1 E2fsprogs 1.43.4 (January 31, 2017) 2 =================================== 3 4 Fix e2fsck to require that the system.data extended attribute is 5 always present even for files smaller than 60 bytes, to be consistent 6 with the kernel. 7 8 Fix a bug which was causing mke2fs -d and fuse2fs to improperly handle 9 Posix ACL's. 10 11 Fix a bug which could cause mke2fs -d to fail if there is an 12 zero-length file in source directory tree. 13 14 Clarify the default for the "proceed?" question printed by mke2fs and 15 tune2fs. (Addresses Debian Bug: #852727) 16 17 Debugfs will now display project quota information. 18 19 Debugfs's do_set_xattr now uses C strings to parse extended attribute 20 values, and will print the extended attributes using either C strings 21 or hex bytes when using debugfs's do_get_xattr command. It will now 22 allow developers to see the contents of the system.data extended 23 attribute. 24 25 Fix a bug in mke2fs where I/O errors weren't getting properly reported 26 to the user. 27 28 Fix multiblock writes in the unaligned Direct I/O fallback code. 29 (Which is rarely needed on Linux systems, but which is required on 30 Freebsd systems.) 31 32 Make sure the default mke2fs.conf file includes the uninit_bg feature 33 flag. (Which was accidentally dropped in v1.43). 34 35 Fix a bug in resize2fs when operating on very large file systems which 36 have a block size different from the VM page size. 37 38 If the reported device size is absurdly large, mke2fs will now report 39 an error instead looping forever or crashing. 40 41 Fix various Coverity warnings and other memory leaks in fuse2fs and 42 extended attribute manipulation functions. 43 44 Replace a test file but which had a "non-commercial use-only" 45 copyright permission file with a newer version from the Cyrus imapd 46 package which now has a 4-clause BSD license, which was making some 47 lawyers nervous, even though the test file in question was only used 48 in lib/et's regression testing and was never included in any compiled 49 binary. (Addresses Debian Bug: #840733) 50 51 Stop installing mkfs.ext4dev and fsck.ext4dev 52 53 Update Chinese, Czech, Polish, Serbian, and Spanish translations and 54 add the Finnish and Malay translation. (Addresses-Debian-Bug: #774379) 55 56 Update various man pages (Addresses-Debian-Bug: #852726) 57 58 Programming notes 59 ----------------- 60 61 Fix more FreeBSD-11 compatibility bugs, including some unmasked by 62 FreeBSD 11-rc2. 63 64 Fix the Mac build. 65 66 Fix build failure on RHEL 5.x systems caused by an old version of 67 libmagic. 68 69 Fix a number of bugs reported by ASAN that can cause some (mostly 70 harmless) memory dereferences beyond allocated memory. 71 72
