202 flex_bg so they are contiguous. This reduces free space
203 fragmentation in a freshly created file system, as well as allowing

472 nodes of an inode's extent tree
473 * Fixed a potential memory corruption failure in e2fsck's error path if
474 the call to ext2fs_open2() fails.
475 * Fixed e2fsck if its logging function is enabled in e2fsck.conf, and
476 the resulting file name for the log file is longer than 100 bytes,
477 that it properly handles this situation instead of crashing.
478 * E2fsck will now report the amount of memory that it attempted to
479 allocate when a memory allocation request fails, to make it easier to
480 track down the problem.
481 * Fixed a bug in resize2fs which could cause severe file system
482 corruption when growing an ext4 file system which was formatted with
483 fewer-than-normal reserved gdt blocks
484 * Fixed resize2fs to be able to handle off-line resizes of file
485 systems with the flex_bg feature and without any reserved gdt
486 blocks or if the file system did not have the resize_inode feature
487 * Further optimize resize2fs so it doesn't use quite as much CPU when
488 resizing very large file systems.
489 * Fixed 32-bit overflow bugs which could cause resize2fs to fail and
490 possibly corrupt the file system while resizing 64-bit file systems.
491 * Fixed a big which could cause resize2fs to corrupt bigalloc file systems.
492 * Fix a crash while mke2fs is parsing "-E resize=NNN" with the 64bit
493 file system feature enabled
494 * Added better error checking to mke2fs to check for invalid
495 parameters when creating bigalloc file system.
496 * When creating bigalloc filesystems, the -g option to mke2fs will now
497 specify the number of clusters per block group.
498 * Added the "symlink", "zap_block", "block_dump", and "extent_open"
500 * Fixed debugfs's htree command so that all its messages are sent
502 * Fixed debugfs's dump_file and cat functions so they work correctly
503 on file systems with a block size greater than 8k.
504 * Fixed mke2fs's handling of the mmp_update_interval option
505 * Fixed e2freefrag so it works on 64-bit file systems, and so it uses
507 * E2image can now include all data blocks in the e2image output
508 file when the user specifies the -a option.
509 * Fixed debugfs's mknod command so that it updates the block group

554 * New upstream version
555 * Mark the e2fsprogs package as Multi-Arch: foreign, so if a package
556 foo:i386 depends on e2fsprogs and is installed on an amd64 system,
557 the native e2fsprogs will satisfy the dependency. (Closes: #678395)

559 init script) to hang (Closes: #682592)
560 * Fix a problem if e2fsck where if the root file system is mounted
561 read-only, e2fsck would not clear an error indication in the journal
562 superblock. Combined with a kernel bug, this would cause the e2fsck
563 to check the file system after every single boot

574 * Fix tune2fs so that it correctly removes the quota feature when
575 the last quota inode is removed.
576 * Fix tune2fs so that after removing a quota inode, the block bitmap
577 is updated; otherwise, e2fsck would complain after running 'tune2fs
579 * Fix tune2fs so that when converting a file system from using legacy
580 quota files to the new quota file system feature with hidden quota
581 files, the accounting for these files is handled correctly so that
582 e2fsck doesn't complain.

667 problems that were found and fixed directly.
668 * E2fsck can now limit the number of messages issued and printed on

1016 rejects them as invalid.
1017 * Fixed a bug in e2fsck which could cause it to crash when trying to
1018 remove an invalid extent and the block bitmaps hadn't yet been loaded.
1019 * E2fsck will now completely skip time-based checks if the system

1023 with a 4T file created using posix_fallocate()
1024 * E2fsck will now correctly mark a sparse journal as invalid and will
1025 delete and recreate the journal to address the problem.
1026 * Fixed e2fsck not to ask permission from the user to abort if it's
1027 going to abort regardless of what the user is going to say...
1028 * E2fsck can now continue even if it fails to recreate the resize inode
1029 * E2fsck will now avoid removing directory entries for inods found in
1030 the unused region of the inode table until after it restarts the fs
1031 check to avoid removing valid data.
1032 * E2fsck will now longer try to set the block group checksums if it

1056 to hopefully dissuade users from thinking, "surely that message
1057 doesn't apply to *me*" :-(
1058 * e2fsck -n will now always open the file system read-only. We now
1059 disallow certain combination of options which previously were manual
1060 exceptions; this is bad because it causes users to think they are
1061 smarter than they really are. So "-n -c", "-n -l", "-n -L", and
1062 "-n -D" are no longer supported.
1063 * If the partition is badly aligned, have mke2fs just print a warning
1064 message and continue. Previously mke2fs would ask to confirm, and

1067 for ext4 to be _very_ slow.
1068 * E2fsck now understands the EOFBLOCKS_FL flag which will be used in
1069 2.6.34 kernels to make e2fsck not complain about blocks deliberately
1070 fallocated() beyond an inode's i_size.

1099 * E2fsck was depending on i_size to be correct to detect and fix
1100 certain directory problems before actually fixing the
1101 directory's i_size. This caused certain rare corruptions to
1102 require two runs of e2fsck to address.

1105 * Fix e2fsck to find and correct duplicate directory entries in
1106 non-indexed directories.

1118 when huge_file file system feature is set, but the inode does not
1119 have the HUGE_FILE_FL flag set.
1120 * Change e2fsck to accept superblock times to be fudged by up to 24
1121 hours by default. Most distributions have fixed their init scripts,
1122 but apparently now they have buggy virtualization scripts. :-( I
1123 give up, too many buggy user space set ups out there. (Closes: #557636)
1124 * Fix e2fsck to correctly print > 32-bit i_blocks numbers in problem reports

1128 it to populate the superblock stride and stripe sizes and warn if
1129 the block device is misaligned

1155 table needs to be moved.
1156 * Fix e2fsck to handle moving inode tables in FLEX_BG filesystems more
1157 gracefully by looking in the entire flex_bg for space, instead of
1158 just in the block group; if that doesn't work, try looking for
1159 space in the entire filesystem.
1160 * Fix the filefrag code to avoid printing the extent header if it
1161 needs to fallback to using the FIBMAP ioctl.
1162 * Fix filefrag to print the correct number of extents for zero-length
1163 files when using FIBMAP. (Closes: #540376)
1164 * Add a filefrag -B option to make it easier to debug the FIBMAP

1167 * Add a new program, e2freefrag, which displays information about the
1168 free space fragmentation in an ext2/3/4 filesystem.
1169 * E2fsck will now print much fuller information when the last mount
1170 time or last written time is in the future, since most people can't
1171 seem to believe their distribution has buggy init scripts, or they
1172 have a failed CMOS/RTS clock battery.

1347 * Fix spelling mistake in Debian changelog (Closes: #502323)
1348 * Fix blkid to deal with an ext3 filesystem with the test_fs flag
1349 * Fix debugfs's ncheck output to suppress extra characters at the end
1351 * Tune2fs now updates the block group checksums after changing the
1353 * Speed up tune2fs's inode resizing code so it is no longer vastly
1354 inefficient for moderate to large filesystems
1355 * Fix dumpe2fs so it doesn't attempt to print the inline journal
1356 information on filesystems with an external journal
1357 * Update the Catalan translation
1358 * Filter out linux-vdso.so lines when determining the library
1359 dependencies while building the initial ramdisk (Closes: #503057)
1360 * Fix e2fsck so an errant INODE_UNINIT flag set in a block group
1361 doesn't cause e2fsck to abort.
1362 * E2fsck now distinguishes between fragmented directories and
1363 fragmented files in verbose mode statistics and in the fragcheck
1365 * Avoid double-counting non-contiguous extent-based inodes in the
1366 verbose mode statistics.
1367 * E2fsck now leaves slack space when repacking directories so that a
1368 few new directory entries won't cause leaf nodes to become split
1370 * E2fsck was previously not handling the case of a corrupted interior
1371 node in the extent tree, and would crash in that case. It now will
1372 handle this and related failures robustly.
1373 * E2fsck problem descriptions involving the journal are no longer
1374 referred to as "ext3" problems, since ext4 filesystems also have
1376 * Fix a long-standing bug in e2fsck which would cause it to crash when
1377 replying journals for filesystems with block sizes greater than 8k.
1378 * Fix a regression in debugfs's logdump command so it works for
1379 filesystems with 32-bit block numbers. This was accidentally broken
1380 when the header files were changed to support the 64-bit block numbers.
1381 * Fix resize2fs for ext4 filesystems. Some blocks that that need moving
1382 when shrinking filesystems with uninit_bg feature would not be
1383 moved. In addition, blocks and inode table blocks were not being
1384 correctly freed when shrinking filesystems with the flex_bg feable,
1385 which caused resize2fs -M to fail. Finally, when blocks are moved,
1386 make sure the uninitialized flag in extents is preserved.
1387 * Add mkfs.ext4 symlink to the e2fsprogs-udeb package (Closes: #511207)

1389 size to shrink the filesystem in case some extent allocation trees
1390 * Add a "set -e" to uuid-runtime's prerm script to make Lintian happy
1391 * The blkid library will now recognize btrfs filesystems and swap
1392 devices currently used by user-level software suspend.
1393 * tune2fs will not allow changing the inode size for filesystems that
1394 have the flex_bg feature enabled, since the code currently assumes
1395 the each block group's portion inode table is located in its own
1397 * Fix tune2fs -I so it won't corrupt ext3/ext4 filesystem configured
1398 for RAID storage devices.
1399 * Mke2fs now understands a -U option which allows the UUID to be
1400 specified for the new filesystem.
1401 * Mke2fs will now treat devices with exactly 16TB as if they have 16TB
1402 minus one block, since many users expect ext4 to support 16TB
1403 devices, and the true maximum size is 16TB-1.
1404 * E2fsck will now flag filesystems that have an insane s_first_ino
1405 field in their superblock.

1776 * Fix debian/control and debian/rules so that they work correctly
1777 after a change in dpkg-gencontrol's behavior after version 1.14.16
1778 of dpkg. This fixes bad version dependencies for comerr-dev,
1779 uuid-dev and ss-dev. Thanks to Don Armstrong for the explanation and
1780 Margarity Manterola for a proposed patch. (Closes: #463058)

1784 e2fsprogs (1.40.5-1) unstable; urgency=low
1786 * New upstream release.
1787 * Mke2fs will now create new filesystems with 256 byte inodes and the
1788 ext_attr feature flag by default. This allows for much better
1789 future compatibity with ext4 and speeds up extended attributes
1790 even on ext3 filesystems.
1791 * Teach mke2fs and tune2fs to set a "test_fs" flag, which indicates
1792 that it is ok to use the filesystem on in-development kernel
1793 code (i.e., ext4dev)
1794 * E2fsck now optimizes non-htree directories by sorting them by inode
1796 * Add support for detecting HFS+ and ext4/ext4dev filesystems in blkid
1797 * Fix blkid's ntfs UUID handling so it is compatible with vol_id
1798 * Avoid a floating point exception when blkid tries to probe a corrpt
1799 reiserfs filesystem.
1800 * Fix potential overflow problem in e2image if the device name is
1802 * Cause e2image to exit immediately with an error message on a disk
1804 * Fix a minor typos in the resize2fs and uuidd manpages.
1805 * E2fsck will no longer backup superblocks when the kernel makes
1806 certain "safe" feature set changes behind the user's back.
1807 * Fix debugfs's lsdel command so it works on large files
1808 * Allow a user to undelete an inode with linking to a destination
1810 * Update Swedish translation file from the Translation Project
1811 * The libuuid1 and uuid-runtime packages requires passwd package, so
1812 declare it as a dependency. (Closes: #459403)
1813 * Fix a FTBFS problem on x86_64 caused by the fact that dietlibc
1814 doesn't provide llseek on the x86_64. (Closes: #459614)
1815 * Don't use dietlibc on platforms that don't support it (Closes: #459475)

1819 e2fsprogs (1.40.4-1) unstable; urgency=low
1821 * Make sure that programs like tune2fs, when modifying a mounted
1822 filesystem do not write the backup superblocks with the
1823 NEEDS_RECOVERY flag, to avoid e2fsck from needlessly forcing a
1824 full fsck because it thinks the feature flags need to be backed up
1825 from the master to the backup superblocks. (Closes: #454926)
1826 * Improve time-based UUID generation to guarantee uniqueness even when
1827 UUID's are being generated at very high rates on SMP systems. To
1828 do this we use an optional setuid helper daemon (uuidd) which is
1829 started by libuuid when it is needed. The uuidd daemon is
1830 packaged in the (new) uuid-runtime package, which now also includes
1831 the uuidgen program (which had been previously been included as
1832 part of the e2fsprogs package).
1833 * Fix fsck to only treat '#' characters at the beginning of /etc/fstab
1834 lines as starting a comment. This avoids spurious warnings printed
1835 for filesystems such as fuse that often use '#' as part of the
1836 filesystem specifier (i.e., wdfs#https://dav.hoster.com/foo).
1837 * Enhance the blkid program to pretty-print control and meta
1838 characters to avoid garbage filesystem labels from screwing up the
1840 * Fix potential integer overflows passed to malloc() in resize2fs
1841 * Update Dutch, Polish, and Vietnamese translations from the
1842 Translation Project. Remove the Rwandan translation upon advice
1843 of the Translation Project.
1844 * Fix cross-compilation support for non-Linux architectures
1845 (Closes: #451172, #437720)
1846 * Clarified and improved man pages (Closes: #444883, #441872)
1847 * Fix potential divide by zero error when libblkid tried probing an
1848 invalid FAT filesystem.
1849 * Make error_message() in libcom_err DTRT when when a 64-bit sign-extended
1850 error code is passed to it.
1851 * Build the e2fsck-static package so that e2fsck.static will not use
1852 TLS and hence will run correctly on back-level Debian systems
1853 using a 2.4 Linux kernel. (Closes: #458017)

3151 broken in several programs.

3521 (BUILD_CC): Discover a native compiler if we are cross-compling
3522 (used for util/subst).
3523 - Include linux/types.h instead of asm/types.h, so that
3524 non-Linux platforms use the stubbed version provided with this
3526 - misc/Makefile.in (findsuper): Add a rule so that findsuper gets built
3527 with the right compiler flags.
