      1 E2fsprogs 1.43.2 (September 1, 2016)
      2 ====================================
      3 
      4 Fix resize2fs so it will not crash if there is an extended attribute
      5 block but it doesn't need to migrate any blocks during an off-line
      6 resize
      7 
      8 Fix a crash when mke2fs or debugfs tries to copy in a directory
      9 hierarchy containing an empty directory
     10 
     11 Mke2fs will now use a larger journal by default for filesystems
     12 greater than 128 GB.  (1GB instead of 128 MB.)
     13 
     14 Fix an alignment bug in e2fsck which caused sparc64 architectures to
     15 crash when replaying the journal on file systems with a 64-bit block
     16 number.
     17 
     18 Clarify the message printed by tune2fs message when the user needs to
     19 run e2fsck so it's clear that the -f flag to e2fsck is needed to
     20 force a full e2fsck scan.  (Addresses Debian Bug: #828022)
     21 
     22 Fix a bug in e2fsck caused by a power failure during e2fsck's journal
     23 replay could leave the file system in a state where if the file system
     24 is mounted without doing a full e2fsck scan, the file system could get
     25 corrupted
     26 
     27 Fix the logic in e2fsck which decides when to repair legacy negative
     28 timestamp encodings.
     29 
     30 Add a command to debugfs to copy the inode structure from one inode to
     31 another.
     32 
     33 Fix a typo in debugfs's stat command when printing out the dtime field
     34 on file systems with an extended timestamp.
     35 
     36 Fix big endian bugs in the e2undo program.  (Addresses Red Hat Bug
     37 #1344636)
     38 
     39 Debugfs's logdump can now properly handle journals larger than 2GB.
     40 
     41 Avoid installing the man page for fuse2fs if it has not been built.
     42 
     43 Update the Catalan, Chinese, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Polish,
     44 Swedish, Ukrainian translations and added new translations for
     45 Hungarian and Serbian.

     48 Programming notes
     49 -----------------
     50 
     51 Fix portability problems in fuse2fs.  Previously it wouldn't build on
     52 systems with older glibc versions where clock_gettime() is only
     53 available in the librt library, and if libintl is not bundled into the
     54 C library.
     55 
     56 Remove complicated logic which caused a static code analyzer to flag a
     57 false positive.  (A static code analyzer also found a valid bug in
     58 deciding when to repair a legacy negative timestamp encoding, so
     59 eliminating false positives is important.)
     60 
     61 Fixed a bug where the ext2fs library cloud provoke when a
     62 extfs2_zero_blocks() is used (via fallocation, initializing a file
     63 system, uninitialized uninitialized inode table blocks) after a
     64 different file system which also used ext2fs_zero_blocks().
     65 
     66 Enable the unix_io manager in the ext2fs library so it can accept the
     67 use of a file descriptor.  This is helpful in cases where the file
     68 descriptor comes from temporary file created using O_TMPFILE, or
     69 passed in from a unix domain socket.
     70 
     71 Fix a Windows64 portability bug.
