(Addresses Debian bug #207082) + +Fixed a bug in e2fsck which caused it to incorrectly fix a filesystem +when reconnecting a directory requires creating a lost+found +directory. (Addresses Debian bug #219640). + +Fixed a bug where e2fsck would bomb out if a journal needed to be +replayed when using an alternate superblock. + +E2fsck will give an extra grace period before actually forcing a check +if the laptop is running on battery. The next time fsck runs while +the system is on the AC mains, or after the grace period is exceeded, +the filesystem will be checked. (Addresses Debian bug #205177) + +E2fsck will inform the user when there are 5 or fewer mounts before a +filesystem check will be forced. (Addresses Debian bug #157194) + +Fix e2fsck's handling of corrupted indirect blocks in the bad block. +We now correctly handle the case where there is an overlap between a +block group descriptor or a superblock and a bad block indirect block. +In the case where the indirect block is corrupted, we now suggest +"e2fsck -c". + +Fix byte swap bugs in e2fsck that caused the journal backup location +in the superblock and symlinks created by SE Linux to be cleared +by e2fsck on big-endian machines. (Addresses Debian bug #228723) + +E2fsck -c now replaces the current list of bad blocks with the ones +found by badblocks. + +Fix bugs in e2fsck and tune2fs which could cause a core dump if a +non-existent LABEL or UUID specifier is to e2fsck or tune2fs. + +Fix a potential bug in e2fsck which could cause it to core dump when +trying to print the location of the backup superblock. + +Protect against a potential core dump in e2fsck when printing a +message about backup superblocks. + +Add support for backing up the journal inode location in the +superblock. E2fsck will automatically save the journal information in +the superblock if it is not there already, and will use it if the +journal inode appears to be corrupted. ext2fs_add_journal_inode() +will also save the backup information, so that new filesystems created +by mke2fs and filesystems that have journals added via tune2fs will +also have journal location written to the superblock as well. +Debugfs's logdump command has been enhanced so that it can use the +journal information in the superblock. + +E2fsck will now update all superblocks when moving the journal inode. + +Shrink the size of the e2fsck executable by moving some initialized +variables to the BSS segment. + +E2fsck will avoid printing the ^A and ^B characters which bracket the +progress bar when stdout and stdin are a tty device instead of a pipe +to another program. (Addresses Debian bug #204137) + +Debugfs's mkdir command will automatically expand the directory if +necessary. (Addresses Debian Bug: #217892) + +Fixed a bug in debugfs so that copying a file from /dev/null uses the +correct mode bits. (Addresses Debian Bug: #217456) + +If the environment variables DEBUFS_PAGER and PAGER are not set, +debugfs now searches for the appropriate pager to use, beginning with +/usr/bin/pager, and then falling back to 'more' and 'less'. +(Addresses Debian bug #221977) + +Debugfs will now support 2.6 device numbers where the major or minor +number may be larger than 255. (Addresses Sourceforge bug #865289) + +Fix debugging printf in resize2fs. (Addresses Debian Bug #271605) + +Chattr now stops processing options when it sees '--'. (Addresses +Debian bug #225188) + +Fix regression tests so they work correctly when e2fsprogs is compiled +with configure --disable-htree. + +Fix bug in uuid library when there is no network card and the library +is generating a time-based uuid. The random MAC address was not +correctly generated to be a multicast address. + +Add compile_et extensions from Heimdall that were missed the first time +around. + +Fix bug in badblocks when using O_DIRECT; we need to make sure that +we're reading from an offset which is page aligned. For read-only and +read-write tests, we try to recover after an error so that we can +continue reading on page-aligned boundaries. (Addresses Debian Bug +#203713) + +Badblocks now checks 64 blocks at a time instead of 16. (Addresses +Debian bug #232240) + +Updated and clarified various man pages. (Addresses Debian Bug +#206845, #222606, #214920, #232406) + +Updated and fixed translations. (Addresses Debian bugs #200086, #214633) + +Fixed various Debian packaging issues (see debian/changelog). + +Programmer's notes: +------------------- + +Fixed a build problem so that e2fsprogs would compile with the +--enable-profile option to configure selected. (Addresses Sourceforge +bug #811408) + +Fixed C++ problems with the ext2fs.h header. (Addresses Red Hat +Bugzilla Bug #112448) + +Centralize code which calculates the location of the superblock +and block group descriptors so that it is in a single library routine. + +Added two new functions, ext2fs_file_open2() and +ext2fs_inode_io_intern2() which take a pointer to an inode structure. + +Fix compile_et to output the correct prototype for +initialize_xxx_err_table_r() in the header file. (Addresses Debian +bug #204332) + +In the lib/et makefile, make sure com_err.info is deleted on "make clean". + +Fix 64-bit warnings in e2fsprogs pass1b by using inttypes.h if +present. This is for when we try stuffing an int into void * pointer. + +Fix type-punning which can cause gcc 3.x to miscompile code by getting +confused about pointer aliasing. ext2fs_getmem(), ext2fs_free_mem(), +and ext2fs_resize_mem() all now take a 'void *' instead of a 'void +**'. The EVMS code uses an ugly union approach since we don't want to +modify the EVMS interfaces. + +Make sure all Makefiles use $(MAKE) rather than hardcoded "make", to +aid build process on systems can use invoke GNU make as "gmake". + +Added regression testing for mke2fs. + +Fixed gcc -Wall nitpicks. + +Fixed various compiler warnings. + +Add portability fixes for FreeBSD and for using fsctl under Darwin to +support ext2 ioctl's. + |
