| E2fsprogs 1.42.9 (December 28, 2013) |
| ==================================== |
| |
| Mke2fs will detect an attempt to create a file system on a loop |
| mounted file and complain without the -FF option. Also fixed mke2fs |
| so it allows the creation of a file system on a mounted device with |
| two -F options, as documented in the man page, instead of three -F |
| options. |
| |
| Fixed a large number of bugs in resize2fs, e2fsck, debugfs, and |
| libext2fs to correctly handle bigalloc and 64-bit file systems. There |
| were many corner cases that had not been noticed in previous uses of |
| these file systems, since they are not as common. Some of the bugs |
| could cause file system corruption or data loss, so users of 64-bit or |
| bigalloc file systems are strongly urged to upgrade to e2fsprogs |
| 1.42.9. |
| |
| The tune2fs program will now not allow changing the uuid on a mounted |
| file system which has the uninit_bg feature enabled. This avoids a |
| nasty race where the kernel and tune2fs are both retrying rewrite the |
| group descriptors at the same time, with different ideas about what |
| the UUID should be. |
| |
| When e2fsck is rehashing an extent-mapped directory, it's possible |
| (although very rare) that an extent block will need to be allocated; |
| fix e2fsck to make sure that the block gets marked as used. |
| |
| Mke2fs will now properly set the LARGE_FILE feature when creating a |
| journal >= 2GB --- which can happen when using 64k block size. |
| |
| Fixed debugfs so that its freei command will correctly handle a request |
| to free a range of consecutive inodes. |
| |
| Fixed 2fsck so it will not erroneously complain that an external journal |
| is invalid if it is exactly 2**32 blocks. |
| |
| Fixed e2fsck so it won't try checking for, and adding, a missing |
| lost+found directory when running in read-only mode. |
| |
| Fixed e2image to avoid some buffer overruns which would cause it to when |
| creating a "standard (non-raw, non-qcow2) image file. Standard |
| e2image files are actually very rarely used, so we didn't notice when |
| the changes to enable the qcow2 format broke this e2image mode. |
| |
| Fixed mke2fs so that the extended option "-E resize=NNN" will not turn |
| on the resize_inode feature when the meta_bg feature is set, since |
| these two features can not be set at the same time. |
| |
| Fixed tune2fs so that when it disables the quota feature, it updates all |
| of the backup superblocks. |
| |
| Fixed dumpe2fs that would cause it to abort when run using an image file |
| when trying to print the journal information (which is not present in |
| an e2image created image file). |
| |
| Fixed a potential integer overflow in e2reefrag. |
| (Addresses-Debian-Bug: #718205) |
| |
| Enhance debugfs so that when copying a sparse file from a native file |
| system into the file system image using the "write" command, it will |
| create a sparse file into the destination file system. |
| |
| Enhanced debugfs so it can support a command line which is up to 8k |
| long. |
| |
| E2image will refuse (unless the -f option is specified to force the |
| issue) to create a raw or qcow image using a mounted file system, |
| unless the -f option is specified to force the issue. |
| |
| E2image has been optimized for using it to efficiently copy a file |
| system by only copying the allocated blocks, by using the options -ra. |
| New options (-o and -O) have been added so that a source and |
| destination offset can be given. The -p option will print progress |
| information so the user will know how far along the copy is going. |
| And finally, the new option -c is useful for updating a file system on |
| an SSD, by avoiding unnecessary writes. E2image can also shift a file |
| system image by doing an in place move. |
| |
| Fix a regression introduced in 1.42.8 which would cause e2fsck to |
| erroneously report uninitialized extents past the EOF (as determined by |
| i_size) to be invalid. |
| |
| Fixed resize2fs so under a corner case when an inode has a complex |
| extent tree, it will not corrupt an interior node in the extent tree. |
| |
| Fixed resize2fs which would sometimes corrupt a file system when |
| shrinking a file system to a minimum size using resize2fs -M. |
| (Addresses Debian Bug: #660793) |
| |
| Fixed resize2fs so that it will relocate inode table blocks if this |
| becomes necessary when shrinking the file system. |
| |
| Fixed resize2fs and e2fsck so they will not crash when hit a failure |
| while operating on a file system with the MMP feature enabled. |
| |
| Fixed a bug in debugfs which caused it create an invalid inode when |
| trying to write a zero-length file. |
| |
| E2fsck will no longer crash if it tries to delete an invalid |
| extent-mapped symlink. |
| |
| E2fsck will no longer crash if it comes across an directory which is |
| larger than 2GB (which is not allowed in valid file systems). |
| |
| Fixed debugfs's help texts to fully document all options and otherwise |
| be more helpful. |
| |
| Updated/fixed various man pages. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #586218, |
| #669730, #698076) |
| |
| Fixed various Debian Packaging Issues (#698879, #721365) |
| |
| |
| Programmer's Notes |
| ------------------ |
| |
| Fix sparse, gcc -Wall and clang nits. |
| |
| Update config.{guess,sub} to the latest version |
| |
| Fixed various memory and file descriptor leaks on various error paths, |
| as well as some missing error return checks, which were found using |
| Coverity. |
| |
| Run sparse against source files when building e2fsprogs with 'make |
| C=1'. If instead C=2, it configures basic ext2 types for bitwise |
| checking with sparse, which can help find the (many many) spots where |
| conversion errors are (possibly) happening. |
| |
| Allow the regression test to be run in chrooted environments where |
| /etc/mtab might be missing. |
| |
| The ext2fs_punch() function, which was introduced in 1.42, was broken |
| in many ways, but this was never noticed since it wasn't used for |
| anything significant. Some of the bugs include failing when trying to |
| punch a completely sparse file, failing when punching an extent-mapped |
| inode when the starting block was at the beginning of the inode, and |
| not being able to punch a single block (where start_blk == end_block). |
| It also didn't handle being passed an invalid, too-large ending block |
| number, and didn't handle properly terminate at the right place when |
| operating on an indirect-mapped inode. |
| |
| Fixed some minor typo's in the error catalog for libext2fs. |
| |
| Fixed ext2fs_file_set_size2() so that if it truncates an inode by |
| setting the file size, to zero the rest of the block to the end of the |
| file, so that if an ext4 FUSE driver tries to extended the file, that |
| we don't avoid stale data from being returned. |
| |
| Fixed ext2fs_bmap() to disallow clients from trying to map or set |
| logical blocks which are larger than what an extent-mapped or indirect |
| block-mapped inode can allow. |
| |
| If debugfs (or some userspace program using libext2fs) creates a file |
| which is larger than 2GB, make sure the large_file feature flag gets |
| set. |
| |
| Fix a bug in ext2fs_link() where if there is multiple empty slots in the |
| directory which are large enough, the directory entry could get |
| inserted more than once in the directory. |
| |
| If quota support is disabled (which is the default), make sure that |
| all traces of the quota support is removed from usage messages, man |
| pages, and tune2fs must not be able to enable the quota file system |
| feature. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: #1010709) |
| |
| The ext2fs_file_write() now updates i_size on a successful write, |
| instead of only updating i_size wen the file is closed via |
| ext2fs_file_close(). |
| |
| Added a shell script, populate-extfs.sh which uses debugfs to populate |
| an ext2/3/4 file system image from a given directory. It is similar |
| to the genext2fs program, but it supports ext3 and ext4 file system. |
| |
| Add changes to the libext2fs library to support block group |
| descriptors larger than 64 bytes (for future compatibility). |
| |
| Fixed an off-by-one bug in ext2fs_file_set_size2() so that it will not |
| leave an extra block in the file when truncating the file down to |
| size. |
| |
| The html version info pages are now built using makeinfo --html |
| instead of the unmaintained and now-obsolete texi2html program. |
| |
| |
| E2fsprogs 1.42.8 (June 20, 2013) |
| ================================ |
| |
| As a part of mke2fs's option parsing cleanup, the use of the -R option |
| will give a warning that it is depreated (it has been so documented |
| since 2005) and -E should be used instead. |
| |
| Mke2fs will not give warnings about the bigalloc and quota options in |
| quiet mode. |
| |
| If an invalid journal size is given to mke2fs, it will now complain |
| and exit sooner. |
| |
| Debugfs was erroneously giving spurious error messages for certain |
| extent_inode subcommands which take arguments (split_node, |
| replace_node, and insert_node). This has been fixed. |
| |
| Fix the parsing of the 's' (sectors) in parse_num_blocks2, which among |
| other programs is used by mke2fs. |
| |
| Change mke2fs so that it does not set the root directory to the real |
| uid/gid of the mke2fs process. Add the extended option root_owner to |
| override this behavior. |
| |
| Fix resize2fs when shrinking file systems to make sure that bitmap |
| blocks aren't left outside the bounds of the shrunken file system. |
| This could happen with flex_bg file systems that were grown using |
| the old online resizing algorithm. |
| |
| E2fsck will now detect and repair corrupted extent trees which contain |
| invalid extents at the end of the extent tree leaf block. |
| |
| E2fsck will now longer complain about zero length extended attribute |
| values. |
| |
| Fix a regression introduced in e2fsprogs v1.42 which caused e2image -s |
| to crash. |
| |
| Add safety check so tune2fs will not attempt to set the inode size to |
| be larger than the block size. |
| |
| Fix e2fsck so it can check a read-only root file system with an |
| external journal. (Addresses Debian Bug: #707030 |
| |
| Fix off-line resizing of file systems with flex_bg && !resize_inode |
| (Addresses Debian Bug: #696746) |
| |
| Fix e2image with large (> 32-bit) file systems (Addresses Debian Bug: |
| #703067) |
| |
| Enhance chattr to allow clearing the extent flag if the kernel allows |
| migrating extent based files to use indirect blocks. |
| |
| Update German translation. |
| |
| Updated/fixed various man pages. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #712429, |
| #712430, #707609) |
| |
| Fixed various Debian Packaging Issues (Addresses Debian Bug #708307) |
| |
| Programmer's Notes |
| ------------------ |
| |
| Use secure_getenv() in preference to __secure_getenv(). |
| |
| Optimize CPU utilization of ext2fs_bg_has_super(). |
| |
| Fix ext2fs_llseek() on 32-bit i386 systems to work correctly when |
| SEEK_CUR is used with large files. |
| |
| The ext2fs_read_inode_full() function will no longer use |
| fs->read_inode() if the caller has requested more than the base 128 |
| byte inode structure and the inode size is greater than 128 bytes. |
| |
| Fix build failure with --enable-jbd-debug. |
| |
| Clean up filtering of outputs for the regression tests by using a |
| common sed script. |
| |
| Fix gcc -Wall and clang nits. |
| |
| |
| E2fsprogs 1.42.7 (January 21, 2013) |
| =================================== |
| |
| Add warnings to mke2fs, resize2fs, and tune2fs that the bigalloc and |
| quota features are still under development. For more information |
| please see: |
| * https://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Bigalloc |
| * https://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Quota |
| |
| Add some new options to filefrag from Lustre's patches to e2fsprogs: |
| * add -k option to print extents in kB-sized units (like df -k) |
| * add -b {blocksize} to print extents in blocksize units |
| * add -e option to print extent format, even when FIBMAP is used |
| * add -X option to print extents in hexadecimal format |
| |
| Fix resize2fs so that it can handle off-line resizes of file systems |
| with the flex_bg feature but without a resize_inode (or if we run out |
| of reserved gdt blocks). This also fixes a problem where if the user |
| creates a filesystem with a restricted number of reserved gdt blocks, |
| an off-line resize which grows the file system could potentially |
| result in file system corruption. |
| |
| Fix a resize2fs bug which could cause it to corrupt bigalloc file |
| systems when doing an off-line resize. |
| |
| Further optimize resize2fs so it doesn't use quite as much CPU when |
| resizing very large file systems. |
| |
| Fixed 32-bit overflow bugs which could cause resize2fs to fail and |
| possibly corrupt the file system while resizing 64-bit file systems. |
| |
| Fix a bug in mke2fs where parsing "-E resize=NNN" will result in a |
| mke2fs crash due to a divide-by-zero if the 64bit file system feature |
| is enabled. |
| |
| Add better error checking to mke2fs to check for invalid parameters |
| when creating bigalloc file system. |
| |
| When creating bigalloc filesystems, the -g option to mke2fs will now |
| specify the number of clusters per block group. |
| |
| Add to debugfs the functionality to corrupt a specific file system |
| block via the "zap_block" command. |
| |
| Add to debugfs the functionality to print out a hex dump of a block in |
| the file system via the "block_dump" command. |
| |
| Add to debugfs the functionality to manipulate the extent tree |
| directly via the "extent_open" command. |
| |
| Fixed debugfs's mknod command so that it updates the block group |
| statistics. |
| |
| Fix e2fsck so it can detect and fix inconsistencies in the interior |
| nodes of an inode's extent tree. |
| |
| Fix a potential memory corruption failure in e2fsck's error path if |
| the call to ext2fs_open2() fails. |
| |
| Fix e2fsck if its logging function is enabled in e2fsck.conf, and the |
| resulting file name for the log file is longer than 100 bytes, that it |
| properly handles this situation instead of crashing. |
| |
| E2fsck will now report the amount of memory that it attempted to |
| allocate when a memory allocation request fails, to make it easier to |
| track down the problem. |
| |
| Fix mke2fs's handling of the mmp_update_interval option. (Addresses |
| Lustre Bug: LU-1888) |
| |
| E2image can now include all data blocks in the e2image output file |
| when the user specifies the -a option. |
| |
| If e2fsprogs is compiled without --enable-quota, make sure that |
| tune2fs can not turn on the feature for new-style quota support, since |
| afterwards, none of the e2fsprogs tools will be willing to touch that |
| file system. |
| |
| Optimize e2fsck's so that it uses much less CPU for large file |
| systems. This can result in significant speedups, especially on |
| CPU-constrained systems. This was primarily done by optimizing |
| libext2fs's bitmap functions. (Addresses Google Bug: #7534813) |
| |
| Fix debugfs's htree command so that all its messages are sent through |
| the pager. |
| |
| Fixed debugfs's "dump_file" and "cat" functions work correctly |
| on file systems whose block size is greater than 8k. |
| |
| Fix e2freefrag so it works on 64-bit file systems, and so it uses much |
| less memory. (Addresses Google Bug: 7269948) |
| |
| Update the spd_readdir.c file in the contrib directory to include some |
| additions which were made in 2008 that didn't get folded into the |
| version which we checked into the e2fsprogs source tree. These |
| enhancements include thread safety, support for readdir64_r(), and |
| safe_getenv() support in case spd_readdir.so is used for setuid binaries. |
| |
| Update Czech, Dutch, French, German, Polish, Sweedish, and Vietnamese |
| translations |
| |
| Add a command to debugfs to create symlinks. |
| |
| Document the bigalloc feature in the mke2fs man page. (Addresses |
| Debian Bug: #669730) |
| |
| |
| Programmer's Notes |
| ------------------ |
| |
| Fix gcc -Wall nits. |
| |
| Fix a spelling typo in the libext2fs texinfo documentation. |
| |
| Change the output from "make check" so that tools such as emacs's "M-x |
| compile" does not mistake the output as containing a compiler error. |
| |
| Export two new functions from libext2fs: ext2fs_extent_node_split() |
| and ext2fs_extent_goto2(). |
| |
| The ext2fs_extents_fix_parents() was fixed so it does not modify the |
| location of the extent handle if its current location is at an |
| interior node, rather than a leaf node of an inode's extent tree. |
| |
| Add a regression test to assure that e2fsck can correctly fix an |
| inconsistent interior node in an inode's extent tree. |
| |
| The ext2fs_{mark,unmark,test}_block_bitmap_range2() functions now |
| correctly support bigalloc file systems which use store block usage |
| information in units of clusters. |
| |
| Fixed the help text in the configure script for --enable-quota. |
| |
| The m68k-specific bitops code has been removed since they were |
| incorrectly treating bit numbers with the high bit set as signed |
| integers. Furthermore, modern compilers do a good enough job |
| optimizing the generic code there is no point in having the m68k |
| specific asm statements. |
| |
| Fixed how we link the test programs so they always use the static |
| libraries, so that we test using the libraries which we have just |
| built. |
| |
| Update config.guess and config.sub to the latest versions from the GNU |
| project. |
| |
| Fixed the com_err.texinfo file so that it can produce a valid |
| postscript/pdf printed output. |
| |
| Add a regression test which checks debugfs's ability to create |
| symlinks, named FIFO's, and device nodes. |
| |
| Add a function ext2fs_symlink(), which creates symlinks to the |
| libext2fs library. |
| |
| Add debugging code so we can test old kernel interfaces for online |
| resize to resize2fs. This backwards compatibility checking is keyed |
| off of the RESIZE2FS_KERNEL_VERSION, which is designed to allow us to |
| test the functionality of the kernel's older resize ioctls without |
| needing to install an old version of resize2fs, and to also test a |
| modern resize2fs's ability to work with older kernels without having |
| to install an older version of the kernel. |
| |
| |
| E2fsprogs 1.42.6 (September 21, 2012) |
| ===================================== |
| |
| When mke2fs creates file systems with lazy itable initialization, the |
| progress updates for writing the inode table happens so quickly that |
| on a serial console, the time to write the progress updates can be the |
| bottleneck. So mke2fs will now only update its progress indicators |
| once a second. |
| |
| Resize2fs will skip initializing the inode tables if the kernel |
| supports lazy_itable_init, which speeds up growing off-line growth of |
| uninit_bg file systems significantly. Resize2fs will now also |
| correctly set the itable_unused field in the block group descriptor to |
| speed up the first e2fsck after the file system is grown. |
| |
| Resize2fs has been fixed so that on-line resizing of meta_bg file |
| systems work correctly. This is needed to grow file system which are |
| larger than 16T. |
| |
| Resize2fs will now correctly handle resizing file systems to 16TB on |
| 32-bit file systems when "16TB" is specified on the command line. |
| |
| Fix mke2fs so that it will be careful to set the reserved blocks ratio |
| larger than 50%; this can happen when creating small file systems and |
| when the last block group is dropped because there are not enough |
| blocks to support the metadata blocks in the last block group. |
| |
| Fixed spelling mistake in debugfs's help message. |
| |
| Fixed a potential seg fault in e2fsck when there is an I/O error while |
| reading the superblock. |
| |
| Fixed various Debian Packaging Issues (Addresses Debian Bug #677497) |
| |
| Updated/fixed various man pages. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: |
| #3559210) |
| |
| Programmer's Notes |
| ------------------ |
| |
| The configure option --enable-relative-symlink was broken so that it |
| needed to be --enable-symlink-relative-symlinks. We will support both |
| for at least two years, but then the worng configure option will be |
| removed. |
| |
| Fixed a regression introduced in 1.42.5 so the link order for |
| e2fsprogs' libraries will be correct for both static and shared |
| linking. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #3554345) |
| |
| Add support for e2fsprogs to be compiled using clang/LLVM. |
| |
| Fix portability problems on non-Linux systems: avoid compile failures |
| on systems that don't have malloc.h |
| |
| Fix f_mmp regression test suite so that debugfs gets killed if the |
| test is interrupted. |
| |
| |
| |
| E2fsprogs 1.42.5 (July 29, 2012) |
| ================================ |
| |
| Fixed a bug with mke2fs where if there is only 8 inodes per block |
| group, the calculation of the number of uninitialized inodes in the |
| first block group would go negative. This resulted in "mke2fs -N 256 |
| -t ext4 /tmp/foo.img 256m" trying to write so many blocks that /tmp |
| would run out of space. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #3528892) |
| |
| Fixed a bug in how e2fsck would uniquify directory entry names. |
| (AddressesSourceforge Bug: #3540545) |
| |
| Previously, e2fsck would only allow a mounted file system to be |
| checked if it was the root file system and it was mounted read-only. |
| Now it will allow any file system mounted read-only to be checked if |
| the -f option is specified. This makes it easier to test how e2fsck |
| handles checking file systems which are mounted without having to test |
| on the root file system. |
| |
| Fixed a problem if e2fsck where if the root file system is mounted |
| read-only, e2fsck would not clear an error indication in the journal |
| superblock. Combined with a kernel bug, this would cause the e2fsck |
| to check the file system after every single boot. |
| |
| The e4defrag program can now handle device symlinks, such as |
| /dev/mapper/testvg-testlv, instead of insisting on a less |
| human-friendly name such as /dev/dm-2. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: |
| #707209) |
| |
| Fixed filefrag so it will not crash with a segfault on files from a |
| virtual file system such as /proc. (e.g., "filefrag |
| /proc/partitions") |
| |
| Fixed filefrag so that it correctly reports the number of extents. |
| (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: #840848) |
| |
| Fixed a file descriptor leak in logsave which could cause it to hang. |
| (Addresses Debian Bug: #682592) |
| |
| Fixed e2fsck so that the file system is marked as containing an error |
| if the user chooses not to fix the quota usage information. |
| |
| Fixed tune2fs so that it correctly removes the quota feature when the |
| last quota inode is removed. |
| |
| Fix tune2fs so that after removing a quota inode, the block bitmap is |
| updated; otherwise, e2fsck would complain after running 'tune2fs -O |
| ^quota <dev>'. |
| |
| Fix tune2fs so that when converting a file system from using legacy |
| quota files to the new quota file system feature with hidden quota |
| files, the accounting for these files is handled correctly so that |
| e2fsck doesn't complain. |
| |
| Improved e2fsck's verbose reporting statistics, and allow the more |
| verbose reporting to be enabled via /etc/e2fsck.conf. |
| |
| Fixed various Debian Packaging Issues (Addresses Debian Bug #678395) |
| |
| Updated/fixed various man pages. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #680114) |
| |
| |
| Programmer's Notes |
| ------------------ |
| |
| Fixed portability problems on other operating systems (e.g., Hurd and |
| FreeBsd) caused by the attempted inclusion of <sys/quota.h>. |
| |
| Make sure that shared libraries link with the shared libraries built |
| in the build tree, instead of the system provided libraries. |
| Previously, libraries and executables were linked with the system |
| libraries if present, and possibly using static archives instead of |
| shared libraries. This was also problematic since if libext2fs.so is |
| linked with a static libcom_err.a from system, the build system would |
| attempt to link without -lpthread. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: |
| #3542572) |
| |
| |
| E2fsprogs 1.42.4 (June 12, 2012) |
| ================================ |
| |
| Fixed more 64-bit block number bugs (which could end up corrupting |
| file systems!) in e2fsck, debugfs, and libext2fs. |
| |
| Fixed e2fsck's handling of the journal's s_errno field. E2fsck was |
| not properly propagating the journal's s_errno field to the superblock |
| field; it was not checking this field if the journal had already been |
| replayed, and if the journal *was* being replayed, the "error bit" |
| wasn't getting flushed out to disk. |
| |
| Fixed a false positive complaint by e2fsck if all of the extents in |
| the last extent tree block are uninitalized and located after the end |
| of the file as defined by i_size. |
| |
| The dumpe2fs will now display the journal's s_errno field if it is |
| non-zero, and it will also display the journal's 64-bit feature flag |
| if present. |
| |
| Fix e2fsck so that it always opens the device file in exclusive mode |
| when it might need to modify the file system, and never if the -n |
| option is specified. (Previously, there were a few corner cases where |
| it might get things wrong in either direction.) |
| |
| E2fsck now correctly truncates or deallocates extent-mapped inodes on |
| the orphan list. The root cause was a bug in libext2fs's block |
| iterator which could end up skipping an extent when the last block in |
| an extent is removed, causing the current extent to be removed from |
| the extent tree. |
| |
| E2fsck now correctly sets the global free block and inode counts when |
| truncating or removing inodes on the orphan list in preen mode. |
| Previously, it would leave these values would be set incorrectly, |
| which is largely a cosmetic issue since the kernel no longer pays |
| attention to those fields, but it can cause spurious complaints in |
| subsequent e2fsck runs. |
| |
| Fix i_blocks accounting when the libext2fs library needs to add or |
| remove an extent tree block on bigalloc file systems. |
| |
| The lsattr and chattr programs now support the No_COW flag for the |
| benefit of btrfs. |
| |
| Debugfs now interprets date strings of the form @ddd as ddd seconds |
| after the beginning of the epoch. This is handy when setting an inode |
| number into the d_time field when debugging orphan list handling. |
| |
| Fix a precedence bug with built-in quota support which might result in |
| e2fsck paying attention to the quota inode field even if the built-in |
| quota feature flag is not set. Fortunately, in practice that |
| superblock field should be zero for non-built-in quota file systems, |
| so it's unlikely this bug would have caused problems. |
| |
| Updated/fixed various man pages. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #674453, |
| #674694) |
| |
| Programmer's Notes |
| ------------------ |
| |
| The regression test suite can now run the integration tests in the |
| tests directory in parallel, via "make -jN check". |
| |
| Add new test, f_zero_extent_length which tests e2fsck's handling of |
| the case where all of the extents in the last extent tree block are |
| uninitialized extents after i_size. |
| |
| Add a new test, f_jnl_errno, which checks handling of an error |
| indication set in the journal superblock. |
| |
| Fix the test f_jnl_64bit so that it properly checks e2fsck's handling |
| of a 64-bit journal. |
| |
| Add two tests, f_orphan_indirect_inode and f_orphan_extent_inode which |
| tests e2fsck's handling of orphan inodes in preen mode, and truncation |
| of extent inodes on the orphan list. |
| |
| Fixed more OS X portability issues. |
| |
| |
| E2fsprogs 1.42.3 (May 14, 2012) |
| =============================== |
| |
| Fix a bug in the Unix I/O manager which could cause corruption of file |
| systems with more than 16TB when e2fsprogs is compiled in 32-bit mode |
| (i.e., when unsigned long is 32-bits). Also fix a bug which caused |
| dumpe2fs to incorrectly display block numbers > 32-bits. |
| |
| Improve the support for integrated quota files (where quota is a first |
| class supported feature using hidden files in the ext4 file system). |
| Previously the quota file was getting rewritten even when it was not |
| necessary, and e2fsck would erroneously try to hide quota files which |
| were already hidden. |
| |
| Quiet complaints in e2fsck when the total free blocks or inodes are |
| incorrect in the superblock after an system crash, since we don't |
| update nor depend on the superblock summaries at each commit boundary. |
| |
| Fixed a regression introduced in 1.42.2 which would cause applications |
| outside of e2fsprogs which did not pass the EXT2_FLAG_64BIT (and so |
| would were still using the legacy 32-bit bitmaps) to crash. This was |
| due to missing 32-bit compat code in side the function |
| ext2fs_find_first_zero_generic_bmap(). (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: |
| #808421) |
| |
| Fix a bug which would cause mke2fs to fail creating the journal if |
| /etc/mtab and /proc/mounts are missing. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: |
| #3509398) |
| |
| Updated/fixed various man pages. |
| |
| Update Czech, Dutch, French, German, Polish, Sweedish, and Vietnamese |
| translations |
| |
| Fixed various Debian Packaging issues. |
| |
| |
| Programmer's Notes |
| ------------------ |
| |
| Change the nonsensically wrong types in the function signature of the |
| inline function ext2fs_find_first_zero_block_bitmap2(). This was |
| caused by a cut and paste error; fortunately no code in e2fsprogs used |
| this inline function, and there are any users of this functions |
| outside of e2fsprogs. |
| |
| Add support for systems which have valloc(), but which do have |
| posix_memalign() nor memalign() (such as MacOS 10.5). |
| |
| Refactor and clean up the allocation of aligned buffers for Direct I/O |
| support. Previously some allocations were requesting a greater |
| alignment factor that what was strictly necessary. Also optimize |
| reading and writing bitmaps using Direct I/O when the size of the |
| bitmap did not fully cover the file system blocksize. |
| |
| Reserve the codepoints for the INCOMPAT features LARGEDATA and |
| INLINEDATA. |
| |
| Improved the regression test suite by adding some new integration |
| tests (f_jnl_32bit, f_jnl_64bit) which detect breakage of the on-disk |
| jbd2 format, as well as f_eofblocks which tests the new handling of |
| uninitialized and initialized blocks beyond i_size. Also add a new |
| unit test which verifies 32-bit bitmaps support and the new |
| find_first_zero primitives. |
| |
| Add a few dependencies to fix parallel (make -j) builds. |
| |
| Removed bash'isms which were breaking the regression test suite on |
| systems where /bin/sh is not bash. |
| |
| The config.guess and config.sub have been updated to the 2012-02-10 |
| version. |
| |
| Fix a portability problem caused by assuming the present of mntent.h |
| means that setmntent() exists. Instead, explicitly test for this in |
| the configure script. |
| |
| If the sys/signal.h header file does not exist, don't try to include |
| it, since it's not available on all systems. |
| |
| Add support for systems that do not support getpwuid_r() |
| |
| The configure script now supports a new option, |
| --enable-relative-symlinks, which will install relative symlinks for |
| the ELF shared library files. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #3520767). |
| |
| When building BSD shared libraries make sure the LDFLAGS variable is |
| passed to the linker. Fixing this allows, for example, e2fsprogs to |
| be built in 32-bit mode on Mac OS X Lion (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: |
| #3517272) |
| |
| Fix gcc -Wall nitpicks |
| |
| |
| E2fsprogs 1.42.2 (March 27, 2012) |
| ================================= |
| |
| The resize2fs program uses much less CPU and is much faster for very |
| large file systems. (Addresses Debian Bug: #663237) |
| |
| The seti and freei commands in debugfs can now take an optional length |
| argument to set and clear a contiguous range of inodes. |
| |
| E2fsck will now make explicit checks for the EOFBLOCKS_FL, since we |
| plan to remove support for it from the kernel file system driver. It |
| really wasn't very useful and was causing more problems than it |
| solves. Since e2fsck will complain if inodes that should have |
| EOFBLOCKS_FL do not have the flag set, we are going to remove this |
| check from e2fsprogs first, and then only remove the flag from the |
| kernel much later. |
| |
| The mke2fs program can now use direct I/O via "mke2fs -D". This will |
| slow down the mke2fs, but it makes it more polite on a loaded server |
| by limiting the amount of memory that gets dirtied by mke2fs when it |
| is using buffered I/O. |
| |
| E2fsck was needlessly closing and re-opening the file system as a side |
| effect of adding Multiple Mount Protection (MMP). This isn't |
| necessary for non-MMP file systems, so drop it. |
| |
| Print errors returned by ext2fs_open2() and ext2fs_check_desc() so we |
| can more easily diagnose memory allocation failures caused by |
| insufficient memory. E2fsck will now abort if there are memory |
| allocation failures when the file system is initially opened and |
| during the block group descriptor checks. (Addresses Google Bug: |
| #6208183) |
| |
| If there are incorrect block group checks, e2fsck will now report the |
| incorrect and corrected checksum values. |
| |
| The e2fsck progam can now write log files containing the details of |
| the problems that were found and fixed directly, via configuration |
| parameters in /etc/e2fsck.conf. |
| |
| Added the ability to limit the number of messages reported by e2fsck |
| for a given problem type. This avoids a potential bottleneck if there |
| is a serial console which can cause a boot sequence to take a long |
| time if e2fsck needs to report many, many file system errors. |
| |
| The dumpe2fs, debugfs, and tune2fs now use rbtree bitmaps, which cause |
| them to use much less memory for large file systems. |
| |
| The dumpe2fs program will now print the expected block group checksum |
| if it is incorrect. This helps to diagnose problems caused by |
| incorrect block group checksums. |
| |
| E2fsck now checks for extents with a zero length, since the kernel |
| will oops if it comes accross such a corrupted data structure. (See |
| https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42859) |
| |
| E2fsck has a number of bugs relating to discard that have been fixed. |
| (1) Fixed a bug which could cause e2fsck to discard portions of the |
| inode table which were actually in use. (2) E2fsck will now avoid |
| using discard if the block device doesn't zero data on discard, since |
| otherwise this could cause problems if the file system gets corrupted |
| in the future. (3) E2fsck will now avoid using discard when it is run |
| in read-only mode. (4) Fixed a bug which caused e2fsck to not issue |
| discards in the last block group. |
| |
| E2fsck's CPU utilization in pass 5 has been optimized, which will |
| speed up e2fsck slightly. |
| |
| E2image will now skip copying uninitialized bitmap and inode table |
| blocks. |
| |
| Fixed mke2fs -S so it does not corrupt the first block group's |
| information. |
| |
| E2fsck will now check the new sysfs interface to determine if we are |
| using the battery or AC mains. (Addresses SourceForge Bug: #3439277) |
| |
| Updated/fixed various man pages. (Addresses Debian Bug: #665427) |
| |
| Fixed various Debian Packaging issues. (Addresses Debian Bug: #665885) |
| |
| Programmer's Notes |
| ------------------ |
| |
| Fixed various portability issues for non-Linux systems, particularly |
| MacOS X, as well as Linux systems running with the just-released glibc |
| 2.15. |
| |
| Fix file descriptor leak in ext2fs_close() if the file system with |
| uninit_bg is opened read/only with a backup superblock. (Addresses |
| SourceForge Bug: #3444351) |
| |
| Fixed an invalid return in a non-void function in the quota code. |
| (Addresses SourceForge Bug: #3468423) |
| |
| Fixed the debian rules file so that the calls to dpkg-buildflags works |
| when the shell is dash. |
| |
| The debian package build now uses V=1 so that there is more |
| information about potential build failures in debian buildd logs. |
| |
| If the uninit flags get cleared by functions such as |
| ext2fs_new_inode() or ext2fs_new_block2(), we now make sure the |
| superblock is marked dirty and the block group descriptor checksum is |
| updated if necessary. |
| |
| The debian rules file will now try to load debian/rules.custom of it |
| exists. This flie can skip various builds for speed reasons if there |
| is no need for the e2fsck-static or udeb packages. Available |
| customizations in the rules file includes SKIP_STATIC=yes, |
| SKIP_BF=yes, and SKIP_DIETLIBC=yes. |
| |
| In addition, if the file misc/mke2fs.conf.custom.in exists in the |
| source tree, it will be used instead of the standard misc.conf file in |
| the upstream sources. This makes it easier for Debian-derived systems |
| to distribute a custom mke2fs.conf file without having to worry about |
| merge issues if future versions of e2fsprogs makes changes in the |
| upstream default version of mke2fs.conf. |
| |
| |
| E2fsprogs 1.42.1 (February 17, 2012) |
| =================================== |
| |
| The mke2fs and e2fsck now use significantly less memory when creating |
| or checking very large file systems. This was enabled by adding |
| extent-based bitmaps which are stored using a red-block tree, since |
| block and inode allocations tend to be contiguous. |
| |
| The command mke2fs -S is used as a last ditch recovery command to |
| write new superblock and block group descriptors, but _not_ to destroy |
| the inode table in hopes of recovering from a badly corrupted file |
| system. So if the uninit_bg feature is enabled, mke2fs -S will now |
| set the unused inodes count field to zero. Otherwise, e2fsck -fy |
| after using mke2fs -S would leave the file system completely empty. |
| |
| Since mke2fs recognizes mke3fs in argv[0] to mean "mkfs.ext3", also |
| honor "mke4fs" to work the same as "mke2fs.ext4", since RHEL5 has |
| installed an mke2fs binary using that name. |
| |
| The usage and help messages for the -G, -t and -T options in mke2fs |
| have been fixed. |
| |
| If e2fsck needs to use the backup group descriptors, the |
| ext2fs_open2() function clears the UNINIT bits to ensure all of the |
| inodes in the file systems get scanned. However, the code which reset |
| the UNINIT flags did not also recalculate the checksum, which produced |
| many spurious (and scary) e2fsck messages. This has been fixed by |
| resetting cheksums when the UNINIT bits are cleared. |
| |
| Relax a check in e2fsck which required that the block bitmap to be |
| initialized when the inode bitmap is in use. This will allow us to |
| eventually eliminate code from the kernel which forcibly initialized |
| the block bitmap when the inode bitmap is first used, requiring an |
| extra journal credit and disk write. (Addresses Google Bug: #5944440) |
| |
| Make sure rdebugfs (which may be installed setuid or setgid disk) does |
| not honor environment variables if euid != uid or egid != gid. |
| |
| Debugfs's ncheck command has been optimized and now is much more |
| robust with faced with corrupted file systems. The ncheck command |
| also now has a -c option which will verify the file type information |
| in the directory entry to see if matches the inode's mode bits. This |
| is extremely useful when trying to use debugsfs to determine which |
| parts of the file system metadata can be trusted. |
| |
| E2image will try to use ftruncate64() to set the i_size for raw |
| images, instead of writing a single null byte. This avoid allocating |
| an extra block to the raw image, for those file systems and/or |
| operating systems that support this. (Linux does.) In addition, fix |
| a logic bug that caused the file to not be properly extended if the |
| size of the last hole was exactly an multiple of a megabyte. |
| |
| Fixed a bug in resize2fs where for 1k and 2k file systems, where |
| s_first_data_block is non-zero, this wasn't taken into account when |
| calculate the minimum file system size for use with the -M option. |
| |
| Fixed the badblocks program to honor the -s flag when in read-only -t |
| mode. (Addresses Debian Bug #646629) |
| |
| Update Czech, Dutch, French, Polish, and Sweedish translation from the |
| Translation Project. |
| |
| Fixed various Debian Packaging issues so that dpkg-buildflags is used |
| if present, which allows e2fsprogs to be built with security hardening |
| flags. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #654457) |
| |
| Programmer's Notes |
| ------------------ |
| |
| Fix a bug in ext2fs_clear_generic_bmap() when used for 32-bit bitmaps. |
| This was only an issue for programs compiled against e2fsprogs 1.41 |
| that manipulate bitmaps directly. (Addresses Sourceforge Bugs: |
| #3451486) |
| |
| The libext2fs library now uses sysconf() to fetch the page size, instead |
| of the deprecated getpagesize(). |
| |
| The ext2fs_get_pathname() function will return a partial path if an a |
| directory in the path is not a directory, displaying it as an inode |
| number in angle brackets instead of giving up and displaying an error. |
| This is much more helpful when a user is trying to debug a corrupted |
| file system. |
| |
| Codepoints for the RO_COMPAT_REPLICA feature has been reserved. |
| |
| Added a new library function, ext2fs_file_get_inode_num(), for use by |
| fuse2fs. |
| |
| Fixed a bug in ext2fs_file_set_size2() so that when it is truncating a |
| file, it actually works. |
| |
| The block iterator now properly honors the BLOCK_ABORT flag for |
| extent-based flags. Previously, it didn't, which generally made code |
| be less efficient, but it could cause bugs in ext2fs_link(), for |
| example, by causing it to insert multiple directory entries. |
| |
| Fixed an (harmless other than causing a compiler warning) use of an |
| uninitialized variable in e2fsck's MMP code. |
| |
| |
| E2fsprogs 1.42 (November 29, 2011) |
| ================================== |
| |
| This release of e2fsprogs has support for file systems > 16TB. Online |
| resize requires kernel support which will hopefully be in Linux |
| version 3.2. Offline support is not yet available for > 16TB file |
| systems, but will be coming. |
| |
| This release of e2fsprogs has support for clustered allocation. This |
| reduces the number of block (now cluster) bitmaps by allocating and |
| deallocating space in contiguous power-of-2 collections of blocks, |
| which are called clustered. This is a file system level feature, |
| called 'bigalloc', which must be enabled when the file system is |
| initially formatted. It is not backwards compatible with older |
| kernels. |
| |
| Added support for the Multi-Mount Protection (MMP) feature. |
| |
| E2fsck more efficiently uses scratch files for really big file |
| systems. (This is a feature that has to be turned on explicitly; see |
| [scratch_files] in the e2fsck.conf man page.) |
| |
| Fix a bug in e2fsck where if the free blocks and inodes counts are |
| incorrect, e2fsck would fix them without printing an error message. |
| This would cause a "*** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED ***" message without |
| any explanation of what was fixed. |
| |
| E2fsck will no longer attempt to clone an extended attribute block in |
| pass1b handling if the file system does not support extended |
| attributes. |
| |
| E2fsck will be more careful accidentally asking the user to continue |
| if the file system is mounted, so that an escape sequence won't cause |
| a false positive. (Addresses Debian Bug: #619859) |
| |
| E2fsck now uses less cpu time in pass 5 when large portions of the |
| bitmaps are uninitialized. |
| |
| E2fsck will no longer segault when a corrupted file system has a bad |
| extent, and removing it leads to a block needing to be deallocated. |
| (Addresses SourceForge Bug: #2971800) |
| |
| E2fsck will catch termination signals (segfaults, bus errors, sigfpe) |
| and print debugging information to make it easier to find potential |
| problems. |
| |
| E2fsck will check to see if the bad block inode looks insane, and will |
| skip trying to use if it certain fields which should be zero look |
| non-zero. This is to avoid a corrupted bad block inode causing e2fsck |
| to get confused and do more harm than good. |
| |
| If e2fsck modifies certain superblock fields which the kernel doesn't |
| look at, it will now mark the superblock as dirty without marking the |
| file system as changed. This avoids signalling the init scripts that |
| a reboot is necessary, since the kernel isn't going to look at those |
| fields, so it won't care if they have been changed. |
| |
| Fixed a bug in the libext2fs library (in the binary search routine of |
| the icount abstraction) that could (very, very rarely) cause e2fsck to |
| die in the middle of pass 1 or pass 2 processing. |
| |
| E2fsck will not try to do a discard operation if the -n option was |
| specified on the command line. |
| |
| E2fsck now supports an extended "discard" option which will cause |
| e2fsck to attempt discard all unused blocks after a full, successful |
| file system check. |
| |
| E2fsck will check for the bad block inode to make sure it looks sane |
| before trusting it, to avoid causing more harm than good to the file |
| system. |
| |
| E2fsck now returns additional status bits in its exit code if it |
| aborts early in the e2fsck run. |
| |
| E2fsck now correctly calculates the maximum file size in the case of |
| the huge_file file system feature enabled without extents. |
| |
| The mke2fs and e2fsck programs now tries to use the punch hole command |
| as a "discard" when operating on normal files. |
| |
| The e2image program now supports the qcow2 format, which is a more |
| efficient way of capturing file system dumps. |
| |
| Mke2fs now supports the [devices] stanza in mke2fs.conf which allows |
| per-device defaults to be specified in the configuration file. |
| |
| Mke2fs now supports the reserved_ratio relation in the [defaults] and |
| [fs_types] section in mke2fs.conf. |
| |
| Mke2fs now creates extent-mapped directories for the root and |
| lost+found directories. |
| |
| Mke2fs will skip zero'ing the journal if the extended option |
| "lazy_journal_init" is specified. This can save a lot of time, but it |
| does add a small amount of risk if the system crashes before the |
| journal is overwritten entirely once. It is epsecially useful for |
| testing. |
| |
| Mke2fs will now create file systems that enable user namespace |
| extended attributes and with time- and mount count-based file |
| system checks disabled. |
| |
| Mke2fs will not set a stride or strip size of one block based on block |
| device attributes obtained from sysfs. |
| |
| Mke2fs now displays a progress report during the discard process. |
| |
| Mke2fs now handles extreme file system parameters correctly which |
| previously caused the inodes per group to drop below 8, leading to a |
| segfault. (The inodes per group must be a multiple of 8, but the code |
| didn't correctly deal with an inodes per group count less than 8.) |
| |
| Mke2fs and tune2fs previously would give an error if the user tried |
| setting the stride and stripe-width parameters to zero; but this is |
| necessary to disable the stride and stripe-width settings. So allow |
| setting these superblock fields to zero. (Addresses Google Bug: |
| #4988557) |
| |
| Mke2fs now gives a warning if the auto-detected block size exceeds the |
| system's page size. |
| |
| If the enable_periodic_fsck option is false in /etc/mke2fs.conf (which |
| is the default), mke2fs will now set the s_max_mnt_count superblock |
| field to -1, instead of 0. Kernels older then 3.0 will print a |
| spurious message on each mount then they see a s_max_mnt_count set to |
| 0, which will annoy users. (Addresses Debian Bug: #632637) |
| |
| The default mke2fs.conf now has entries for "big" and "huge", which |
| are needed for very big file systems. |
| |
| The resize2fs program now has support for a new online resize ioctl |
| that can support file systems > 16TB, once it arrives in v3.x kernels. |
| |
| Fixed bug which caused resize2fs to fail when shrinking an empty file |
| system down to its minimal size. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug #3404051) |
| |
| Fixed tune2fs's mount options parsing. (Addresses Debian Bug: #641667) |
| |
| Allow tune2fs to remove external journals if the device can not be |
| found. |
| |
| Debugfs's icheck will now correctly find inodes which use the |
| searched-for block as an extended attribute block. |
| |
| Debugfs now has a new "punch" command which remove blocks from the |
| middle of an inode. |
| |
| Debugfs now has a new "e2freefrag" command which analyzes the free |
| space fragmentation of the file system, using the same code as the |
| e2freefrag program. |
| |
| Debugfs now has a "filefrag" command which displays information about |
| a file's fragmentation. |
| |
| Add support to build a metadata-only, read-only, stripped-down version |
| of debugfs called rdebugfs. |
| |
| Fixed a potential stack overrun bug in debugfs. |
| |
| The badblocks program now correctly recovers from I/O errors when |
| direct I/O is being used. The badblocks command now also supports a |
| -B option which forces the use of buffered I/O, and the -v option will |
| provide a more detailed breakdown of read, write, and failed |
| comparison errors. |
| |
| Added e4defrag tool which uses the EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT ioctl. |
| |
| Added support for journals larger than 2GB. |
| |
| Support using both hard links and symlinks when installing e2fsprogs. |
| |
| Add overflow checking to tune2fs -i's fsck interval, which must fit in |
| a 32-bit field. |
| |
| The debugfs command now has a new 'blocks' command which prints out |
| data blocks of a particular inode in a format which is useful for |
| scripting. |
| |
| Filefrag will report 0 extents correctly in verbose mode. (Addresses |
| RedHat Bugzilla: #653234) |
| |
| Filefrag has been fixed so its -v report prints the correct expected |
| block number (previously there had been an off-by-one error). In |
| addition, it will now display the number of contiguous extents when -v |
| is not specified. This makes it consistent with the number of extents |
| printed when the -v option was specified. In addition, the number of |
| contiguous extents is far more interesting/useful than the number of |
| physical extents for very large files. (Addresses Debian Bug: |
| #631498, #644792) |
| |
| Logsave's usage message has been fixed. (Addresses Debian Bug: |
| #619788) |
| |
| Avoid an infinite loop in ext2fs_find_block_device() if there are |
| symlink loops in /dev caused by a buggy udev. |
| |
| Added a useful "fallocate" program to the contrib directory. |
| |
| Fixed an ABI compatibility problem in libext2fs which broke the dump |
| program. Also added back some macros which dump needed so it could |
| compile against the latest version of ext2_fs.h (Addresses Debian Bug: |
| #636418) |
| |
| Fixed parsing of MNTOPT_ options for tune2fs and debugfs (Addresses |
| Debian Bug: #641667) |
| |
| Added internationalization support for libcom_err error table strings. |
| |
| Fixed various spelling mistakes found in various output strings found |
| by I18N translators. |
| |
| Update translations: French, Chinese, Germany, Indonesian, Swedish, |
| Vietnamese, Polish, Dutch, Czech. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #520985, |
| #620659) |

| Programmer's Notes |
| ------------------ |
| |
| Initial support for quota as an integrated feature, where the quota |
| files are hidden system files that are automatically maintained by |
| e2fsck is present, although disabled by default. It must be enabled |
| by using the configure option --enable-quota. |
| |
| Reserved the on-disk fields for the metadata checksum and snapshot |
| features, which are currently in development. |
| |
| The ext2fs library now has the new functions ext2fs_punch(), |
| ext2fs_get_memzero() and ext2fs_file_get_inode(). |
| |
| The ext2fs library now has support for calculating the crc32c checksum |
| (via the new functions ext2fs_crc32c_be and ext2fs_crc32c_le). |
| |
| The I/O manager now supports the discard operation. |
| |
| Reserved file system code points for new 1st class quota feature. |
| |
| Shortened the compilation lines by moving the autoconf defines to |
| a config.h header file. |
| |
| Fixed a potential free of an unitialized pointer in |
| ext2fs_update_bb_inode(). |
| |
| Fixed miscellaneous gcc -Wall and coverity warnings. |
| |
| Fixed portability issues for Mac OS X, Hurd, and FreeBSD. |
| |
| Fixed a build failure when OMIT_COM_ERR is defined. |
| |
| Improved error checking and fixed memory leaks caused by error return |
| paths. |
| |
| Add ext2fs_flush2() and ext2fs_close2() which takes a flag to allow |
| the fsync() to be skipped. |
| |
| Added a test for extent-mapped journals by mke2fs and tune2fs. |
| |
| Added a test for creating a large (over 4GB) journal using mke2fs. |
| |
| Added a test to make sure the inode size remains constant. |
| |
| The regression test script now prints the list of which tests failed. |
| |
| The regression test system now uses /tmp for its scratch files, which |
| is often a tmpfs mounted file system and hence much faster. |
| |
| The i_e2image test was fixed so it works with valgrind. |
| |
| Tests that rely on debugfs are now skipped if debugfs wasn't built. |
| |
| Fixed the dependencies for "make check" so all required dependencies |
| are built before running the gression tests. |
| |
| A link to com_err.h is installed in $(includedir) during a "make install". |
| |
| The po/*.gmo files are automatically rebuilt if they are missing or |
| out of date. This helps out Debian packaging. |
| |
| Allow ext2fs_get_memalign() to compile on systems that don't have |
| posix_memalign(). |
| |
| Fixed a namespace leak in libext2fs (tdb_null). |
| |
| |
| E2fsprogs 1.41.14 (December 22, 2010) |
| ===================================== |
| |
| Fix spurious complaint in mke2fs where it would complain if the file |
| system type "default" is not defined in mke2fs.conf. |
| |
| The resize2fs program will no longer clear the resize_inode feature |
| when the number reserved group descriptor blocks reaches zero. This |
| allows for subsequent shrinks of the file system to work cleanly for |
| flex_bg file systems. |
| |
| The resize2fs program now handles devices which are exactly 16T; |
| previously it would give an error saying that the file system was too |
| big. |
| |
| E2fsck (and the libext2fs library) will not use the extended rec_len |
| encoding for file systems whose block size is less than 64k, for |
| consistency with the kernel. |
| |
| Programming notes |
| ----------------- |
| |
| E2fsprogs 1.41.13 would not compile on big-endian systems. This has |
| been fixed. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #3138115) |
| |
| The ext2fs_block_iterator2() function passed an incorrect ref_offset |
| to its callback function in the case of sparse files. (Addresses |
| Sourceforge Bug: #3081087) |
| |
| Fix some type-punning warnings generated by newer versions of gcc. |
| |
| |
| E2fsprogs 1.41.13 (December 13, 2010) |
| ===================================== |
| |
| E2fsck now supports the extended option "-E journal_only", which |
| causes it to only do a journal replay. This is useful for scripts |
| that want to first replay the journal and then check to see if it |
| contains errors. |
| |
| E2fsck will now support UUID= and LABEL= specifiers for the -j option |
| (which specifies where to find the external journal). (Addresses |
| Debian Bug #559315) |
| |
| E2fsck now has support for the problems/<problem code>/force_no |
| configuration option in e2fsck.conf, which forces a problem to not be |
| fixed. |
| |
| Dumpe2fs will now avoid printing large negative offsets for the bitmap |
| blocks and instead print a message which is a bit more helpful for |
| flex_bg file systems. |
| |
| Mke2fs will now check the file system type (specified with the -t |
| option) to make sure it is defined in the mke2fs.conf file; if it is |
| not, it will print an error and abort. If the usage type (specified |
| with the -T option) is not defined in mke2fs.conf, mke2fs will print a |
| warning but will continue. (Addresses Debian Bug #594609) |
| |
| Clarified error message from resize2fs clarifying that on-line |
| shrinking is not supported at all. (Addresses Debian Bug #599786) |
| |
| Fix an e2fsck bug that could cause a PROGRAMMING BUG error to be |
| displayed. (Addresses Debian Bug #555456) |
| |
| E2fsck will open the external journal in exclusive mode, to prevent |
| the journal from getting truncated while it is in use due to a user |
| accidentally trying to run e2fsck on a snapshotted file system volume. |
| (Addresses Debian Bug #587531) |
| |
| Fix a bug in e2fsck so it has the correct test for the EOFBLOCKS_FL |
| flag. |
| |
| The tune2fs program can now set the uninit_bg feature without |
| requiring an fsck. |
| |
| The tune2fs, dumpe2fs, and debugfs programs now support the new ext4 |
| default mount options settings which were added in 2.6.35. |
| |
| The e2fsck and dumpe2fs programs now support the new ext4 superblock |
| fields which track where and when the first and most recent file |
| system errors occurred. These fields are displayed by dumpe2fs and |
| cleared by e2fsck. These new superblock fields were added in 2.6.36. |
| |
| Debugfs now uses a more concicse format for listing extents in its |
| stat command. This format also includes the interior extent tree |
| blocks, which previously was missing from stat's output for |
| extent-based files. |
| |
| Debugfs has a new option, -D, which will request Direct I/O access of |
| the file system. |
| |
| Mke2fs will skip initializing the inode table if a device supports |
| discard and the discard operation will result in zero'ed blocks. |
| |
| Badblocks will now correctly backspace over UTF-8 characters when |
| displaying its progress bar. (Addresses Gentoo Bug #309909; Addresses |
| Debian Bugs #583782 and #587834) |
| |
| E2freefrag will now display the total number of free extents. |
| |
| Resize2fs -P no longer requires a freshly checked filesystem before |
| printing the minimum resize size. |
| |
| Fixed a floating point precision error in a binary tree search routine |
| that can lead to seg fault in e2fsck and resize2fs. |
| |
| Fixed a bug in e2fsck where if both the original and backup superblock |
| are invalid in some way, e2fsck will fail going back to the original |
| superblock because it didn't close the backup superblock first, and |
| the exclusive open prevented the file system from being reopened. |
| |
| Fixed a big in e2freefrag which caused getopt parsing to fail on |
| architectures with unsigned chars. (Addresses Gentoo Bug: #299386) |
| |
| Clarified an mke2fs error message so a missed common in an -E option |
| (i.e., mke2fs -t ext4 -E stride=128 stripe-width=512 /dev/sda1") |
| results in a more understandable explanation to the user. |
| |
| Mke2fs now displays the correct valid inode ratio range when |
| complaining about an invalid inode ratio specified by the user. |
| |
| Mke2fs now understands the extended option "discard" and "nodiscard", |
| and the older option -K is deprecated. The default of whether |
| discards are enabled by default can be controled by the mke2fs.conf |
| file. |
| |
| Mke2fs's handling of logical and physical sector sizes has been |
| improved to reflect the fact that there will be some SSD's with 8k and |
| 16k physical sectors arriving soon. Mke2fs will no longer force block |
| size to be the physical sector size, since there will be devices where |
| the physical sector size is larger than the system's page size, and |
| hence larger than the maximal supported block size. In addition, if |
| the minimal and optimal io size are not exported by the device, and |
| the physical sector size is larger than the block size, the physical |
| sector size will be used to set the Raid I/O optimization hints in the |
| superblock. |
| |
| E2fsck will now display a better, more specific error message when the |
| user enters a typo'ed device name, instead of blathering on about |
| alternate superblocks. |
| |
| Fixed various Debian Packaging Issues |
| |
| Updated/clarified man pages (Addresses Debian Bugs: #580236, #594004, |
| #589345, #591083; Addresses Launchpad Bug: #505719) |
| |
| Update the Chinese, Chzech, Dutch, French, Germany, Indonesian, |
| Polish, Swedish, and Vietnamese translations. |
| |
| |
| Programmer's Notes |
| ------------------ |
| |
| Fix a dependency definition for the static and profiled blkid |
| libraries which could cause compile failures in some configurations. |
| (Addresses Debian Bug: #604629) |
| |
| Add support for Direct I/O in the Unix I/O access layer. |
| |
| Fixed a memory leak in the Unix I/O layer when changing block sizes. |
| |
| Fixed minor memory leaks in mke2fs. |
| |
| Added a new function to the ext2fs library, ext2fs_get_memalign(). |
| |
| The tst_super_size test program will check to make sure the superblock |
| fields are correctly aligned and will print them out so they can be |
| manually checked for correctness. |
| |
| Fixed some makefile dependencies for test programs in lib/ext2fs. |
| |
| Reserved the feature flags and superblock fields needed for the Next3 |
| snapshot feature. |
| |
| Reserved the feature flags for EXT4_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_DIRDATA and |
| EXT4_INCOMPAT_EA_INODE. |
| |
| |
| E2fsprogs 1.41.12 (May 17, 2010) |
| ================================ |
| |
| Mke2fs now gives a correct error message if the external journal |
| device is not found. (Addresses Red Hat Bug #572935) |
| |
| Resize2fs -P will now refuse to print a minimum size if the file |
| system is not clean. Previously it would go ahead and print a minimum |
| size anyway, which might not be correct, leading to user confusion. |
| |
| E2fsck now tests for extents that begin at physical block 0 and |
| rejects them as invalid. (Addresses Google Bug: #2573806) |
| |
| Fixed a bug in e2fsck which could cause it to crash when trying to |
| remove an invalid extent and the block bitmaps hadn't yet been loaded. |
| (Addresses SourceForge Bug: #2971800) |
| |
| E2fsck now will completely skip time-based checks if the system clock |
| looks insane or the option broken_system_clock is set in |
| /etc/e2fsck.conf. |
| |
| E2fsck would previously report an i_blocks corruption for a 4T file |
| created using posix_fallocate; this bug has been fixed. |
| |
| E2fsck will now correctly mark a sparse journal as invalid and will |
| delete and recreate the journal to address the problem. |
| |
| E2fsck would previously incorrectly ask the user whether she would |
| like to abort the file system check after finding a problem --- and |
| then abort regardless of the user's answer. This is annoying, and |
| has been fixed. |
| |
| E2fsck can now continue even if it fails to recreate the resize |
| inode; previously it would just abort the file system check |
| altogether. |
| |
| E2fsck could potentially remove directory entries for inodes found in |
| the unused region of the inode table; this would generally happen on |
| ext4 file systems that do not use journaling. This bug has been fixed |
| by not clearing these directory entries once it has been established |
| that bg_unused_inodes may not be trustworthy; once pass #2 has been |
| completed, e2fsck will restart the file system check from the |
| beginning, and then it will be safe to delete any directory entries |
| pointing to inodes that appear to be deleted. (Addresses Google Bug: |
| #2642165) |
| |
| E2fsck will not try to set the block group checksums if the user |
| cancels the fsck with a control-C. It's a bad idea to set the |
| checksums if e2fsck hasn't been completed, and it often results an the |
| error message, "Inode bitmap not loaded while setting block group |
| checksum info". (Addresses Launchpad Bug: #582035) |
| |
| The mke2fs program now queries the kernel for the physical as well as |
| the logical sector size, and will not allow a blocksize below the |
| logical, and will strongly encourage a blocksize at least as big as |
| the physical blocksize. This is needed for 4k sector drives that |
| emulate 512 byte sector sizes. |
| |
| Mke2fs will now allow a flex_bg size of 1. This is unusual, and |
| rarely needed, but it is a legal value. |
| |
| E2fsck will check for cases where the EOFBLOCKS_FL is set when it is |
| not needed, and offer to clear it; this is a sign of a kernel bug, but |
| more importantly, some released kernels may crash when this situation |
| is encountered on ext4 file systems. (Addresses Google Bug: #2604224) |
| |
| E2fsck will use the EOFBLOCKS_FL flag exclusively to check whether |
| i_size is correct. (Kernels starting with 2.6.34 will set |
| EOFBLOCKS_FL.) |
| |
| The com_err library will now only output ^M (a CR character) when the |
| tty is in raw mode. |
| |
| Update the Czech, Chinese, Dutch, French, Germany, Indonesian, Polish, |
| and Vietnamese translations. |
| |
| Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for |
| details. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #571247, #563487) |
| |
| |
| Programmer's Notes |
| ------------------ |
| |
| The regression test suite now uses its own mke2fs.conf file, so that |
| downstream distributions want change the mke2fs.conf file which is |
| distributed in the RPM or dpkg file, without worrying about screwing |
| up the regression test results. |
| |
| Always build namei.o so that building with configure --disable-debugfs |
| works correctly. Long-term, if we care about reduced e2fsprogs |
| builds, we need a more general solution for deciding what .o files are |
| needed for a particular build. Given that install floppies are going |
| (gone?) the way the dodo bird, we probably don't care, though. |
| (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #2911433) |
| |
| Add configure options --enable-symlink-build and |
| --enable-symlink-install, which allow e2fsprogs be built using |
| symlinks instad of hard links, and to be installed using symlinks |
| instead of hard links, respectively. It is useful when the file |
| system where the build is taking place, or the file system where |
| e2fsprogs is installed, can't handle hard links for some reason. |
| (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1436294) |
| |
| Fixed compile warning in mke2fs.c. |
| |
| |
| E2fsprogs 1.41.11 (March 14, 2010) |
| ================================== |
| |
| E2fsck will no longer give a fatal error and abort if the physical |
| device has been resized beyond 2**32 blocks. (Addresses Launchpad |
| Bug: #521648) |
| |
| Debugfs has a bug fixed so that "logdump -b <blk>" now properly shows |
| the allocation status of the block <blk>. (Addresses Debian Bug: |
| #564084) |
| |
| E2fsck now prints a much more emphatic and hopefully scary message |
| when a file system is detected as mounted while doing a read/write |
| check of the filesystem. Hopefully this will dissuade users from |
| thinking, "surely that message doesn't apply to *me*" :-( |
| |
| E2fsck -n will now always open the file system read-only. We now |
| disallow certain combination of options which previously were manual |
| exceptions; this is bad because it causes users to think they are |
| smarter than they really are. So "-n -c", "-n -l", "-n -L", and "-n |
| -D" are no longer supported. (Addresses Launchpad Bug: #537483) |
| |
| In e2fsprogs 1.41.10, mke2fs would ask for confirmation to proceed if |
| it detected a badly aligned partition. Unfortunately, this broke some |
| distribution installation scripts, so it now just prints the warning |
| message and proceeds. (Addresses Red Hat Bug: #569021. Addresses |
| Launchpad Bug: #530071) |
| |
| Mke2fs would take a long time to create very large journal files for |
| ext4. This was caused by a bug in ext2fs_block_iterate2(), which is |
| now fixed. |
| |
| E2fsck now understands the EOFBLOCKS_FL flag which will be used in |
| 2.6.34 kernels to make e2fsck not complain about blocks deliberately |
| fallocated() beyond an inode's i_size. |
| |
| E2fsprogs 1.41.10 introduced a regression (in commit b71e018) where |
| e2fsck -fD can corrupt non-indexed directories when are exists one or |
| more file names which alphabetically sort before ".". This can happen |
| with ext2 filesystems or for small directories (take less than a lock) |
| which contain filenames that begin with a space or some other |
| punctuation mark. (Addresses Debian Bug: #573923, Addresses Launchpad |
| Bug: #525114) |
| |
| |
| Programmer's Notes |
| ------------------ |
| |
| Add new test, f_rehash_dir, which checks to make sure e2fsck -D works |
| correctly. |
| |
| The libcom_err function now has support for Heimdal's com_right_r |
| function(). (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #2963865, Addresses Debian |
| Bug: #558910) |
| |
| |
| E2fsprogs 1.41.10 (February 7, 2010) |
| ==================================== |
| |
| Fix resize2fs bug which causes it to access invalid memory. |
| |
| Add libss support for libreadline.so.6. |
| |
| Fix e2fsck's check for extent-mapped directory with an incorrect file |
| type. |
| |
| Add new e2fsck.conf configuration option, default/broken_system_clock |
| to support systems with broken CMOS hardware clocks. Also, since too |
| many distributions seem to have broken virtualization scripts now, |
| e2fsck will by default accept dates which are off by up to 24 hours by |
| default. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #559776, #557636) |
| |
| Fix a bug where mke2fs may not use the best placement of the inode |
| table when there is only room for a single block group in the last |
| flex_bg. |
| |
| E2fsck is now smarter when it needs to allocate blocks in the course |
| of fixing file system problems. This reduces the number of spurious |
| differences found in pass #5. |
| |
| E2fsck will no longer rehash directories which fit in a single |
| directory block. |
| |
| E2fsck now correctly handles holes in extent-mapped directories (i.e., |
| sparse directories which use extents). |
| |
| Fix big-endian problems with ext2fs_bmap() and ext2fs_bmap2(). |
| |
| Fix a bug in filefrag where on platforms which can allow file systems |
| with 8k blocks, that it doesn't core dump when it sees a file system |
| with 8k block sizes. (Thanks to Mikulas Patocka for pointing this |
| out.) |
| |
| E2fsck will correctly fix directories that are have an inaccurate |
| i_size as well as other problems in a single pass, instead of |
| requiring two e2fsck runs before the file system is fully fixed. |
| |
| Fix e2fsck so it will correctly find and detect duplicate directory |
| entries for non-indexed directories. ( Addresses Sourceforge Bug: |
| #2862551) |
| |
| Mke2fs will use BLKDISCARD to pre-discard all blocks on an SSD or |
| thinly-provisioned storage device. This can be disabled using the -K |
| option. |
| |
| Enhance libext2fs so it works around bug in Linux version 2.6.19 |
| and earlier where the /proc/swaps file was missing the header on |
| the first line. |
| |
| Fix bug in Linux version 2.6.19 and earlier where the /proc/swaps file |
| was missing the header on the first line. |
| |
| Fix some big-endian bugs in e2fsck and libext2fs. |
| |
| Fix resize2fs so it works correctly on file systems with external |
| journals instead of failing early with the error "Illegal inode |
| number". |
| |
| Fix libss so that it does not seg fault when using a readline library |
| which does not supply a readline_shutdown() function. |
| |
| Updated dumpe2fs's usage message so it correctly gives the right |
| arguments summary for "-o superblock=<num>" and "-o blocksize=<num>". |
| (Addresses Launchpad Bug: #448099) |
| |
| Teach libext2fs to ignore the high 32 bits of the i_blocks field |
| when huge_file file system feature is set, but the inode does not |
| have the HUGE_FILE_FL flag set. |
| |
| Fix e2fsck's handling of 64-bit i_blocks fields. |
| |
| E2fsck will now print "Illegal indirect block", "Illegal |
| double-indirect block", etc., instead of "Illegal block #-1" or |
| "Illegal block #-2", etc. This makes it easier for users to |
| understand what has gone wrong. (Addresses SourceForge Bug: #2871782) |
| |
| Mke2fs now will obtain get device topology information from blkid and |
| use it to populate the superblock stride and stripe sizes. It will |
| also warn if the block device is misaligned |
| |
| Fix file descriptor leaks in fsck and debugfs. (Addresses Novell Bug: |
| ##524526) |
| |
| Fix the libext2fs library code to round up the bitmap size to a 4-byte |
| boundary, to prevent spurious seg faults caused by the x86 |
| architecture. This doesn't affect Linux systems, but was a major |
| problem on a number of *BSD systems. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: |
| #2328708) |
| |
| Fix resize2fs's minimum size required for a file system so it doesn't |
| fail when "resize2fs -M" is run. (Addresses RedHat Bugzilla: #519131) |
| |
| Dumpe2fs now prints summary information about the contents of the |
| journal. |
| |
| Avoid printing scary error messages when e2fsck starts running |
| problems on low-memory systems, as it tends to panic and mislead the |
| user. (Addresses Debian Bug: #509529) |
| |
| Fix blkid's modules.dep parser so it handles compressed (.ko.gz) |
| modules files. (Address Red Hat Bug: #518572) |
| |
| Fix tune2fs so it can add a journal when an extent-enabled file system |
| is mounted. (Addresses Launchpad bug: #416648) |
| |
| Update Czech, Indonesian, Polish and Vietnamese translations (from the |
| Translation Project). |
| |
| Update/clarify man pages. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #2822186) |
| |
| Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for |
| details. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #540111) |
| |
| Programmer's Notes |
| ------------------ |
| |
| The configure script supports the --with-cc, --with-ccopts, and |
| --with-ldopts options. Instead, the more standard use of CC=, |
| CCFLAGS=, and LDFLAGS= in the configure command line is used instead. |
| Also, --with-ld, which never worked, was also removed. |
| (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #2843248) |
| |
| The in-tree header files are only used if the in-tree uuid or blkid |
| libraries are used. Otherwise, use the system-provided uuid or blkid |
| header files if using the system-provided libraries. |
| |
| Fix some build failures caused by --disable-* configure options. |
| |
| Work around a bug in autoconf 2.64. |
| |
| |
| E2fsprogs 1.41.9 (August 22, 2009) |
| ================================== |
| |
| Fix a bug in e2fsck routines for reallocating an inode table which |
| could cause it to loop forever on an ext4 filesystem with the FLEX_BG |
| filesystem feature with a relatively rare (and specific) filesystem |
| corruption. This fix causes e2fsck to try to find space for a new |
| portion of the inode table in the containing flex_bg, and if that |
| fails, the new portion of the inode table will be allocated in any |
| free space available in the filesystem. |
| |
| Make e2fsck less annoying by only asking for permission to relocate a |
| block group's inode table once, instead of for every overlapping |
| block. Similarly, only ask once to recompute the block group |
| checksums, instead of once for each corrupted block group's checksum. |
| |
| Fix filefrag to avoid print the extent header if the FIEMAP ioctl is |
| not present, and it needs to fall back to using the FIBMAP ioctl. |
| |
| Fix filefrag to correctly print the number of extents for zero-length |
| files. (Addresses Debian Bug: #540376) |
| |
| Filefrag now has a -B option which forces the use of the FIBMAP ioctl |
| to more easily debug the FIBMAP code. |
| |
| Fixed filefrag for non-extent based files. |
| |
| Add a new program, e2freefrag, which displays information about the |
| free space fragmentation in an ext2/3/4 filesystem. |
| |
| Fix inode resizing via tune2fs -I so that it works correctly in the |
| face of non-empty bad blocks inodes, and if the filesystem was |
| formatted using the "mke2fs -E stride=N" option for RAID arrays. |
| |
| Fix regression in ext2fs_extent_set_bmap() caused e2fsck -fD to fail |
| and corrupt large directories if the directory needs to shrink by more |
| than one block. (Addresses Debian Bug: #537510) |
| |
| Fix e2fsck's buggy_init_scritps=1 so that the if the last write and/or |
| last mount times are in the future, they are corrected even if |
| buggy_init_scripts is set. This is needed because otherwise resize2fs |
| will refuse to resize the filesystem, even after running "e2fsck -f". |
| (Addresses Launchpad bug: #373409) |
| |
| E2fsck will now print much fuller information when the last mount time |
| or last written time is in the future, since most people can't seem to |
| believe their distribution has buggy init scripts, or they have a |
| failed CMOS/RTS clock battery. |
| |
| Enhance dumpe2fs to dump the extent information via the 'stat' |
| command, and more detailed extent information via the new command |
| 'dump_extents'. |
| |
| Update French, Polish, Czech, and Sweedish translation from the |
| Translation Project. |
| |
| Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for |
| details. |
| |
| Programmer's Notes |
| ------------------ |
| |
| Fixed miscellaneous gcc -Wall warnings. |
| |
| Fixed memory leak in error path in ext2fs_block_iterate2() |
| |
| Fixed non-Linux build of the intl directory by adding support for the |
| E/Q/V macros. |
| |
| The bitmap read/write functions now treat uninitialized bitmaps as |
| unallocated; this fixes a number of problems in all e2fsprogs for ext4 |
| filesystems when there is a need to allocate new blocks or inodes, and |
| there aren't any free blocks or inodes in the already-used block |
| groups. |
| |
| Improve ext2fs_extent_set_bmap() to avoid creating new extents which |
| get inserted into the extent tree when they are not needed. |
| |
| |
| E2fsprogs 1.41.8 (July 11, 2009) |
| ================================ |
| |
| Fix resize2fs's online resizing, fixing a regression which in |
| e2fpsrogs 1.41.7. (Addresses Debian Bug: #535452) |
| |
| Fix potential filesystem corruptions caused by using resize2fs to |
| shrinking ext4 filesystems with extents enabled. (Addresses Red Hat |
| Bug: #510379) |
| |
| Optimize uuid_generate() to avoid running uuidd if it is not setuid or |
| setgid and the currently running program doesn't have write access to |
| the uuidd work directory. |
| |
| Add safety checks (for non-Linux systems) so that uuidd isn't run with |
| file descriptors 0, 1, and 2 closed; and if they are closed, uuidd |
| will be careful not to close the file descriptor for its unix domain |
| socket when it detaches itself from the controlling tty. Also add |
| safety checks so that if the unix domain socket between the uuid |
| library and uuidd program is closed for any reason, both the library |
| and the uuidd will return an appropriate error code instead of looping |
| in an infinite loop. |
| |
| The e2croncheck script, which creates an LVM snapshot and then checks |
| the ext3/4 filesystem via the LVM snapshot, has been added to the |
| contrib directory. |
| |
| Fix filefrag program for files that have more than 144 extents. |
| |
| Update French, Polish, Czech, Indonsian, and Sweedish translation from |
| the Translation Project. |
| |
| Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for |
| details. (Addresses Debian Bug #535530) |
| |
| Update/clarify man pages. |
| |
| Programmer's Notes |
| ------------------ |
| |
| Fix compilation problem when configured with --disable-uuid. |
| |
| Don't build uuidgen if configured with --disable-uuid. |
| |
| Add the new library function ext2fs_test_inode_bitmap_range(), and |
| optimized ext2fs_test_block_bitmap_range(), which will be needed for |
| future optimizations for e2fsck. |
| |
| Fix makefile dependencies for libcom_err so that the Makefiles work |
| well on non-GNU make program. (Addresses Sourceforge Patches: #2813809) |
| |
| Enhance the build system so that the full set of commands executed by |
| the Makefiles are displayed, instead of the Linux kernel summary |
| output, if the build was configured with --enable-verbose-makecmds, or |
| if GNU make is in use and the V variable is non-null, i.e., via "make |
| V=1". |
| |
| |
| E2fsprogs 1.41.7 (June 29, 2009) |
| ================================ |
| |
| Fix a bug in libext2fs which can cause e2fsck and resize2fs to write |
| uninitalized data into the portion of the inode beyond the first 128 |
| bytes when operating on inodes mapped via extents; potentially |
| corrupting filesystems. |
| |
| Fix memory leaks in e2fsprogs, including a very large memory leak |
| which can cause e2fsck to run out of memory when checking very large |
| filesystems using extents. |
| |
| The logsave program will now filter out the ^A and ^B characters when |
| writing to the console. |
| |
| Harden ext2fs_validate_entry() so that lsdel will not read beyond the |
| end of the block even if the directory block is corrupted. |
| |
| Fix debugfs from core dumping if the logdump command fails to open the |
| output file. |
| |
| Enhance badblocks to print the currently tested block number when |
| interrupted with ^C. |
| |
| Fix lsattr to exit with a non-zero status when it encounters errors. |
| (Addresses RedHat Bugzilla #489841) |
| |
| Fix e2fsprogs to use the same encoding for rec_len in 64k (and larger) |
| filesystems as the kernel when encoding rec_len >= 64k. For 64k |
| filesystems (currently all that is supported by e2fsprogs, this is |
| only a minor corner case). |
| |
| Resize2fs will now update the journal backup fileds in the sup0erblock |
| if the journal is moved; this avoids an unnecessary full fsck after |
| resizing the filesystem. (Addresses RedHat Bugzilla: #505339) |
| |
| Fix libext2fs to properly initialize i_extra_size when creating the |
| journal and resize inodes. |
| |
| Change badblocks to allow block sizes larger than 4k. |
| |
| Fix filefrag progam so it correctly checks for errors from the fiemap ioctl. |
| |
| Update Chinese and Czech translation from the Translation Project. |
| |
| Clean up various man pages. (Addresses Debian Bug #531385 and #523063) |
| |
| |
| Programmer's Notes |
| ------------------ |
| |
| Add --disable-libuuid option to configure which uses an in-system |
| installed version of libuuid; the private version is enabled by |
| default. |
| |
| Add --valgrind-leakcheck option to the test_script program which runs |
| valgrind with the appropriate options to find memory leaks. |
| |
| |
| E2fsprogs 1.41.6 (May 30, 2009) |
| =============================== |
| |
| Fix a critical regression in e2fsck introduced version 1.41.5 which |
| can undo updates to the block group descriptors after a journal replay. |
| |
| If e2fsck receives an I/O error while replaying the journal, prompt |
| the user whether they want to ignore the error or not; if e2fsck is |
| run in preen mode, force fsck to abort the preen pass. |
| |
| Fix a bug which would cause e2fsck to core dump if the filesystem |
| contains a corrupt extent header, and the user declines to clear the |
| inode. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #2791794) |
| |
| Fix e2fsck to restart only once in the case of multiple block groups |
| which inodes in use that are in the uninitialized part of the block |
| group's inode table. |
| |
| To reduce user confusion, if the /etc/mtab file is missing |
| ext2fs_check_mount_point and ext2fs_check_if_mounted will return a |
| new, explicit error code to indicate this case. This will cause |
| e2fsck to give a clearer error message when the user is using buggy |
| rescue CD's that don't properly set up /etc/mtab. (Addresses Debian |
| Bug: #527859) |
| |
| Fix e2fsck so that if the primary group descriptors are corrupted, but |
| the backup superblock is entirely invalid, to go back to using (and |
| fixing) the priary group descriptors instead of completely giving up |
| on the filesystem. (Addresses Debian Bug: #516820) |
| |
| Change e2fsck to not abort a preen pass if an inode is found to have |
| i_file_acl_hi non-zero. Ext3 filesystems don't care, and newer |
| kernels (post 2.6.29) will ignore this field. So let's fix it |
| automatically during the preen pass instead of forcing the user to fix |
| this up manually. (Addresses Debian Bug: #526524) |
| |
| Add resource tracking for e2fsck passes 1b through 1d. |
| |
| Speed up e2fsck by eliminating unnecessary journal checks if the |
| filesystem is already mounted and doesn't need recovery (since the |
| kernel would have run the journal when the filesystem was mounted.) |
| Also speed up e2fsck by avoiding unnecessary block group descriptor |
| updates in ext2fs_close(). |
| |
| Add support to chattr to migrate inodes from using direct/indirect |
| blocks to extents. |
| |
| Avoid corrupting the filesystem if there is an attempt to shrink a |
| filesystem using resize2fs smaller than posible by making |
| ext2fs_set_bmap() more careful not to delete the old block until the |
| new block can be inserted. In addition, fix a bug in how the minimum |
| size of the filesystem (plus a safety margin) is calculated, and |
| modify resize2fs to refuse to shrink the filesystem below that minimum |
| size without the force flag. |
| |
| Teach blkid to try to figure out DM device names using take advantage |
| of information in sysfs when running on kernels (2.6.29 and later) |
| which provide this information in /sys/block/dm-<N>/dm/name; this is |
| much faster than scanning for the devncie number in /dev/mapper. |
| |
| Fix blkid to prefer /dev/mapper/<name> device names instad of the |
| private /dev/dm-X names. |
| |
| Add an -a option to debugfs's close_filesys command which writes any |
| changes to the superblock or block group descriptors to all of the |
| backup superblock locations. |
| |
| Add support to the filefrag program to use the FIEMAP ioctl. |
| |
| Update Chinese translation from the Translation Project. |
| |
| Clean up various man pages. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: #502971 and |
| Launchpad Bug: #381854) |
| |
| Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for |
| details. (Addresses Debian Bug #506064) |
| |
| |
| Programmer's Notes |
| ------------------ |
| |
| Add test code to make sure e2fsck's problem.c doesn't have two problem |
| codes assigned to duplicate values. |
| |
| Avoid using a hard-coded path for /bin/rm in block's test_probe.in. |
| (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #2780205) |
| |
| Clean up e2fsck by removing #ifdef RESOURCE_TRACK by adding an empty |
| function declaration for init_resource_track() and |
| print_resource_track() when RESOURCE_TRACK is not defined. |
| |
| The test code which is used to build the tst_csum progam has been |
| moved from from tst_csum.c into csum.c under an #ifdef DEBUG to to |
| avoid compile problems caused by not having a prototype for |
| ext2fs_group_desc_csum(). (Addresses Sourceforge Bug #2484331) |
| |
| Update the config.guess and config.sub file to the latest from the |
| FSF, to allow e2fsprogs to build on the avr32 platform. (Addresses |
| Debian Bug: #528330) |
| |
| Add a new function, ext2fs_extent_open2(), which behaves like |
| pext2fs_extent_open(), but uses the user-supplied inode structure |
| when opening an extent instead of reading the inode from disk. |
| |
| |
| E2fsprogs 1.41.5 (April 23, 2009) |
| ================================= |
| |
| Fix a number of filesystem corruption bugs in resize2fs when growing |
| or shrinking ext4 filesystems off-line (i.e., when the ext4 filesystem |
| is not mounted). |
| |
| Debugfs can now set i_file_acl_high via the set_inodes_field command, |
| and print a 64-bit file acl. This is useful for debugging filesystem |
| corruptions where the high bits of i_file_acl_high are set. E2fsck |
| will detect and fix non-zero i_file_acl_high on 32-bit filesystems |
| since some Linux kernel versions pay attention to this field even when |
| they shouldn't. |
| |
| Speed up e2fsck when checking clean filesystems by avoiding |
| unnecessary block reads, and coalescing the block group descriptor |
| blocks so they are read using a single read operation. |
| |
| The libuuid library will now close all file descriptors before running |
| uuidd. This avoids problems when the calling program has open sockets |
| which then never get closed because uuidd is a long-running helper |
| daeomn. (Addresses Launchpad bug: #305057) |
| |
| In order to avoid unnecessary full filesystem checks by e2fsck after |
| an on-line resize, e2fsck will ignore the NEEDS_RECOVERY flag set on |
| the backup superblocks. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: #471925) |
| |
| Mke2fs will avoid trying to create the journal when run in |
| superblock-only mode (mke2fs -S), since the left-over journal in the |
| inode table will cause mke2fs to fail. |
| |
| Fix a bug in libext2fs functions that check to see if a particular |
| device or filesystem image is mounted, which would cause these |
| functions to report that a file identical to the (relative) pathname |
| used by a pseudo-filesystem was mounted when in fact it was not. |
| |
| Update Czech translation from the Translation Project. |
| |
| Add Chinese (simplified) translation from the Translation Project. |
| |
| Fix support for external journals (which was broken in e2fsprogs |
| 1.41.4). |
| |
| Fix a regression in debugfs where the "stat" command when no |
| filesystem was open would cause debugfs to crash with a segmentation |
| violation. |
| |
| Starting in the 2.6.29 linux kernel, the ext4 filesystem driver can be |
| used to support filesystems without a journal. Update the blkid |
| library so it understands this. |
| |
| The blkid library will remove an entry from the blkid cache |
| representing the entire disk if partitions are found, since presuambly |
| the device previously had no partition table, but has now transitioned |
| to using a partition table. |
| |
| Add a check to mke2fs and tune2fs that the argument to the -m option |
| (which specifies the reserved ratio) must be greater than zero. |
| (Addresses Debian Bug: #517015) |
| |
| Add support for tracking the number kilobytes written to the |
| filesystem via the superblock field s_kbytes_written. It will be |
| updated by the kernel as well as by e2fsprogs programs which write to |
| the filesystem. This is useful for tracking the wear to filesystems |
| on Solid Sstate Drives. |
| |
| Fix compatibility issue in the libext2fs info file and makeinfo |
| version 4.12. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: #481620) |
| |
| Update/clarify man pages. (Addresses Debian Bug: #515693, #365619) |
| |
| Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for |
| details. (Addresses Debian Bug: #506279) |
| |
| Programmer's Notes |
| ------------------ |
| |
| Fix Hurd compilation problem in e2fsck and tune2fs (Addresses Debian |
| Bug: #521602) |
| |
| Fix various gcc compilation warnings and other programming cleanups. |
| (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: #486997) |
| |
| Add support for building the blkid command statically. |
| |
| Add support for disabling the built-in blkid library in favor of a |
| system-installed blkid implementation via the configure option |
| --disable-libblkid. |
| |
| |
| E2fsprogs 1.41.4 (January 27, 2009) |
| =================================== |
| |
| Fixed a bug which could sometimes cause blkid to return an exit value |
| of zero for a non-existent device (Addresses Debian Bug: #502541) |
| |
| Blkid will now recognize ext3 filesystems that have the test_fs flag |
| set as ext3 filesystems. |
| |
| The blkid library will now recognize btrfs filesystems and swap |
| devices currently used by user-level software suspend. |
| |
| Tune2fs now updates the block group checksums when changing the UUID |
| to avoid causing e2fsck to complain vociferously at the next reboot. |
| |
| Tune2fs's inode size resizing algorithms have been fixed so it is not |
| vastly inefficient for moderate-to-large filesystems, due to some |
| O(n**2) and O(n*m) algorithms that didn't scale well at all. |
| |
| Fix tune2fs's inode resizing algorithm so it will not corrupt |
| filesystems laid out for RAID filesystems; in addition, tune2fs will |
| refuse to change the inode size for filesystems that have the flex_bg |
| feature enabled. (This is a limitation in the current implementation |
| of tune2fs -I.) |
| |
| E2fsprogs 1.41 broke debugfs's logdump command for normal ext3/4 |
| filesystems with 32-bit block numbers, when the headers for 64-bit |
| block numbers was added. This regression has been fixed. |
| |
| Debugfs's ncheck command has been fixed to avoid printing garbage |
| characters at the end of file names. |
| |
| Fix resize2fs for ext4 filesystems. Some blocks that that need moving |
| when shrinking filesystems with uninit_bg feature would not be moved. |
| In addition, blocks and inode table blocks were not being correctly |
| freed when shrinking filesystems with the flex_bg feable, which caused |
| resize2fs -M to fail. Finally, when blocks are moved, make sure the |
| uninitialized flag in extents is preserved. |
| |
| Fix bug which caused dumpe2fs to abort with an error if run on a |
| filesystem that contained an external journal. |
| |
| Some distributions used "mke3fs" as an alias for "mkfs.ext3"; check |
| for this in argv[0] to provide better legacy support for these |
| distributions. This is a practice that should NOT be continued, |
| however. |
| |
| Mke2fs now has a new option -U, which allows the user to specify the |
| UUID that should be used for the new filesystem. |
| |
| Mke2fs will treat devices that are exactly 16TB as if they were 16TB |
| minus one block. This allows users who have read that ext3 supports |
| up to 16TB filesystems and who create a 16TB LVM to not get confused, |
| since the true limit is really 16TB minus one block. |
| |
| E2fsck will no longer abort an fsck run if block group has an errant |
| INODE_UNINIT flag. |
| |
| E2fsck now distinguishes between fragmented directories and fragmented |
| files in verbose mode statistics and in the fragcheck report. |
| |
| Fix a bug in e2fsck which casued it double count non-contiguous |
| extent-based inodes. |
| |
| E2fsck will leave some slack space when repacking directories to allow |
| room for a few directory entries to be added without causing leaf |
| nodes to be split right away. |
| |
| Fix a bug which caused e2fsck to crash when it comes across a |
| corrupted interior node in an extent tree with the error message: |
| "Error1: Corrupt extent header on inode XXXXXX" |
| |
| E2fsck problem descriptions involving the journal are no longer |
| referred to as "ext3" problems, since ext4 filesystems also have |
| journals. |
| |
| Fix a long-standing bug in e2fsck which would cause it to crash when |
| replying journals for filesystems with block sizes greater than 8k. |
| |
| Update Catalan translation from the Translation Project. |
| |
| Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for |
| details. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #503057, #502323, #511207) |
| |
| Programmer's Notes |
| ------------------ |
| |
| Fix build of e2fsck.profiled, and add support for building profiled |
| binaries in the misc directory if configured with --enable-profile. |
| |
| The ext2fs_open() function now performs more sanity checks on the |
| superblock to avoid potential divide by zero errors by other parts of |
| library. |
| |
| The ext2fs_read_inode_full() function now has a safety check to avoid |
| a segmentation fault on corrupted filesystems. |
| |
| The ext2fs_new_inode() function now has a sanity check so that if the |
| s_first_inode field in the superblock is insane, it will return |
| EXT2_ET_INODE_ALLOC_FAIL instead of returning an invalid inode number. |
| |
| To avoid segmentation faults, ext2fs_block_alloc_stats() and |
| ext2fs_inode_alloc_stats() now validates the passed inode or block |
| number to avoid overrunning an array boundary. |
| |
| Various signed/unsigned errors for variables containing block numbers |
| have been fixed. |
| |
| Accomodations for gcc's stupidity in not realizing that constant |
| strings that do not contain a '%' character are safe to use in format |
| strings have been made so that distributions that want to compile |
| e2fsprogs with -Werror=format-security have an easier time doing so. |
| |
| Added a new 64-bit getsize interface, ext2fs_get_device_size2(). |
| |
| Added the utility make-sparse.c to the contrib directory. |
| |
| The ext2fs_block_iterate2() function now reflects errors from |
| ext2fs_extent_set_bmap() to the caller, if the callback tries to |
| change a block on an extent-based file, and ext2fs_extent_set_bmap() |
| fails for some reason (for example, there isn't enough disk space to |
| split a node and expand the extent tree. |
| |
| The ext2fs_block_iterate2() function will preserve the uninit flag in |
| extents when the callback function modifies a block in an extent-based |
| file. |
| |
| E2fsck will now flag filesystems that have an insane s_first_ino field |
| in their superblock, and attempt to use a backup superblock to repair |
| the filesystem. |
| |
| |
| E2fsprogs 1.41.3 (October 12, 2008) |
| =================================== |
| |
| E2fsck has been fixed so it prints the correct inode number for |
| uinit_bg related problems. |
| |
| E2fsck will now offer to clear the test_fs flag if the ext4 filesystem |
| is available on linux. This can be disabled via a configuration |
| option in /etc/e2fsck.conf. |
| |
| Fix a file descriptor leak in libblkid when checking to see if an ext4 |
| or ext4dev module exists. |
| |
| Fix a bug in e2fsck where in preen mode, if there are disk I/O errors |
| while trying to close a filesystem can lead to infinite loops. |
| (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla #465679) |
| |
| Fix a bug in resize2fs where passing in a bogus new size of 0 blocks |
| will cause resize2fs to drop into an infinite loop. (Addresses Red |
| Hat Bugzilla: #465984) |
| |
| Add a check in the Unix I/O functions in libext2fs so that when a |
| device is opened read/write, return an error if the device is |
| read-only using the BLKROGET ioctl. |
| |
| Fix debugfs's ncheck command so that it prints all of the names of |
| hardlinks in the same directory. |
| |
| Fix a bug in libblkid so it correctly detects whether the ext4 and |
| ext4dev filesystems are available, so that the ext4dev->ext4 |
| fallback code works correctly. |
| |
| Programmer's Notes |
| ------------------ |
| |
| Fix a parallel build problem by making sure util/subst is built before |
| trying to build the lib/et directory. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: |
| #2143281) |
| |
| Updated "make depend" information for crc16.o |
| |
| |
| E2fsprogs 1.41.2 (October 2, 2008) |
| ================================== |
| |
| Fix e2fsck's automatic blocksize detection. This fixes a regression |
| from e2fsprogs 1.40.7 which caused e2fsck to fail if the user |
| specifies a block number using the -b option if the blocksize option |
| isn't also specified using -B. Unfortunately, users very commonly |
| invoke e2fsck using "e2fsck -b 32768 /dev/hdXXX" to use the backup |
| superblock; in fack e2fsck will often suggest this kind of command |
| line. Oops. |
| |
| Enhance the debugfs's "ncheck" command so it will print all of the |
| pathnames for the specified inodes. (Previously, in some cases ncheck |
| might not print a pathname for an inode at all if some of the other |
| inodes had multiple hard links.) |
| |
| Enhance debugfs's "hash" command so the hash seed can be specified via |
| a command-line option. In addition, allow the hash algorithm to be |
| specified by name instead of just by number. |
| |
| Fix e2fsck so that we don't accidentally print the translation file's |
| header when asking the user a custom question so there is no prompt |
| defined for a particular problem record. For example, the question |
| "Run journal anyway" will get the PO header tacked on because e2fsck |
| erroneously passed the null string to _(). (Addresses Launchpad Bug: |
| #246892) |
| |
| Enhance badblocks so that it can test a normal file which is greater |
| than 2GB. |
| |
| Enhance the badblocks command so that it displays the time and |
| percentage complete when in verbose mode. (Addresses Debian Bug: |
| #429739) |
| |
| Fix a potential memory leak in a error handling path in debugfs's |
| ncheck function. |
| |
| Fix a potential memory corruption problem if a memory allocation fails |
| in resize2fs. |
| |
| Fix the usage message for debugfs's logdump command to be consistent |
| with its man manpage. |
| |
| Update Polish, French, Vietnamese, Dutch, Indonesian, German, Czech, |
| and Sweedish translation from the Translation Project. |
| |
| Add documentation for the file I/O functions to the libext2fs.texinfo |
| file. (Addresses Debian Bug: #484877) |
| |
| Update and clarified various man pages. (Addresses Launchpad Bug |
| #275272; Addresses Debian Bugs: #498100, #498101, #498102, #498103) |
| |
| Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for |
| details. (Addresses Debian Bug: #497619) |
| |
| Programmer's Notes |
| ------------------ |
| |
| Fix a potential file descriptor leack in libcom_err by setting the |
| close-on-exec flag for a fd used for debugging. (Addresses Red Hat |
| Bugzilla #464689) |
| |
| Fix a potential race in libcom_err by using sem_post/sem_init. SuSE |
| has been carrying a patch for a long time to prevent a largely |
| theoretical race condition if a multi-threaded application adds and |
| removes error tables in multiple threads. Unfortunately SuSE's |
| approach breaks compatibility by forcing applications to link and |
| compile with the -pthread option; using pthread mutexes has |
| historically been problematic. We fix this by using sem_post/sem_init |
| instead. |
| |
| Fix e2fsprogs-libs build failure due to 'subs' target. (Addresses |
| Sourceforge Bug: #2087502) |
| |
| Avoid linking e2initrd_helper, debugfs, blkid, and fsck with unneeded |
| libraries when using ELF shared libraries. |
| |
| Fix ELF shared library when building on systems that don't already |
| have the e2fsprogs shared libraries already installed. (Addresses |
| Sourceforge Bug: #2088537) |
| |
| Fix the pkg-config files so they work correctly when linking with |
| static libraries and fix the include directory so programs don't have |
| to use #include <ext2fs/ext2fs.h>, but can use #include <ext2fs.h> |
| instead. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #2089537) |
| |
| Make sure ext2fs_swab64() is compiled for all platforms, and not just |
| for x86. (Addresses Debian Bug: #497515) |
| |
| Remove the unused ext2fs_find_{first,ext}_bit_set() functions for all |
| non-x86 platforms. (They had been removed for x86 earlier.) |
| |
| Fix diet libc compilation support, which had bitrotted due to lack of |
| TLC. Fixing this improves general portability. |
| |
| When installing the link library when using ELF shared libraries, |
| avoid using absolute pathnames if the link library and the shared |
| library are installed in the same directory. (Addresses Sourceforge |
| Bug: #1782913) |
| |
| Fix gen-tarball so it will work even if the top-level directory has |
| been renamed to something other than "e2fsprogs". Also make |
| gen-tarball print the size of the resulting tar.gz file. |
| |
| |
| E2fsprogs 1.41.1 (September 1, 2008) |
| ==================================== |
| |
| Many people are forgetting to update their mke2fs.conf file, and this |
| causes ext3, ext4, and ext4dev filesystems won't get created with the |
| proper features enabled. We address this in two ways. First, mke2fs |
| will issue a warning if there is not definition for an ext3, ext4, or |
| ext4dev filesystem and the user is trying to create such a filesystem |
| type. Secondly, when installing from a source build, "make install" |
| will provide basic configuration file handling for /etc/mke2fs.conf. |
| If it exists, and does not mention ext4dev, it will be moved aside to |
| /etc/mke2fs.conf.e2fpsrogs-old and the new /etc/mke2fs.conf file will |
| be installed. If the existing /etc/mke2fs.conf file does mention |
| ext4dev, then "make install" will install official mke2fs.conf file as |
| /etc/mke2fs.conf.e2fsprogs-new and issue a message to the user that |
| they should look to see if any changes need to be merged. |
| |
| The mke2fs program will now create the journal in the middle of the |
| filesystem, since this minimizes seek times on average for fsync-heavy |
| workloads. In addition, mke2fs will now create journals using extents |
| for filesystems that support them. This results in a more efficient |
| encoding for the journal since it eliminates the need for using |
| indirect blocks. |
| |
| The mke2fs program will avoid allocating an extra block to the |
| journal. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1483791) |
| |
| Mke2fs will correctly enforce the prohibition against features |
| (specifically read-only features) in revision 0 filesystems. (Thanks |
| to Benno Schulenberg for noticing this problem.) |
| |
| Mke2fs previously would occasionaly create some slightly non-optimally |
| placed inode tables; this bug has been fixed. |
| |
| The mke2fs and tune2fs programs now print the correct usage message |
| describing the maximum journal size. (Addresses Debian Bug: #491620) |
| |
| Add support for setting the default hash algorithm used in b-tree |
| directories in tune2fs (from a command-line option) or mke2fs (via |
| mke2fs.conf). In addition, change the default hash algorithm to |
| half_md4, since it is faster and better. |
| |
| The blkid library will now recognize MacOS hfsx filesystems, and |
| correctly extract the label and uuid for hfs, hfsx, and hfsplus |
| filesystems. (Addresses Sourceforge Feature Requests: #2060292) |
| |
| The blkid library has improved detection of JFS and HPFS filesystems. |
| (Addresses Launchpad Bug: #255255) |
| |
| The blkid library is now much more efficiently handling devicemapper |
| devices, mainly by no longer using the devicemapper library. This can |
| speed up access for systems with a large number of device mapper |
| devices. |
| |
| Blkid had a number of cache validation bugs in libblkid that have been |
| fixed. (Addresses Debian Bug: #493216) |
| |
| Resize2fs will now properly close out the "updating inode references" |
| progress bar so there is a newline printed before printing the final |
| "resize is successful" message. |
| |
| Resize2fs will now correctly handle filesystems with extents and/o |
| uninitialized block groups correctly when file/directory blocks need |
| to relocated (i.e., when shrinking a filesystem or if the resize_inode |
| is not present). To support this, the ext2fs library now supports |
| initializing inode and block bitmaps that are not yet initialized when |
| allocating them using ext2fs_new_block() and ext2fs_new_inode(). In |
| addition, e2fs_block_iterate2() can now support changing the location |
| of interior nodes of an extent tree, and ext2fs_extent_set_bmap() has |
| been optimized to avoid creating unnecessary new extents when updating |
| the location of blocks in the extent tree. This will also help out |
| e2fsck's recovery of obscurely corrupted filesystems with extents, |
| when blocks are claimed by multiple inodes. |
| |
| Add support for on-line resizing ext4 filesystem with the flex_bg |
| filesystem feature. The method for doing so is not optimal, but to do |
| a better job will require kernel support. |
| |
| E2fsprogs 1.41.0 intrduced a bug in libext2fs which casued e2image and |
| debugfs programs to not be able to read e2image files; the signed |
| vs. unsigned bug in the code which read bitmaps from the e2image has |
| been fixed. (Addresses Debian Bug: #495830) |
| |
| Resize2fs is now correctly managing the directory in-use counts when |
| shrinking filesystems and directory inodes needed to be moved from one |
| block group to another. This bug has been around since e2fsprogs |
| 1.26, and is largely harmless, but does cause a filesystem corruption |
| which will be flagged by e2fsck after the filesystem has been shrunk. |
| |
| E2fsck will no longer issue spurious complaints about the inode size |
| caused by very large extent-based files, and by blocks reallocated |
| using fallocate() with the FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE option. (Addresses |
| Kernel Bugzilla: #11341) |
| |
| Mke2fs will now set the creation timestamp on the lost+found directory |
| and the root directory. (More generally, all new inodes created using |
| the ext2fs library will correctly set the creation timestamp.) |
| |
| E2fsck now correctly calculates ind/dind/tind statistics in the |
| presence of extent-based files. In addition, "e2fsck -v" will report |
| statistics of the depth of extent trees in the filesystem. E2fsck can |
| also give an inode fragmentation report using "e2fsck -E fragcheck" |
| which can be useful when debugging the kernel block allocation |
| routines. |
| |
| Fix support for empty directory blocks in ext4 filesystems with 64k |
| blocksize filesystems. |
| |
| E2fsck will now print the depth of corrupt htree directories. |
| |
| Debugfs's htree command now correctly understands extent-based |
| directories. It will also print out the minor hash as well as the |
| major hash. |
| |
| Debugfs has a new command which will print the supported features of |
| e2fsprogs, to enable scripts to know whether the installed version of |
| e2fsprogs can support a specific feature. |
| |
| Debugfs will now write files using extents for filesystems that |
| support them. |
| |
| The error message printed by "tune2fs -I" if the inode size was too |
| small was rather confusing, so it has been improved. Also, we won't |
| try to create an undo log until we know that command-line-specified |
| parameters such as "tune2fs -I <inode size>" are valid. |
| |
| Given some filesystems found "in the wild" that had non-zero block |
| group checksums even though the uninit_bg/gdt_sum feature was not |
| enabled, e2fsck would issue spurious error messages. Teach |
| ext2fs_group_desc_csum_verify() to ignore the block group checksum |
| entirely if the feature flag is not set. (Addresses Debian Bug: |
| #490637) |
| |
| The blkid program will now print out a user-friendly listing of all of |
| the block devices in the system and what they contain when given the |
| -L option. (Addresses Debian Bug: #490527) |
| |
| The filefrag program now has a more accurate calculation for the |
| number of ideal extents. (Addresses Debian Bug: #458306) |
| |
| The test I/O manager is now enabled by default, but its overhead is |
| only incurred when it would be enabled via the TEST_IO_FLAGS or |
| TEST_IO_BLOCK environment variables. |
| |
| Typographical errors in various program strings and usage messages |
| have been fixed; most of these were pointed out by the e2fsprogs |
| message catalog translators. (Thanks, translators!) |
| |
| Update and clarified various man pages, as well as some typographical |
| errors in the libext2fs texinfo file. |
| |
| Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for |
| details. |
| |
| Add Indonesian and update French, Polish, Dutch, German, Sweedish, |
| Czech, and Vietnamese Translations. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #313697, |
| #401092) |
| |
| Programmer's Notes |
| ------------------ |
| |
| Fix portability problem with the badblocks group; for systems that |
| don't have nanosleep(), try using usleep() instead. |
| |
| The "make check" target in the e2fsck directory now sets |
| LD_LIBRARY_PATH before running the various e2fsck internal library |
| regression tests. |
| |
| The crc32 regression test in the e2fsck library is now portable to |
| greater varienty of environments, including big-endian systems and |
| when cross-building e2fsprogs for embedded systems. (Addresses |
| Sourceforge Bug: #2019287) |
| |
| The ext2fs_extent_set_bmap() had some bugs when setting the first |
| block in a file, or when replacing a single block extent. Those cases |
| fortunately were came up relatively rarely when e2fsck was checking |
| files, but caused some problems when resize2fs was shrinking |
| extent-based files. |
| |
| Fix a potential core-dumping bug in libe2p's iterate_on_dir() |
| function. |
| |
| Various ext2fs library functions --- ext2fs_block_iterate2(), |
| ext2fs_initialize() and ext2fs_extent_open() --- now correctly free |
| allocated memory to avoid memory leaks in all of their error return |
| paths. |
| |
| Ext2ed was failing to build because masix support had been removed in |
| the rest of e2fsprogs, so ext2ed no longer has masix support, either. |
| |
| The configure script now respects the LDFLAGS environment variable if |
| it is set when configure is called. (Addresses Sourceforge Feature |
| Request: #1937287) |
| |
| Libuuid is now more portable to the Windows platform. (Addresses |
| Sourceforge Feature Request: #1937287) |
| |
| The configure script now uses AC_MSG_{RESULT,WARN,ERROR} instead of |
| bare echo commands so that configure flags such as --quiet work |
| correctly. (Addresses Sourceforge Patches: #2058794) |
| |
| A few uses of sprintf have been removed from the ext2fs library to |
| make life easier for bootloaders with a limited libc environment. |
| (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #2049120) |
| |
| The ext2fs_read_inode() checks the validity of the inode number passed |
| to it earlier, to avoid doing some needless work when it would fail |
| anyway. |
| |
| The ext2fs_open() checks the validity of the blocksize parameter |
| passed to it earlier, to avoid doing some needless work when it would |
| fail anyway. |
| |
| Disable a very annoying automatic "%.sh -> %" GNU make rule in the |
| top-level Makefile. That automatic rule is used to better support |
| SCCS, but it caused problems for a particular niche distribution which |
| likes to use configure.sh files to store the configure options used to |
| build a package. Unfortuntaely GNU make will use the configure.sh to |
| replace the configure script, resulting in a self-inflicted fork bomb |
| leading to an out-of-memory crash. |
| |
| To support old GNU C compilers don't use C99/C++ comments, but only |
| K&R style comments, and don't try to use __builtin_expect if __GNUC__ |
| is less than 3. (__builtin_expect is only supported for gcc versions |
| 2.96 and up, and it's tricky to check for gcc 2.95 vs gcc 2.96; since |
| this is an optimization, we only try to use __builtin_expect for gcc 3 |
| and up.) |
| |
| In e2fsck's crc routines, make sure we use WORDS_BIGENDIAN instead of |
| __LITTLE_ENDIAN, which are only defined by glibc's header files and |
| hence isn't portable. |
| |
| For the convenience for some distributions that need a static tune2fs, |
| the Makefile for misc/ now has a tune2fs.static target. |
| |
| The ext2fs_block_iterate2() function now supports BLOCK_FLAG_APPEND |
| for extent-based files |
| |
| The ext2fs_bmap() function now supports BMAP_ALLOC for extent-based |
| files. |
| |
| All source files no longer have any trailing white space. |
| |
| The io_channel_read_blk64() and io_channel_write_blk64() functions are |
| now functions instead of C preprocessor macros to provide better |
| forward compatibility. |
| |
| The e2fpsrogs translation template now expands the @x abbrevation. |
| |
| Various namespace leackages in libblkid, libe2p, and libext2fs have |
| been fixed. |
| |
| Fix a parallel build problem in e2fsprogs. |
| |
| E2fsprogs is now more portable to Solaris. |
| * blkid no longer assumes that the TIOCGSIZE and TIOCGWINSZ ioctl's |
| are always present. |
| * Scripts do not assume that /bin/true is always in /bin |
| * Don't use __FUNCTION__ since Solaris's C99 doesn't support it. |
| * Flush stdio handles before calling setbuf(), since Solaris will |
| discard any pending output to the stream. |
| * Define _XOPEN_SOURCE to 600 since Solaris's header files are very |
| picky about which C compiler can beused for SUSv3 conformance. |
| Use of C99 is not compatible with SUSv2 (_XOPEN_SOURCE=500), |
| and C89 is not compatible with SUSv3 (_XOPEN_SOURCE=600). |
| Since we need some SUSv3 functions, consistently use SUSv3 so |
| that e2fsprogs will build on Solaris using c99. |
| * Solaris C99 does not support varargs C preprocessor macros |
| * Solaris header files pollute the C namespace if in/netinet.h |
| is included, which conflicts with e2fsprogs' use of the kmem_cache_t |
| typedef. |
| * Solaris ships with a pathetically ancient shell in /bin/sh so we |
| avoid the use of various more avanced shell constructs such as $(). |
| |
| The "make rpm" command will now take some extra configure optiosn from |
| the build environment without needing to patch the source tree. |
| |
| The ext2fs_add_dir_block() function will now grow the dblist more |
| aggressively as an optimization to avoid copying the array too often. |
| |
| The e2fsck_write_bitmaps() will write the block and inode bitmaps |
| together instead of in two passes. |
| |
| |
| E2fsprogs 1.41 (July 10, 2008) |
| ============================== |
| |
| Add support for ext4 filesystem features, in particular extents, |
| uninit_bg, flex_bg, huge_file, and dir_nlink features. Also add |
| support for checking journal checksums. Debugfs will print new |
| superblock and inode fields that were defined for ext4. For example, |
| the nanosecond and i_version fields of an inode, and the |
| s_min_extra_isize and s_wanted_extra_isize fields from the superblock. |
| Note: Resize2fs doesn't currently support the combination of flex_bg |
| and !resize_inode. (Addresses Debian Bug: #388452, #425477) |
| |
| Tune2fs can support migrating a filesystem from using 128 byte inodes |
| to 256 byte inodes, so it can take advantage of the full features of |
| ext4. |
| |
| Add support for "undo" support. E2fsck and mke2fs can optionally |
| record an undo log which can replayed by the program e2undo. |
| |
| E2fsck could damage a filesystem by trying to relocate inode tables |
| due to corrupted block group descriptors, where the attempted inode |
| table relocation would do far more harm than good. E2fsck has been |
| fixed to detect this these sorts of corrupted block group descriptors |
| much earlier in e2fsck processing, so it can try to use the backup |
| superblock and block group descriptors first. This should be a much |
| better strategy for recovering these types of corrupted filesystems. |
| (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1840291) |
| |
| E2fsck will display a more understandable message when the last check |
| field in the superblock is in the future. (Addresses Debian Bug: |
| #446005). |
| |
| E2fsck now performs more extensive and careful checks of extended |
| attributes stored in the inode. |
| |
| Enhance mke2fs to print a more explanatory error message when |
| ext2fs_get_device_size() returns EFBIG. (Addresses Debian Bug: |
| #488663) |
| |
| Fix mke2fs to use a default block size of 4k when formatting an |
| external journal device. This is done by using a fixed filesystem |
| type list that consists only of the single filesystem type "journal" |
| when looking up configuration keys in /etc/mke2fs.conf. (Addresses |
| Debian Bug: #488663) |
| |
| Speed up how mke2fs writes the journal data blocks by writing the disk |
| blocks in larger chunks. |
| |
| Fix blkid handling of stale devices. Fix a bug which could cause a |
| core dump while garbage collecting the blkid cache, and assure that |
| blkid_find_dev_with_tag() never returns a non-existent device. Also, |
| if a filesystem is found at a new /dev location, eliminate any |
| duplicate stale entries which can not be verified. |
| (Addresses Debian Bugs: #487758, #487783) |
| |
| Add more paranoid checks for LVM volumes and swap partitions in |
| blkid's probe function, to reduce the chances of false positives. |
| |
| The mke2fs program now has a much more sophisticated system for |
| controlling configuration parameters of a newly created filesystem |
| based on a split filesystem and usage type system. The -t option to |
| mke2fs was a deprecated alias to -c; it now specifies a filesystem |
| type (ext2, ext3, ext4, etc.), while the -T option can now be a comma |
| separated usage list. The filesystem type information and type |
| information is used to extract configuration parameters from the |
| /etc/mke2fs.conf file. |
| |
| The mke2fs program will no longer complain and request the -f option |
| when the user tries to create a filesystem with greater than 2**31 |
| blocks. |
| |
| When creating a filesystem for the GNU Hurd use a fs-type of Hurd and |
| adjust the mke2fs.conf file so filesystems for the Hurd are created |
| with a blocksize of 4096 and inode size of 128, which is all it knows |
| how to handle. (Addresses Debian Bug: #471977) |
| |
| Mke2fs will always make sure that lost+found always has at least 2 |
| blocks, even for filesystems with very large blocksizes (i.e., 64kb). |
| |
| Resize2fs will now print the minimum needed filesystem size if given |
| the -P option, and will resize the filesystem to the smallest possible |
| size if given the -M option. |
| |
| Fix resize2fs to clean up the resize_inode if all of the reserved gdt |
| blocks are consumed during an off-line resize. |
| |
| The "ls" command in debugfs now supports the -p option, which causes |
| it to quote the filenames so that spaces or tabs in directory entries |
| are easily visible. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: #149480; Addresses |
| Sourceforge Feature Request: #1201667) |
| |
| Fix a potential off-by-one buffer oveflow in the fs_device_name in an |
| e2image file. |
| |
| The chattr program will return a non-zero exit code in case of |
| failures, and error messages can be suppressed with the -f option. |
| (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: #180596) |
| |
| Fix a bug in badblocks which caused it to overrun an array and likely |
| crash if more than 8 test patterns are specified using the -t option. |
| (Addresses Debian Bug: #487298) |
| |
| Add support to badblocks to limit how quickly it reads from the disk |
| drive (so it can be used for background scrubbing), and so it will |
| abort after finding a given number of errors. |
| |
| Remove support for the legacy big-endian filesystem format which only |
| existed on extremely long-dead PowerPC kernels almost a decade ago. |
| |
| Remove MASIX support from e2fsprogs. |
| |
| Add I/O statistics reporting to e2fsck. |
| |
| Update Vietnamese, Polish, French, Spanish, German, Catalan, Dutch, |
| Czech translations. |
| |
| Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for |
| details. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #487443, #487675, #490003) |
| |
| Fixed spelling mistakes, typos, and otherwise clarified man pages. |
| (Addresses Debian Bugs: #393313, #487849, #440983, #440981) |
| |
| Programmer's Notes |
| ------------------ |
| |
| Factor out bitmap code in preparation for adding 64-bit new-style |
| bitmaps. |
| |
| Fix gcc -Wall warnings |
| |
| Fix the pkg-config files so that private librares are specified in |
| "Libs.private:". |
| |
| Fix the libext2fs.texinfo manual so it builds with modern versions of |
| texinfo. |
| |
| Silence the makefile from showing the awk command used to build the |
| |
| Clean up the badblocks group so to make it more portable and robust. |
| |
| Avoid using predictable filenames in /tmp in blkid's regression test |
| suite. Also remove bashism's in the regression test script. |
| |
| If the configure script is given --with-diet-libc, don't use thread |
| local storage, since diet libc doesn't support TLS. (Addresses |
| Sourceforge Bug: #2000654) |
| |
| Fix the blkid regression test suite to tolerate older versions of |
| mkswap that don't support the -U option. |
| |
| A few library routines have been converted to support 64-bit block |
| numbers; in particular, the I/O manager functions, the test_io, |
| inode_io, and unix_io managers have all be converted to support 64-bit |
| operation. |
| |
| Debugfs can now be extended for use by test programs. See |
| lib/ext2fs/extents.c for an example for how it can be used. The test |
| program links against the debugfs object files, and provides |
| additional commands by defining an auxiliary libss command table. |
| |
| The lazy_bg filesystem feature, which was only used by developer's |
| testing, has been removed since it has been largely supplanted by |
| uninit_bg. This also simplifies the code. |
| |
| |
| E2fsprogs 1.40.11 (June 17, 2008) |
| ================================= |
| |
| Mke2fs, tune2fs, and resize2fs now use floating point to calculate the |
| percentage of reserved blocks. (Addresses Debian Bug: #452639) |
| |
| Updated Spanish and Catalan translations. |
| |
| Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for |
| details. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #483962, #483023) |
| |
| Add detection for ZFS volumes to the libblkid library. |
| |
| Fixed spelling mistakes, typos, and otherwise clarified man pages. |
| (Addresses Debian Bug: #486463) |
| |
| Programmer's notes: |
| ------------------- |
| |
| Fix marginal C code in probe_lvm2() function to the blkid library more |
| portable for older compilers. |
| |
| Fix build problems on MacOS X. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1972473) |
| |
| Fix ext2fs_swap{16,32,64} functions so they can be used by external |
| applications on big-endian machines. (Addresses Debian Bug: #484879) |
| |
| |
| E2fsprogs 1.40.10 (May 21, 2008) |
| ================================ |
| |
| When deciding whether or not to revalidate a blkid cache entry, if the |
| device's mtime is newer than the last time the cached entry was |
| validated, force a revalidation. |
| |
| Fix a potential data corruption bug in e2fsck in the journal replay. |
| The chances of this is happening is extremely remote, especially the |
| default data=ordered or data=writeback modes. However, if a block |
| which has been journalled starts with the first four bytes 0xc03b3998, |
| when e2fsck replays the journal, those four bytes will be replaced |
| with zero's. Fortunately, it is highly, highly unlikely for e2fsck |
| metadata to begin with those fatal 4 byte sequence, and unless |
| data=ordered mode is in use, data blocks are never journaled. |
| |
| Updated German, Dutch, Sweedish, and Vietnamese translations. |
| |
| Programmer's notes: |
| ------------------- |
| |
| Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for |
| details. |
| |
| Remove default sizes of types when cross compiling, since autoconf |
| 2.50 can figure this out automatically now. |
| |
| |
| E2fsprogs 1.40.9 (April 27, 2008) |
| ================================= |
| |
| SuSE's security team audited uuidd and came up with a few minor |
| issues. None of them are serious given that uuidd runs setuid as a |
| unprivileged user which has no special access other than libuuid |
| directory, but it's good to get them fixed. |
| |
| One additional fix in ext2fs_swap_inode_full() needed for resize2fs to |
| work correctly with in-inode extended attributes. |
| |
| Updated German, Czech, Dutch, French, Polish, Sweedish, and Vietnamese |
| translations. |
| |
| Debugfs will avoid using a pager if the standard output is not a tty. |
| |
| Fix debugfs and tune2fs to correctly handle daylight savings time when |
| parsing a time string. |
| |
| Fixed spelling mistakes, typos, and otherwise clarified man pages. |
| |
| Fix fsck completion bars when multiple filesystems were being checked |
| in parallel. (Addresses Debian Bug: #432865, Addresses Launchpad Bug: |
| #203323, Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1926023) |
| |
| Fix fsck so that progress information is sent back correctly when |
| multiple filesystems are being check and the output of fsck is being |
| redirected to a file descriptor. Also, include the device name (w/o |
| spaces) in the progress information sent back via a file descriptor. |
| (Addresses Launchpad Bug: #203323, Addresses Sourceforge Bug: |
| #1926023) |
| |
| Teach fsck to treat "ext4" and "ext4dev" as ext* filesystems. |
| |
| If logsave receives a SIGTERM or SIGINT signal, it will now pass that |
| signal to its child process. |
| |
| Fix mke2fs's creation of are resize inode when there is a non-standard |
| s_first_data_block setting. |
| |
| Fix bug in blkid when run by an unprivileged user; most devices were |
| not reported correctly. 9Addresses Launchpad Bug: #220275) |
| |
| Mke2fs will not allow the logically incorect combination of |
| resize_inode and meta_bg, which had previously caused mke2fs to create |
| a corrupt fileystem. |
| |
| Fix fsck in German locales so that a 'j' means yes. |
| (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1947683) |

| |
| Programmer's notes: |
| ------------------- |
| |
| Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for |
| details. |
| |
| Update valgrind options in test_script to work with valgrind 3.2.3 |
| |
| Update texinfo.tex to a much newer version from the FSF. |
| |
| Remove bashism for configure script and from the lib/ss Makefile. |
| Addresses Sourceforge Bug: 1921969 |
| |
| Fix some silently broken tests: m_no_opt, m_meta_bg, and m_raid_opt. |
| |
| Fix build system so that if texinfo is not installed, it won't print a |
| (harmless) error message. |
| |
| |
| E2fsprogs 1.40.8 (March 13, 2008) |
| ================================= |
| |
| Fixed e2image -I so it works on image files which are larger than 2GB. |
| |
| Fixed e2fsck's handling of directory inodes with a corrupt size field. If |
| the size is larger than the number of blocks found in the inode, don't |
| try to allocate extra empty blocks at the end of the directory to make |
| up the difference; there's no point to doing that. In addition, if |
| the size is not a multiple of a blocksize, always fix it. |
| |
| E2fsck handled a pass 2 "should never happen error" by not giving |
| enough information and then core dumping. Unfortunately, it was all |
| too easy to trigger the "should never happen" situation if a |
| directory's inode size was not correct. This has been fixed, but |
| e2fsck has also been taught how to handle this situation more |
| gracefully, by simply removing the inode hash tree information, so |
| that it can be rebuilt again after e2fsck's pass 3. (Addresses |
| Launchpad Bug: #129395) |
| |
| Resize2fs had a bug resizing large inodes with extended attributes |
| that was fixed in 1.40.6; unfortunately, it turned out it wasn't fixed |
| completely on big-endian systems such as PowerPC. The bug should be |
| completely fixed now. Yay for regression test suites. (Addresses Red |
| Hat Bugzilla: #434893) |
| |
| Updated German, Czech, Dutch, Polish, Sweedish, and Vietnamese |
| translations. Many thanks to Philipp Thomas from Novell for stepping |
| up to become the new German translation maintainer! (Addresses Debian |
| Bugs: #302512, #370247, #401092, #412882). |
| |
| When e2fsck is clearing a corrupt inode's HTREE directory information, |
| make it clear that it is just clearing the HTREE information, not the |
| entire inode. |
| |
| Fixed spelling mistakes, typos, and otherwise clarified man pages. |
| |
| Programmer's notes |
| ------------------ |
| |
| Add new functions, ext2fs_dblist_get_last() and |
| ext2fs_dblist_drop_last(), which allows the caller to examine the last |
| directory block entry added to the list, and to drop if it necessary. |
| |
| Fixed a portability problem in libblkid with DJGPP. |
| |
| Fix an obvious typo in an "internal error" message in e2fsck. Thanks |
| to Philipp Thomas for pointing this out. |
| |
| If the info files are not built, change "make install" so it doesn't |
| fail with an error code. |
| |
| |
| E2fsprogs 1.40.7 (February 28, 2008) |
| ==================================== |
| |
| Remove support for clearing the SPARSE_SUPER feature from tune2fs, and |
| depreciate the -s option, since it can result in filesystems which |
| e2fsck can't fix easily. There are very good reasons for wanting to |
| disable sparse_super; users who wants to turn off sparse_super can use |
| debugfs. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1840286) |
| |
| Add missing options to mke2fs's usage message. (Addresses Sourceforge |
| Bug: #1751393) |
| |
| Fix bug in resize2fs when large (greater than 128 byte) inodes are |
| moved when a filesystem is shrunk; it was only moving the first 128 |
| bytes, so extended attributes were not getting moved. (Addresses Red |
| Hat Bugzilla: #434893) |
| |
| E2fsck now prints an explicit message when the bad block inode is |
| updated, to avoid confusion about why the filesystem was modified. |
| (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #756460) |
| |
| Allow mke2fs and tune2fs manipulate the large_file feature. |
| Previously we just let the kernel and e2fsck do this automatically, |
| but e2fsck will no longer automatically clear the large_file feature. |
| It still isn't really necessary to worry about this feature flag |
| explicitly, but some users seem to care. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: |
| #258381) |
| |
| Suppress message about an old-style fstab if the fstab file is empty. |
| (Addresses Debian Bug: #468176) |
| |
| Fix (really minor) bug in debugfs's find_free_block so it avoids |
| reporting a free block more than once if there are too few free blocks |
| in the filesystem. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1096315) |
| |
| Change e2fsck to no longer clear the LARGE_FILES feature flag |
| automatically, when there are no more > 2GB files in the filesystem. |
| It's been almost a decade since there have been kernels that don't |
| support this flag, and e2fsck clears it quietly without telling the |
| user why the filesystem has been changed. |
| |
| Fix bug which could cause libblkid to seg fault if a device mapper |
| volume disappears while it is being probed. (Addresses RedHat |
| Bugzilla: #433857) |
| |
| Inhance e2fsck's reporting of unsupported filesystem feature flags. |
| (Addresses Sourceforge Feature Request: #1175808) |
| |
| Fix option syntax in dumpe2fs for explicit superblock and blocksize |
| parameters. What was currently documented in the man page has been |
| broken for some time, due to getopt() implementation changes. The |
| option sytax has been changed to one which is can be more portable |
| supported and which is consistent with the format for extended options |
| in mke2fs and tune2fs. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1830994) |
| |
| Add support to tune2fs to clear the resize_inode feature. This |
| requires an fsck afterwards. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: #167816) |
| |
| Teach blkid to detect LVM2 physical volumes. (Addresses Red Hat |
| Bugzilla: #409321) |
| |
| Add support for setting RAID stride and stripe-width via mke2fs and |
| tune2fs. Teach dumpe2fs to print the RAID parameters. |
| |
| Add support for setting new superblock fields to debugfs's |
| set_super_value. |
| |
| Add support for printing "mostly-printable" extended attributes in |
| Debugfs. |
| |
| Add support for the -M option to fsck, which causes it to ignore |
| mounted filesystem. |
| |
| Fix uuidd so that it creates the pid file with the correct pid number. |
| (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1893244) |
| |
| Fix various gcc -Wall warnings. |
| |
| Update Czech, Dutch, Polish, Sweedish, and Vietnamese translations |
| |
| Fixed spelling mistakes, typos, and otherwise clarified man pages. |
| (Addresses Sourceforge Patch: #1399325) |
| |
| |
| Programmer's notes: |
| ------------------- |
| |
| Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for |
| details. (Addresses Debian Bug: #466929) |
| |
| Add new flag EXT2_FLAG_NONFREE_ON_ERROR ext2fs_open2() which returns a |
| partially filled-in filesystem object on an error, so that e2fsck can |
| print more intelligent error messages. |
| |
| Add a new function e2p_edit_feature2() which allows the caller to |
| specify which feature flags are OK to set or clear, and which returns |
| more specific information about feature flags which are not allowed to |
| be set/cleared. |
| |
| Set the C locale in the test_script driver since it uses [A-Za-z]. |
| (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1890526) |
| |
| Use fcntl locking instead of lockf in libuuid since Cygwin doesn't |
| support lockf(). |
| |
| Change configure.in to avoid using the 'dc' command unless it is |
| absolutely needed. (i.e., when using parsing a WIP-style version |
| number) (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1893024) |
| |
| Add portability checks to support compilation under DJGPP. |
| |
| Update to the latest samba tdb code before the LGPLv3 change, which |
| fixes a realloc() leak on failure. |
| |
| Fix memory leak in ext2fs_alloc_block(). |
| |
| Fix makefile dependency issues for various install targets. |
| (Addresses-Sourceforge-Patches: #1903484, #1903466, #1903456) |
| |
| Improve descriptions for the r_move_itable and r_resize_inode tests. |
| |
| |
| E2fsprogs 1.40.6 (February 9, 2008) |
| =================================== |
| |
| Add support for returning labels for UDF filesystems in the blkid |
| library. |
| |
| Fix bug in the blkid library where cached filesystems was not being |
| flushed when opening USB devices returned the error ENOMEDIUM. |
| (Addresses Debian Bug: #463787) |
| |
| Added logic to the blkid library to automatically choose whether a |
| filesystem should be mounted as ext4 or ext4dev, as appropriate. |
| |
| Allow tune2fs to set and clear the test_fs flag on ext4 filesystems. |
| |
| Fix a bug in e2fsck which caused it to core dump if e2fsprogs had been |
| configured with --enable-jbd-debug. |
| |
| Document the BLKID_FILE environment variable in the libblkid man page |
| |
| Programmer's Notes: |
| ------------------- |
| |
| Update e2fsprogs translation template and Vietnamese and Czech translations |
| |
| Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for |
| details. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #436058) |
| |
| Don't try to create $DESTDIR/etc/init.d as part of make install as we |
| don't install the init.d script (and it's not the recommended way to |
| start uuidd anyway). (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1885085) |
| |
| Use thread local storage to fix a theoretical race condition if two |
| threads try to format an unknown error code at the same time in the |
| com_err library. |
| |
| |
| E2fsprogs 1.40.5 (January 27, 2008) |
| =================================== |
| |
| Fix a potential overflow big in e2image if the device name is too |
| long. |
| |
| Mke2fs will now create new filesystems with 256 byte inodes and the |
| ext_attr feature flag by default. This allows for much better future |
| compatibity with ext4 and speeds up extended attributes even on ext3 |
| filesystems. |
| |
| Teach e2fsck to ignore certain "safe" filesystem features which are |
| set automatically by the kernel. Having the kernel set features |
| automagically behind the user's back is a bad idea, and we should try |
| to break the kernel of this habit, especially for the newer ext4 |
| feature flags. But for now, we will try to avoid needless full checks |
| which can annoy users who are doing fresh installs. |
| |
| Add support in tune2fs and mke2fs for making a filesystem as being "ok |
| to be used with test kernel code". This will be needed for using test |
| filesystems with the latest ext4 kernel code. |
| |
| Change e2fsck -fD so that it sorts non-htree directories by inode |
| numbers instead of by name, since that optimizes performances much |
| more significantly. (Addresses-Sourceforge-Feature-Request: #532439) |
| |
| If e2image fills the disk, fix it so it exits right away instead of |
| spewing large numbers of error messages. |
| (Addresses-Sourceforge-Feature-Request: #606508) |
| |
| If ftruncate64() is not available for resize2fs, let it use ftrucate() |
| instead, but have it check to see if the size would get truncated, and |
| skip calling ftruncate in that case. |
| |
| Add support for detecting HFS+ filesystems in the blkid library. |
| |
| Add supprt in the blkid library for ext4/ext4dev filesystems. |
| |
| Fix a bug in blkid where it could die on a floating point exception |
| when presented with a corrupt reiserfs image. |
| |
| Fix blkid's handling of ntfs UUID's so that leading zeros are printed |
| such that UUID string is a fixed length. |
| |
| Add sample python bindings for the uuid library to the contrib |
| directory. (Addresses-Sourceforge-Patches: #778817) |
| |
| Fix debugfs's 'lsdel' command so it uses ext2fs_block_iterate2 so it |
| will work with large files. (Addresses Sourceforge Feature Request: |
| #1257500 and Sourceforge Support Request: #1253511) |
| |
| Allow the debugfs 'undel' command to undelete an inode without linking |
| it to a specific destination directory, since this might require |
| allocating blocks that could overwrite some yet-to-be-recovered |
| deleted files. (Addresses-Sourceforge-Feature-Request: #967141) |
| |
| Update Swedish translations from the Translation Project. |
| |
| Programmer's Notes: |
| ------------------- |
| |
| Fix configure handling of --sbindir (which should rarely be used, but |
| someone did complain, so let's fix it). (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: |
| #498381) |
| |
| Updated e2fsprogs.spec file to include a new uuidd package |
| |
| Use pkg-config to determine where to find the devmapper library so we |
| can find out where it is located on different distributions. |
| |
| Fix Makefile race so that "make -j3 distclean" works correctly |
| |
| Fix portability problems on non-Linux/non-Hurd/non-Masix systems, |
| especially on MacOS X systems. (Addresses Sourceforge Bugs: #1861633, |
| #1819034, #1863819) |
| |
| Fixed spelling mistakes, typos, and otherwise clarified man pages. |
| |
| Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for |
| details. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #459403, #459475, #459614) |
| |
| Remove the --enable-dynamic-static configure option, and build e2fsck |
| dynamically by default. If the user wants e2fsck.static, he/she will |
| need to build it via "make -C e2fsck e2fsck.static" |
| |
| Fix various build warnings due to missing prototypes. |
| (Addresses Sourceforge Patch: #1861663, #1861659) |
| |
| |
| E2fsprogs 1.40.4 (December 31, 2007) |
| ==================================== |
| |
| Improve time-based UUID generation. A new daemon uuidd, is started |
| automatically by libuuid if necessary. This daemon is setuid to allow |
| updates to /var/lib/libuuid, so the clock sequence number can be |
| stored and so if the clock is set backwards, it can be detected. |
| (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1529672, Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: |
| #233471) |
| |
| Filter out the NEEDS_RECOVERY feature flag when writing out the backup |
| superblocks. This avoids e2fsck from concluding that a full |
| filesystem check is required before backing up the superblock due to |
| changes in the feature flags. (Addresses Debian Bug: #454926) |
| |
| Fix fsck to only treat the '#' character as a comment at the beginning |
| of the line in /etc/fstab. Otherwise fstabs for the fuse filesystem |
| will cause fsck to issue an bogus warning message. |
| (Addresses Gentoo bug: #195405, Addresses Sourceforge bug: #1826147) |
| |
| Format control characters and characters with the high eighth bit set |
| when printing the contents of the blkid cache, to prevent filesystems |
| with garbage labels from sending escape sequences to the user's screen |
| that might, for example place it in graphics mode. (Addresses Ubuntu |
| Bug: #78087) |
| |
| Fix sign-extension problem on 64-bit systems in in the com_err |
| library. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1809658) |
| |
| Avoid division by zero error when probing an invalid FAT filesystem in |
| the blkid library. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1831627) |
| |
| Update Dutch, Polish, and Vietnamese translations from the Translation |
| Project. Remove the Rwandan translation upon advice of the |
| Translation Project. |
| |
| Programmer's Notes: |
| ------------------- |
| |
| Fix the libss "make check" regression test so that it works if the |
| current directory is not in the user's path or if the libss shared |
| library is not installed. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1848974) |
| |
| Fixed spelling mistakes, typos, and otherwise clarified man pages. |
| (Addresses Debian Bugs: #444883, #441872) |
| |
| Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for |

| Fix Hurd portability issues. (Addresses Debian Bug: #437720) |
| |
| |
| E2fsprogs 1.40.3 (December 5, 2007) |
| =================================== |
| |
| Fix a potential security vulnerability where an untrusted filesystem |
| can be corrupted in such a way that a program using libext2fs will |
| allocate a buffer which is far too small. This can lead to either a |
| crash or potentially a heap-based buffer overflow crash. No known |
| exploits exist, but main concern is where an untrusted user who |
| possesses privileged access in a guest Xen environment could corrupt a |
| filesystem which is then accessed by the pygrub program, running as |
| root in the dom0 host environment, thus allowing the untrusted user to |
| gain privileged access in the host OS. Thanks to the McAfee AVERT |
| Research group for reporting this issue. (Addresses CVE-2007-5497.) |
| |
| Fix hueristics in blkid which could cause a disk without partitions to |
| be incorrectly skipped when a loopback device is present. (Addresses |
| Red Hat Bugzilla #400321.) |
| |
| Fix e2image so that in raw mode it does not create an image file which |
| is one byte too large. |
| |
| Change mke2fs's usage message so it recommends the preferred -E option |
| instead of the deprecated -R option. |
| |
| Enhance the blkid library so it will recognize squashfs filesystems. |
| (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla #305151.) |
| |
| Enhance e2fsck so it will force the backup superblocks to be backed up |
| if the filesystem is consistent and key constants have been changed |
| (i.e., by an on-line resize) or by e2fsck in the course of its |
| operations. |
| |
| Enhance blkid's detection of FAT filesystems; so that USB disks with |
| only a single bootable partition will not get missed. |
| |
| E2fsck will no longer mark a filesystem as invalid if it has time |
| errors (i.e., if superblock mount time or last write time is in the |
| future) and the user refuses to fix the problem. |
| |
| The Ubuntu init scripts don't properly set the system time correctly |
| from hardware clock if the hardware clock is configured to tick local |
| time instead of GMT time. Work around this as best as we can by |
| providing an option, buggy_init_scripts, in /etc/e2fsck.conf which can |
| be set on Ubuntu systems. (Addresses Debian Bug #441093, and Ubuntu |
| Bug #131201.) |
| |
| Fix fsck to ignore /etc/fstab entries for bind mounts. (Addresses Red |
| Hat Bugzilla #151533.) |
| |
| Fix e2fsck so that if the superblock is corrupt, but still looks |
| vaguely like an ext2/3/4 superblock, that it automatically tries to |
| fall back to the backup superblock, instead of failing with a hard |
| error. |
| |
| Make the e2fsprogs program more robust so that they will not crash |
| when opening a corrupt filesystem where s_inode_size is zero. |
| |
| Change e2fsck so it uses sscanf() instead of atoi() so it non-numeric |
| arguments are detected as such and the parse error is reported to the |
| user. (Addresses Debian Bug #435381.) |
| |
| Change e2fsck so it will not complain if a file has blocks reallocated |
| up to the next multiple of a system's page size. |
| |
| Fix bug in ext2fs_check_desc() which will cause e2fsck to complain |
| about (valid) filesystems where the inode table extends to the last |
| block of the block group. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla #214765.) |
| |
| Fix a bug in ext2fs_initialize() which causes mke2fs to fail while |
| allocating inode tables for some relatively rare odd disk sizes. |
| (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla #241767.) |
| |
| Add Catalan translation and update Dutch and Swedish translations |
| from the Translation Project. |
| |
| Fix big-endian byte-swapping bug in ext2fs_swap_inode_full(). We |
| still had an issue when trying to figure out whether we need to |
| byte-swap fast symlinks that contained extended attributes. |
| |
| Fixed spelling mistakes, typos, and otherwise clarified man pages. |
| (Addresses SourceForge Bug #1821333.) |
| |
| |
| Programmer's Notes: |
| ------------------- |
| |
| Fix mke2fs tests to avoid needing any significant ^M (CR) characters |
| |
| Add "make check" to the RPM spec file |
| |
| Fix "make install" and 'make unstall" in misc/Makefile.in so that it |
| works correctly when the prefix is not the root directory. |
| |
| Fix the resize2fs tests, r_move_itable and r_resize_inode, so they |
| clena up after themselves by deleting the test.img temporary file |
| after completing the test. |
| |
| Fixed a corner case bug ext2fs_unlink() when trying to delete the |
| first directory entry in a directory block and the last directory |
| entry in the previous directory block is not in use. Fortunately |
| ext2fs_unlink() is only used by debugfs and e2fsck, and in e2fsck in |
| places where it is extremely unlikely to run into this corner case. |
| |
| Fix missing dependency which would cuase parallel builds to fail. |
| (Addresses Sourceforge Bug #1842331.) |
| |
| Fix a build error on newer gcc caused by lib/ext2fs/ismounted.c |
| calling open(O_CREATE) with a missing mode parameter. |
| |
| Fix the test_ss.c in lib/ss so it can be used as an example |
| application program for the library as well as a regression test |
| suite. |
| |
| Fix ext2fs_dblist_dir_iterate() so that error codes and abort codes |
| are properly passed back up through the call stack. |
| |
| E2fsprogs 1.40.2 (July 12, 2007) |
| ================================ |
| |
| A recent change to e2fsck_add_dir_info() to use tdb files to check |
| filesystems with a very large number of filesystems had a typo which |
| caused us to resize the wrong data structure. This would cause a |
| array overrun leading to malloc pointer corruptions and segfaults. |
| Since we normally can very accurately predict how big the the dirinfo |
| array needs to be, this bug only got triggered on very badly corrupted |
| filesystems. |
| |
| Fix a bug in e2fsck which caused it to incorrectly salvange |
| directories when the last entry's rec_len is bogusly too big. This |
| resulted in a nonsense filesystem corruption to be reported, and |
| required a second run of e2fsck to fully fix up the directory. |
| |
| Update tune2fs man page to include more discussion of reserved blocks |
| (Addresses Launchpad bug #47817) |
| |
| Update Turkish, Polish, Dutch, and Vietnamese PO files from the |
| Translation Project |
| |
| |
| E2fsprogs 1.40.1 (July 7, 2007) |
| =============================== |
| |
| Fix bug which could cause libblkid to loop forever. When revalidating |
| a partition where there is obsolete information in /etc/blkid.tab, we |
| end up freeing a the type tag without clearing dev->bid_type, causing |
| blkid_verify() to loop forever. (Addresses Debian Bug: #432052) |
| |
| The Turkish translation has a bug in it where it has the translation |
| of "E@e '%Dn' in %p (%i)" to "E@E". This causes @E to be expanded at |
| @E, recursively, forever, until the stack fills up and e2fsck core |
| dumps. We fix this by making e2fsck stop @-expansions after a |
| recursive depth of 10, which is far more than we need. |
| (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1646081) |
| |
| Compile the default mke2fs.conf into mke2fs program. People are |
| getting surprised by mke2fs creating filesystems with different |
| defaults than earlier versions of mke2fs if mke2fs.conf is not |
| present. So we now create a built in version of mke2fs.conf file |
| which is used by mke2fs if the /etc/mke2fs.conf is not present. |
| (Addresses SourceforgeBug: #1745818) |
| |
| Improve the config/parse_types.sh helper script. Fix a potential |
| security problem if e2fsprogs is built as root (as Gentoo does!). In |
| addition fix the script and how it is called from the configure script |
| so that it does the right thing when cross-compiling. (Fixes Gentoo |
| bug: #146903) |
| |
| Update Vietnamese, French, and Dutch PO files from the Translation |
| Project. Also created a new e2fsprogs.pot file for translator. |
| |
| Fix bogus strip permission errors when building under Debian. When |
| building the e2fsprogs dpkg's, the dh_strip command emits a large |
| number of error messages caused by the permissions not being right. |
| So run dh_fixperms before running dh_strip. |
| |
| Programmer's Notes: |
| ------------------- |
| |
| Add new function: profile_set_default(). This function sets the value |
| of the pseudo file "<default>". If the file "<default>" had |
| previously been passed to profile_init(), then def_string parameter |
| will be parsed and used as the profile information for the "<default>" |
| file. |
| |
| Fix mk_cmds's error reporting so that it is unambiguous that it is the |
| mk_cmds script which is generating the error. (Obviates Gentoo patch: |
| e2fsprogs-1.32-mk_cmds-cosmetic.patch) |
| |
| Fix the test suite to use LC_ALL instead of LANG. LC_ALL is the "high |
| priority" environment variable that overrides all others, where as |
| LANG is the lowest priorty environment variable. If LC_ALL is set, it |
| doesn't matter whether LANG, LANGUAGE, LC_COLLATE, LC_MESSAGES, and |
| the all the rest are set. This will assure that the locale when |
| running the test suites is the "C" locale. (Obviates Gentoo patch: |
| e2fsprogs-1.38-tests-locale.patch) |
| |
| |
| E2fsprogs 1.40 (June 29, 2007) |
| ============================== |
| |
| Fix divide by zero error in blkid's NTFS probing logic. |
| |
| Add new blkid -g option which causes the blkid cache to be garbage |
| collected. |
| |
| Fix a bug in libblkid which could cause the internal field bid_type to |
| become corrupted. Fortunately bid_type isn't used much, and bid_label |
| and bid_uuid is only used by debugging code, so the impact of this bug |
| was very minor. |
| |
| Mke2fs will now store the RAID stride value when a filesystem is |
| created with a requested RAID stride, and then use it automatically in |
| resize2fs. |
| |
| Mke2fs has a sanity check added to make sure (inode_size * num_inodes) |
| isn't too big. In some cases Lustre users have tried specifying an |
| inode size of 4096 bytes, while keeping an inode ratio of one inode |
| per 4096 bytes. |
| |
| Improve sanity check in e2fsck's algorithm for finding a backup |
| superblock, so that it won't accidentally find a superblock that was |
| located in the journal, and then later reject it as being not a valid |
| backup superblock. |
| |
| Fix e2fsck get_size logic so that it will work with the Linux floppy |
| driver. The Linux floppy driver is a bit different from the other |
| block device drivers, in that if the device has been opened with |
| O_EXCL, it disallows another open(), even if the second open() does |
| not have the O_EXCL flag. (Addresses Debian Bug: #410569) |
| |
| Fix error checking of badblock's last-block and start-block arguments. |
| (Addresses Debian Bug: #416477) |
| |
| Fix e2fsck so that it doesn't overwrite the backup superblocks when |
| recovering a journal until the master superblock has been confirmed as |
| being sane. |
| |
| Change the blkid library to be much more paranoid about concluding |
| that a partition contains an NTFS filesystem, and fetch the UUID and |
| LABEL information from NTFS filesystems. (Addresses Launchpad Bug: |
| #110138) |
| |
| Factor out the code which sets the default journal size and move it |
| into libext2fs. |
| |
| Enhance e2fsck so it will recreate the ext3 journal if the original |
| journal inode was cleared to due it being corrupt after finishing the |
| filesystem check. |
| |
| Fix e2fsck so that it updates the journal inode if it is corrupted and |
| the backup journal information from the superblock was successfully |
| used to recover the filesystem. |
| |
| Fix e2fsck so that it checks all of the blocks in the journal inode |
| for validity. The original code only checked the direct blocks to |
| make sure the journal inode was sane. Unfortunately, if some or all |
| of the indirect or doubly indirect blocks were corrupted, this would |
| not be caught. |
| |
| Add support in blkid to detect LUKS encrypted partitions. |
| |
| Add extra sanity checks for extended attributes in the case where the |
| size is zero but the offset is very large. |
| |
| Fix byte-swapping issues for large inodes in ext2fs_read_inode_full() |
| and ext2fs_get_next_inode_full(). |
| |
| Clarify the copyright licenses used by the various libraries in |
| the top-level COPYING file (Red Hat Bugzilla: 166058) |
| |
| Make mke2fs's defaults when /etc/mke2fs.conf doesn't exist more sane. |
| |
| Fix mke2fs and debugfs to support large (> 16 bit) uid's and gid's. |
| |
| Remove check in e2fsck which requires EA's in inodes to be sorted; |
| they don't need to be sorted, and e2fsck was previously wrongly |
| clearing unsorted EA's stored in the inode structure. |
| |
| Allow mke2fs or tune2fs to create a substantially larger journal (up |
| to 10,240,000 blocks). |
| |
| Fix MD superblock detection, and make sure the correct UUID is |
| reported from the MD superblock. |
| |
| Fix a signed vs. unsigned bug in debugfs. |
| |
| Enhance debugfs's date parser so that it accepts integer values. |
| |
| Fix e2fsck's pass1c accounting so it doesn't terminate too early if a |
| file with multiply claimed blocks is hard linked. or not at all if the |
| root directory contains shared blocks |
| |
| Enhance debugfs so it can modify the block group descriptors using the |
| command set_block_group_descriptor. |
| |
| Improve e2fsck's reporting of I/O errors so it's clearer what it was |
| trying to do when an error happens |
| |
| Fix a bug in in how e2fsprogs byte swaps inodes containing fast |
| symlinks that have extended attributes. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: |
| #232663 and LTC Bugzilla: #27634) |
| |
| Fix potential file descriptor leak in ext2fs_get_device_size() in an |
| error case. |
| |
| Add libreadline.so.5 support to libss. |
| |
| Impove badblocks -n/-w exclusive usage message. |
| |
| Fix dump_unused segfault in debugfs when a filesystem is not open |
| |
| Fix memory leak in blkid library. (Addresses Debian Bug: #413661) |
| |
| Allow the debugfs lcd command to work w/o a filesystem being open. |
| (Addresses LTC Bugzilla #27513) |
| |
| Fix e2fsck to clear i_size for special devices with a bogus i_blocks |
| field on the first pass. |
| |
| Fix e2fsck to set the file type of the '..' entry when connecting |
| a directory to lost+found. (Addresses Lustre Bug: #11645) |
| |
| Enhance e2fsck to recover directories whose modes field were corrupted |
| to look like special files. This is probably only useful in |
| artificial test cases, but it will be useful if we ever do the "inodes |
| in directory" idea for ext4. |
| |
| Allow debugfs to dump (and rdump) > 2GB files. (Addresses Debian Bug: |
| #412614) |
| |
| Fix resize2fs parsing of size parameter (in sector units). This was |
| actually a bug in libe2p's parse_num_blocks() function. When handling |
| the 's' suffix, it was ignoring the blocksize information passed in |
| from the caller and always interpreting the number in terms of a 1k |
| blocksize. (Addresses Debian Bug: #408298) |
| |
| There was a floating point precision error which could cause e2fsck to |
| loop forever on really big filesystems with a large inode count. |
| (Addresses Debian Bug: #411838) |
| |
| Fix memory leak in ext2fs_write_new_inode() |
| |
| Add support for using a scratch files directory to reduce e2fsck's |
| memory utilization on really big filesystems. This uses the TDB |
| library. See the [scratch_files] section of the e2fsck.conf man page |
| for more details. |
| |
| Fixed type-punning bug which caused dumpe2fs to crash on the Arm |
| platform (Addresses Debian Bug: #397044) |
| |
| Add explanatory message to badblocks that -n and -w are mutually exclusive |
| (Addresses Debian Bug: #371869) |
| |
| Allow debugfs and dumpe2fs to support fs features under development. |
| |
| Add support for the new flag EXT2_FLAG_SOFTSUPP_FEATURES flag to |
| ext2fs_open() , which allows application to open filesystes with features |
| which are currently only partially supported by e2fsprogs. |
| |
| Allow unix_io to support offsets greater than 2G (Addresses |
| SourceForge Bug: #1547922) |
| |
| Fixed overflow and signed/unsigned problems caused by the number of |
| blocks or inodes exceeding 2**31 or being close to 2**32-1. |
| |
| Add support for unsigned directory hash calculations with hints in the |
| superblock to fix cross-architectural portability for htree |
| directories with filenames where the high 8th bit is set. (Addresses |
| Debian: #389772) |
| |
| Fix resize2fs so that it gives user-intelligible error messages if the |
| filesystem or the kernel does not support on-line resizing. |
| (Addresses Debian Bug: #380548) |
| |
| Require mke2fs -F -F for really dangerous operations, since -F is |
| needed for less dangerous operations such as creating filesystems |
| images in regular files, or creating filesystems on whole block |
| devices. These relatively innocuous usages should NOT be confused |
| with running mke2fs on an apparently-mounted or in-use filesystem. |
| |
| Allow the default inode size to be specified into the mke2fs.conf |
| file. |
| |
| Make the smallest default journal size is big enough so that on-line |
| resizing should always work. |
| |
| Fix silly spelling error in e2fsck. (Addresses SourceForge bug: |
| #1531372) |
| |
| Fix debugfs coredump when lsdel is run without an open filesystem |
| (Addresses Debian Bug: #378335) |
| |
| Fix debugfs display bug us that bytes that have the high bit set are |
| displayed as "ec" instead of "ffffffec". |
| |
| Add support in lsattr so it will display the EXT4_EXTENTS_FL flag. |
| |
| Device mapper scanning wasn't working in the blkid library because the |
| pathnames had an extra "/dev" when they were being probed. |
| |
| Add GFS/GFS2 support to the blkid library. |
| |
| Fix blkid support of empty FAT filesystem labels. |
| |
| Avoid recursing forever (or for a long time) when the blkid library |
| searches for a device and there are symlinks to directories in /dev. |
| |
| Avoid unaligned halfword access in blkid when accessing FAT |
| superblocks, as this will cause Sparc/Solaris systems to throw a |
| SIGBUS error. |
| |
| The latest devmapper libraries requires pthreads, add -lpthreads to |
| the static link libraries for e2fsck.static if devmapper is enabled. |
| (Addresses Debian bug: #388718) |
| |
| Improve the (non-installed, for experts only) findsuper program by |
| printing the uuid and label from the superblocks, as well as the |
| starting and ending offsets of the filesystem given the information in |
| the superblock. Omit by default printing superblocks that are likely |
| found in located in an ext3 journal unless an explicit -j option is |
| given. |
| |
| Updated Spanish, French and Dutch translations and added Catalan |
| translation. (Addresses Debian bug: #411562) |
| |
| Use FreeBSD's DIOCGMEDIASIZE and DIOCGDINFO ioctls if available when |
| determining a partition's size, since binary searching to determine |
| the device doesn't work on FreeBSD. |
| |
| Documentation about UUID's is available in enough places, and it's |
| awkward to deal with debian-legal's insanities. So I'm caving in the |
| "more-lunatic-than-RMS" wing of Debian by removing RFC-4122 so we |
| don't have do the dfsg tarball. Also remove the rule that only tried |
| to install RFC-4122 on Ubuntu, since Ubuntu seems to want to fetch |
| e2fsprogs exclusively from Debian. (Addresses Debian Bug: #407107) |
| |
| Fix the info-dir line so that the menu name does not contain a .info |
| prefix. First of all, it's ugly, secondly, it causes the install-info |
| command to fail to remove the com_err info file from the |
| /usr/share/info/dir file when the comerr-dev package is removed and |
| purged. (Addresses Debian Bug: #401711) |
| |
| Fixed spelling mistakes, typos, and otherwise clarified man pages. |
| (Addresses Debian Bug: #369761, #373004, #379695) |
| |
| Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for |
| details. (Addresses Debian Bugs #389554, #390664, #413208, #419605, |
| #408352, #415560, #399155) |
| |
| |
| Programmer's notes: |
| ------------------- |
| |
| E2fsck now supports the %It expansion when printing a problem report. |
| It will print the type of the inode in the problem context. |
| |
| Fix misc/Makefile.in so that it builds even if e2fsck hasn't been built yet |
| (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1565561) |
| |
| Remove unused variables and other lint/gcc -Wall cleanups |
| |
| Add check to ext2fs_get_device_size() so it will return EFBIG for for |
| filesystems contained in regular files where the filesystem image size |
| is returned by stat64(). |
| |
| Set local environment variables to C so mk_cmds and compile_et always |
| work. (Addresses SourceForge Bug: #1532177) |
| |
| Added the 64-bit byte swapping function ext2fs_swab64(). |
| |
| Added two new helper functions to prevent 2**31/2**32-1 overflow |
| problems: ext2fs_div_ceil() and e2p_percent(). |
| |
| Create new ext2fs library inline functions ext2fs_group_first_block() |
| and ext2fs_group_last_block() in order to calculate the starting and |
| ending blocks in a block group. |
| |
| Create the generated files read-only to remind developers not to edit them. |
| |
| Add support for autoconf 2.60 (with backwards compatibility for older |
| versions of autoconf). |
| |
| Added an "make rpm" target to top-level Makefile |
| |
| Added various FreeBSD portability fixes. |
| |
| Exclude mercurial files from the RPM build tree to speed up copy/build. |
| |
| Use root_sysconfdir to define the locations of mke2fs.conf and |
| e2fsck.conf instead of using a hard-coded /etc pathname. |
| |
| Prevent e2fsck.h and ext2_ext_attr.h from getting included multiple times. |
| |
| Fixed "make clean" in blkid's Makefile.in file from removing tst_*.c files. |
| |
| If diff -u is supported, use it to report test failures. |
| |
| Updates/improvements to RPM spec file |
| |
| Add on-disk format definitions for the following new features: |
| EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_HUGE_FILE, EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_GDT_CSUM, |
| EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_DIR_NLINK, EXT4_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_64BIT, |
| EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_EXTRA_ISIZE |
| |
| Add a new make target "checked-failed" in the tests directory which |
| reruns any failed tests |
| |
| Update draft-leach-uuids-guids-01.txt with rfc4122.txt |
| |
| Fix miscellaneous bugs reported by Coverity: Dead code, potential nul |
| pointer dereferences, memory leaks, etc. None were security-criticial |
| problems. |
| |
| Fix up usage and decrement error messages in the test_icount program |
| |
| Add debugging code to the com_err library; if the environment variable |
| COMERR_DEBUG is set to 1, print out debugging messages as error tables |
| are added and removed from the com_err library. If the |
| COMERR_DEBUG_FILE environment variable is set (and the process is not |
| setuid) the debugging messages may be redirected to a file. |
| |
| Change all of the e2fsprogs programs to use the newer add_error_table() |
| and remove_error_table() interfaces instead of the much older |
| initialize_*_error_table() function. |
| |
| Add TDB support into the ext2fs library. This allows us to have a |
| guaranteed library we can count on always being present so we can |
| store data in an on-disk database. |
| |
| Add support for using TDB to store the icount data, so we don't run out |
| of memory when checking really large filesystems. |
| |
| Change the regression test suite so that it skips empty test directories. |
| |
| Define the l_i_iversion field in ext2_inode. The l_i_version field is |
| now defined from the old l_i_reserved1 field in the ext2 inode. This |
| field will be used to store high 32 bits of the 64-bit inode version |
| number. |
| |
| Add Makefile production rule for e2fsprogs.spec in case it gets |
| deleted. |
| |
| Add new function profile_get_uint() to allow for a clean way to fetch |
| unsigned integers from the context. |
| |
| Add test to make sure the ext2 superblock structure is 1024 bytes. |
| |
| Fix typo in name of f_dup4 regression test |
| |
| Add new function blkid_gc_cache() which performs a garbage collection |
| pass on the /etc/blkid.tab file. |
| |
| The ext2fs_open() function now sets EXT2_FLAG_MASTER_SB_ONLY. In |
| general, only e2fsck (after the filesystem is clean), tune2fs, and |
| resize2fs should change the backup superblocks by default. Most |
| callers of ext2fs_open() should not be touching any superblock fields |
| which require the backups to be touched. |
| |
| Add new function to libext2fs, ext2fs_default_journal_size(), which |
| returns the default journal size. |
| |
| |
| E2fsprogs 1.39 (May 29, 2006) |
| ============================= |
| |
| Fix 32-bit cleanliness in e2fsprogs so that we can support filesystems |
| between 2**31 and 2**32 blocks. |
| |
| Change mke2fs to use /etc/mke2fs.conf as a configuration file to |
| configure the filesystem features, blocksize, and inode_ratio for |
| different filesystem types. |
| |
| Mke2fs will now create filesystems hash trees and on-line resizing |
| enabled by default, based on the new /etc/mke2fs.conf file. |
| |
| The e2fsprogs tools (resize2fs, e2fsck, mke2fs) will open the |
| filesystem device node in exclusive mode to prevent accidents by |
| system administrators. In the case of resize2fs and mke2fs, it will |
| only use exclusive mode if the filesystem is not mounted. |
| |
| Fixed a bug in mke2fs which caused it to to fail when creating the |
| resize inode for large filesystems. (Addresses Debian Bug #346580) |
| |
| When allocating space for the RAID filesystems with the stride |
| parameter, mke2fs will now place each portion of the group's inode |
| table right up after the superblock (if present) in order to minimize |
| fragmentation of the freespace. |
| |
| Speed up mke2fs and e2fsck by writing inode and block bitmaps more |
| efficiently by writing the inode and block bitmaps in one pass, thus |
| reducing the number of disk seeks required. |
| |
| Add support for on-line resizing to resize2fs. |
| |
| Fix blkid library so that logic to determine whether or not a device's |
| cached information in /etc/blkid.tab needs to be verified or not |
| doesn't get confused by a system clock which is insane (for example, |
| if the battery is dead on a Macintosh running PPC Linux. (Addresses |
| Red Hat Bug: #182188) |
| |
| The blkid library will now store the UUID of the external journal used |
| by ext3 filesystems, so that in the future, the userspace mount binary |
| can use this to find the location of the external journal and pass |
| this information to the kernel. |
| |
| E2fsck will now consult a configuration file, /etc/e2fsck.conf to |
| control how various options should be handled. See the e2fsck.conf |
| man page for more details. (Addresses Debian Bug: #150295) |
| |
| E2fsck now prints an explanatory message when delaying a filesystem |
| check when the system is running on battery. (Addresses Debian Bug: |
| #350306) |
| |
| E2fsck will detect if the superblock's last mount field or last write |
| field is in the future, and offer to fix if so. (Addresses Debian Bug |
| #327580) These problems will be fixed automatically in preen mode |
| since Debian's boot sequence bogusly doesn't set the time correctly |
| until potentially very late in the bootup process, and this can cause |
| false positives which will cause users' systems to fail to boot. |
| (Addresses Debian Bugs #343662 and #343645) |
| |
| E2fsck now checks to see if the superblock hint for the location of |
| the external journal is incorrect, and if so, offer to update it. |
| (Addresses Debian Bug: #355644) |
| |
| Fix e2fsck from segfaulting on disconnected inodes that contain one or |
| more extended attributes. (Addresses Debian Bug: #316736, #318463) |
| |
| E2fsck will stop and print a warning if the user tries running a |
| read/write badblocks test on a read-only mounted root filesystem. |
| |
| Fix a memory leak in e2fsck's error paths. (Thanks to Michael |
| C. Thompson for pointing these out; they were originally found using |
| Coverity.) |
| |
| When resizing a file containing a filesystem, resize2fs will expand or |
| truncate a file as necessary. (Addresses Debian Bug: #271607) |
| |
| Resize2fs will now automatically determine the RAID stride parameter that |
| had been used to create the filesystem, and use that for newly created |
| block groups. The RAID stride parameter may also be manually specified |
| on the command line using the new -S option to resize2fs. |
| |
| Fix mke2fs so that it correctly creates external journals on |
| big-endian machines (such as a S/390). |
| |
| Fix a bug in the e2p library which could cause dumpe2fs to (rarely) |
| fail to print out the journal or hash seed UUID. (Thanks to Guillaume |
| Chambraud for pointing this out.) |
| |
| Dumpe2fs will now print the size of the journal (if present). |
| |
| Fix debugfs's set_inode_field command so it can properly set the frag, |
| fsize, uid_high, gid_high, and author fields in the inode instead of |
| silently failing, and so that setting the i_size actually sets i_size |
| correctly. |
| |
| Add a new debugfs command, set_current_time, which sets fs->now so |
| that regression test suites can repeatedly modify the filesystem's |
| last_write fields. |
| |
| Fix a bug in debugfs's icheck which would incorrectly report the owner |
| of an extended attribute block. |
| |
| Fix the debugfs commands htree_dump, dx_hash, and list_dir so they print a |
| print a usage message when an illegal option character is given. |
| |
| Fix debugfs's dump_unsued command on filesystems with a 64k blocksize |
| so it won't core dump. (Addresses SourceForge bug #1424311) |
| |
| Fix mklost+found so that it creates a full-sized directory on |
| filesystems with larger block sizes. |
| |
| Fix a file descriptor leak in blkid library. |
| |
| Fix a display bug in "badblocks -sv" so that the done message properly |
| clears the block number at the end of the test. (Addresses Debian Bug |
| #322231) |
| |
| Allow fractional percentages to the -m option in mke2fs and tune2fs |
| (Addresses Debian Bug: #80205) |
| |
| Use fstat/fstat64 in getsize.c if the the target is a regular file, |
| instead of attempting to do a binary search. Fix some fd leaks in |
| error cases. |
| |
| Add support for device mapper library to the blkid library to ensure |
| that the "best" (i.e., leaf) device is probed by the blkid library. |
| |
| Fix the blkid library so that it notices when an ext2 filesystem is |
| upgraded to ext3. |
| |
| Improve the blkid's library VFAT/FAT detection; it now understands |
| labels stored in the root directory, and is more paranoid about |
| checking the FAT superblock values. |
| |
| Fixed a fd leak in the uuid library which was causing problems for the |
| LVM tools. (Addresses Debian Bug: #345832) |
| |
| Add support for the reiser4 and software suspend partitions to the |
| blkid library. Also add support for extract the label from iso9660 |
| filesystems. |
| |
| Fix a compile_et bug which miscount the number of error messages if |
| continuations are used in the .et file. |
| |
| Add extra sanity checks to protect users from unusual cirucmstances |
| where /etc/mtab may not be sane, by checking to see if the device is |
| reported busy (works on Linux 2.6) kernels. (Addresses Debian Bug |
| #319002) |
| |
| Updated French, Dutch, Polish, and Swedish translations. (Addresses Debian |
| Bug: #343149, #341911, #300871, #316604, #316782, #330789) |
| |
| Fix use-after-free bug in e2fsck when finishing up the use of the |
| e2fsck context structure. |
| |
| Fixed spelling mistakes, typos, and otherwise clarified man pages and |
| documentation. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #329859, #322188, #316811, |
| #312515, #351268, #357951, #347295, #316040, #368392, #368393, #368394, |
| #368179) |
| |
| Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for |
| details. (Addresses Debian Bugs #317862, #320389, #290429, #310950, |
| #310428, #330737, #330736, #329074, #356293, #360046, #366017, #364516, |

| Programmer's notes: |
| ------------------- |
| |
| Update config.guess and config.sub to latest version (2006-02-23) from |
| FSF. |
| |
| Fix asm_types.h type conflicts on AMD 64 platforms. (Addresses Debian |
| Bugs: #360661, #360317) |
| |
| Fixed the Makefile so that they work correctly on newer versions of |
| GNU make (i.e., 3.81). |
| |
| Add valgrind support to the regression test suites, and eliminate |
| false positives from valgrind. |
| |
| Add a regression test suite for the blkid library. |
| |
| Fix a fencepost error in resize2fs caught by valgrind. |
| |
| Fix compiler warnings about missing memcpy prototypes. |

| We no longer have the sparc assembly code in the header file any more, |
| so we shouldn't set _EXT2_HAVE_HAS_BITOPS_ for the sparc. This would |
| break compiles on the sparc architectures when using gcc. |
| |
| In the libext2fs library, add the new field fs->now which if non-zero |
| is used instead of the system time when setting various filesystem |
| fields (last modified time, last write time, etc.) |
| |
| Fix gcc 4.01 complaints by adding a missing #include <string.h> to |
| ext2fs.h which is needed since the inline functions use memcpy(). |
| (Addresses Sourceforge Bug #1251062) |
| |
| Use BUILD_CFLAGS and BUILD_LDFLAGS instead of CFLAGS and LDFLAGS in |
| the build system when building files in the util directory which are |
| needed during the build process. This avoids potential problems when |
| cross-compiling and some of the options specified in CFLAGS or LDFLAGS |
| are not recognized as valid by the host compiler. (Addresses |
| Sourceforge Bug #1261547) |
| |
| Clean up the blkid library by making the superblock and generic i/o |
| functions to be more generic. Clean up interface to the probe |
| function, and fix memory leak. Finallly, remove an unneeded reference |
| to probe.h in the lib/blkid/resolve.c |
| |
| Add an ext2fs_read_bb_FILE regression test to confirm proper detection |
| of invalid block #'s. |
| |
| The x86 asm constraints for ext2fs_{set/clear}_bit have been fixed to |
| indicate that the the function read/writes the memory location. |
| |
| Fix various gcc -Wall complaints. |
| |
| Add a dependency to make sure that the subdirectories are created |
| before creating all of the object files, in order to address parallel |
| build problem in the library Makefiles. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: |
| #1261553) |
| |
| Add $(LDFLAGS) to the command line argument when generating an ELF or |
| Solaris shared library, to allow cross-compile and other builds that |
| might need to specify -L paths to needed libraries. (Addresses |
| Sourceforge Bug #1261549) |
| |
| Add a new feature, EXT2_FEATURE_COMPAT_LAZY_BG, which is initially |
| intended for testing purposes. It allows an ext2/ext3 developer to |
| create very large filesystems using sparse files where most of the |
| block groups are not initialized and so do not require much disk |
| space. Eventually it could be used as a way of speeding up mke2fs and |
| e2fsck for large filesystem, but that would be best done by adding an |
| RO_COMPAT extension to the filesystem to allow the inode table to be |
| lazily initialized on a per-block basis, instead of being entirely |
| initialized or entirely unused on a per-blockgroup basis. |
| |
| Fix backwards compatibility so e2fsprogs will better compile on Linux |
| 2.0.35 systems. |
| |
| Make test scripts more robust against locale-related environment variables |
| |
| Fix type warning problem with sizeof() in ext2fs_open2(). |
| |
| Fix type warning problem with time_t in debugfs. |
| |
| |
| E2fsprogs 1.38 (June 30, 2005) |
| ============================== |
| |
| Fix blkid's test programs (built with "make check") compile correctly |
| even without "configure --enable-blkid-debug". |
| |
| Fix ia64 core dump bug caused by e2fsprogs running afoul of C99 strict |
| type aliasing rules on newer gcc compilers. (Addresses Red Hat |
| Bugzilla ##161183.) |
| |
| Fix com_err library to make it more compatible with recent changes |
| made to the com_err library in MIT Kerberos V5 version 1.4. |
| (Addresses Sourcefroge Bug #1150146) |
| |
| General cleanup of messages printed by e2fsprogs programs for grammar, |
| consistency, and to make life easier for translators. Fixed a few |
| strings containing English that had not been marked as needing |
| translations. Removed strings that do not need to be translated, to |
| make life easier for translators. |
| |
| Mke2fs and badblocks will take advantage of a feature in Linux 2.6 to |
| test to see if a device appears to be in use instead of just relying |
| on /proc/mounts and /etc/mtab. (Addresses Debian Bug #308594). |
| |
| Fix portability problem in the filefrag program affecting platforms |
| where the size of an integer is smaller than the size of a long. |
| (Addresses Debian Bug #309655) |
| |
| Mke2fs will now use a larger journal by default for filesystems |
| greater than 4GB. (128 MB instead of 32MB). |
| |
| Mke2fs will refuse to create filesystems greater than 2**31-1 blocks, |
| unless forced. This is to avoid signed vs. unsigned kernel bugs in |
| block numbers that still need to be fixed. |
| |
| The blkid program has a new option which will more efficiently search |
| for device when it is known (or expected) that only one matching |
| device will be found in the system, such as when doing a lookup by |
| UUID. |
| |
| Debian's e2fsprogs-specific initrd fragment will avoid including |
| unnecessary libraries into the initrd ramdisk by unsetting LD_PRELOAD |
| and LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and filtering out libraries found in |
| /etc/ld.so.preload. (Addresses Debian Bug: #304003) |
| |
| Fixed a potential portability issue in the blkid programs for |
| architectures where the char type is unsigned. (Addresses Sourceforge |
| Bug: #1180585) |
| |
| Fix a bug in filefrag so that it doesn't falsely count an extra |
| discontinuity when the first block found is an indirect block. |
| (Addresses Debian Bug #307607). |
| |
| Fix blkid's recognition of cramfs filesystems, and enhance it to be |
| able to handle cramfs labels. |
| |
| Fix debugfs's stat command to not core dump when a filesystem is not |
| open. |
| |
| Fix e2fsck's handling of error conditions caused by the resize inode |
| claiming blocks that are also used by other inodes, a filesystem |
| corruption which was commonly caused by a bug in Fedora Core 3's |
| resize2fs program. |
| |
| Fixed bug in filefrag which caused it to fail on non-ext2/3 |
| filesystems. (Addresses Debian Bug: #303509) |
| |
| If the superblock last mount time indicates that the system clock may |
| not be accurate, then e2fsck will omit checking inodes' deletion time |
| field for indications of a potential corrupted orphaned inode list. |
| (Previously e2fsck only ommited these LOW_DTIME checks when the |
| superblock's last write time looked insane.) |
| |
| Fixed a IA64 core dump bug in the e2p library which affected dumpe2fs. |
| (Addresses Debian bug #302200) |
| |
| Make the blkid library more paranoid about being run from setgid |
| programs, and to use __secure_getenv() from libc if it is available. |
| |
| Fixed spelling mistakes, typos, and otherwise clarified man pages. |
| (Addresses Debian Bugs: #304591, #304592, #304594, #304597, #304593 |
| and Sourceforge Bug: #1189803) |
| |
| Updated and fixed translations. |
| |
| Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for |
| details. |

| Programmer's notes: |
| ------------------- |
| |
| Ext2fs_set_bit(), ext2fs_clear_bit(), and ext2fs_test_bit( have been |
| changed to take an unsigned int for the bit number. Negative bit |
| numbers were never allowed (and didn't make any sense), so this should |
| be a safe change. This is needed to allow safe use of block numbers |
| greater than or equal to 2**31. |
