This +compat feature was first supported in the v5.15 Linux kernel. + +The mke2fs program (via the mke2fs.conf file) now enables the +metadata_csum_seed and orphan_file features by default. The +metadata_csum_seed feature is an incompat feature which is first +supported in the Linux kernel starting in the 4.4 kernel and e2fsprogs +1.43. + +Mke2fs now supports the extended option "assume_storage_prezeroed" which +causes mke2fs to skip zeroing the journal and inode tables and to mark +the inode tables as zeroed. + +Add support to tune2fs and e2label to set the label and UUID for a +mounted file system using a ioctl, which is more reliable than modifying +the superblock via writing to the block device. The kernel support for +setting the label landed in v5.17, while the support for adding the UUID +landed in v6.0. If the ioctls are not supported, tune2fs and e2label +will fall back old strategy of directly modifying the superblock. + +Allow tune2fs to disable the casefold feature after scanning all of the +directories do not have the Casefold flag set. + + +Fixes +----- + +Fix a potential unbalanced mutex unlock when there is a short read while +using the bounce buffer when using direct I/O. + + +Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. +-------------------------------------------------------------- + +Fix various Coverity and compiler warnings. + +Add the new function ext2fs_xattrs_read_inode() which takes an in-memory +inode to avoid needing to reread an inode that was already read into +memory. + +Teach debugfs logdump command the -n option which forces printing a +specified number of transactions, even when a block missing a magic +number would have stopped the logdump. (This is for debugging +journalling problems.) |
