For example, using the default inode +ratio size of 16k, this will allow a successful resize to 64TB - 128MB +when the storage device is 64TB. + + +Fixes +----- + +Avoid a potential infinite loop in resize2fs -P when the file system is +corrupted (introduced in e2fsprogs 1.45.5). (Addresses github issue +https://github.com/tytso/e2fsprogs/issues/94) + +E2fsck now updates the bg_checksum after fixing problems in the block +group descriptor, which eliminates some unnecessary messages printed or +asked of the system administrator. + +Fixed some potential deadlock problems in the unix_io handler in the case +of I/O errors. The fix should also improve the performance of parallel +bitmap loading. + +Fixed e2fsck's fast commit handling which could result it in crashing +when trying to merge extents when there were none available to be +merged. + +Fix e2fsck's support of quota limit data, which could sometimes get +dropped when the quota data needs to be regenerated, or when processing +the orphan list. + +Fix tune2fs to correctly transfer the quota limits when converting quota +files to the internal quota inodes. Also add support for tune2fs to +properly handle the older version 0 quota files. + +Fix debugfs's get_quota and list_quota commands so that the header of +the report printed by these commands correctly reflect that the units of +used space is in bytes instead of blocks. + + +Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. +-------------------------------------------------------------- + +Add some additional packages to the setup-schroot script to account for +the fact that the script can be run on older Debian distributions and so +the build dependencies might omit some packages needed to build +e2fsprogs on unstable version of Debian. + +Reduce resize2fs's CPU overhead when counting the number of blocks in +use which can reduce the wall clock time for very large file systems +by substantial amount. + +Teach libuuid to use getrandom() or getentropy() if available in favor +of reading from /dev/[u]random. + +Teach libss to use libreadline.so.8 if it is available. + +Update some test expect files to fix some regression tests that were +broken in e2fsprogs 1.46.4. + +If the PRINT_FAILED environment variable is set, failed tests will +display the diff output to make it easier to debug test failures on +autobuilders. + +Fix various compiler warnings. + +Update tst_getsize to use ext2fs_get_size2() to support testing devices +which are larger than 2**32 sectors. + +Fixed spelling mistakes in the mke2fs.conf man page. + +Update Chinese, Malay, Serbian, Spanish, Swedish, and Ukrainian +translations. + |
