kernel version number to determine whether the lazy_itable_init option is supported, so that lazy inode table initialization can be used even if the ext4 is compiled as a module which isn't loaded at the time that mke2fs is run.

Add description of ext4's mount options to the ext4 section 5 man page.

Improve the chattr man page and clean up the chattr usage message.

E2fsck will now automatically fix a last mount time or last write time which is in the future in preen mode, instead of aborting the fsck check.

Mke2fs will now check the file system revision number requested by the command line, and reject it if it is too large. A file system with an unsupported revision number will not be accepted by any of the other file system tools, and this command line option is rarely used, so let's try to help the user not shoot their own foot off.

The debugfs progam can now set the error count and associated first_error and last_error fields in the superblock using the set_super_value command.

Resize2fs will not try to calculate the minimum size of a file system if it contains errors. Otherwise a very badly corrupted file system image can cause the minimum size calculation to loop forwever. Since resize2fs will not allow a file system marked as containing errors to be resized. It's pointless to calculate the minimum size, so just skip it.

Fixed a typo in one of mke2fs's error message.

If filefrag runs into an error, it will continue processing the rest of the files specified on thec ommand line, but then exit with an error code.

Filefrag now prints some additional new flags (such as FIEMAP_EXTENT_ENCODED), and print unknown flags as hex values.

Fixed support in filefrag for files with > 2**32 blocks on 32-bit platforms.

Fixed a file descriptor leak in debugfs when copying files.

Fixed a regression introduced in 1.42.10 which caused mke2fs to fail to create file systems larger than 2GB on 32-bit platforms. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: #1099892, Debian Bug: #752107)

Add Esparanto and Ukrainian translations, and update Czech, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Polish, Sweedish, and Vietnamese translations.

Fixed various compiler warnings.
Programmer's Notes

The gcc "-checker" option has been long deprecated, so remove support from e2fsprogs. It was causing a few people to be confused when they tried enabling the configure option.

Update to the latest version of the config.status and config.rpath files, as well as newer versions of the autoconf files in aclocal.m4. Also, move the e2fsprogs-specific macros to acinclude.m4, which allows people who want to use autoreconf to do so.

Make the use of strptime() function in debugfs to be more portable to fix regression test failures for FreeBSD and MacOS.

A few miscellaneous changes designed to make life easier for translators.

Fix the f_quota test and some Makefile dependencies if quota support is not enabled.

Fix cross-compilation support, which got broken in 1.42.10. (Addresses Debian Bug: #753375)

Delete lib/ext2_types.h on a make clean, and build it as necessary.

Add a debug program used for libext2fs unit tests.

Clean up the tests so that it avoids using GNU-specific behaviour in mktemp. Make sure the temporary files are cleaned up if the tests are interrupted.

Add a new ext2fs_close_free() helper function which automatically takes care of freeing the ext2_filsys structure even if ext2fs_close() returns an error.

Both packages are in portage but e2fsprogs-1.42.11 has a strange compile error so I package.masked both e2fsprogs-1.42.11 and e2fsprogs-libs-1.42.11.
