E2fsprogs 1.40.11 (June 17, 2008)
|
|
=================================
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs, tune2fs, and resize2fs now use floating point to calculate the
|
|
percentage of reserved blocks. (Addresses Debian Bug: #452639)
|
|
|
|
Updated Spanish and Catalan translations.
|
|
|
|
Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for
|
|
details. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #483962, #483023)
|
|
|
|
Add detection for ZFS volumes to the libblkid library.
|
|
|
|
Fixed spelling mistakes, typos, and otherwise clarified man pages.
|
|
(Addresses Debian Bug: #486463)
|
|
|
|
Programmer's notes:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Fix marginal C code in probe_lvm2() function to the blkid library more
|
|
portable for older compilers.
|
|
|
|
Fix build problems on MacOS X. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1972473)
|
|
|
|
Fix ext2fs_swap{16,32,64} functions so they can be used by external
|
|
applications on big-endian machines. (Addresses Debian Bug: #484879)
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.40.10 (May 21, 2008)
|
|
================================
|
|
|
|
When deciding whether or not to revalidate a blkid cache entry, if the
|
|
device's mtime is newer than the last time the cached entry was
|
|
validated, force a revalidation.
|
|
|
|
Fix a potential data corruption bug in e2fsck in the journal replay.
|
|
The chances of this is happening is extremely remote, especially the
|
|
default data=ordered or data=writeback modes. However, if a block
|
|
which has been journalled starts with the first four bytes 0xc03b3998,
|
|
when e2fsck replays the journal, those four bytes will be replaced
|
|
with zero's. Fortunately, it is highly, highly unlikely for e2fsck
|
|
metadata to begin with those fatal 4 byte sequence, and unless
|
|
data=ordered mode is in use, data blocks are never journalled.
|
|
|
|
Updated German, Dutch, Swedish, and Vietnamese translations.
|
|
|
|
Programmer's notes:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for
|
|
details.
|
|
|
|
Remove default sizes of types when cross compiling, since autoconf
|
|
2.50 can figure this out automatically now.
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.40.9 (April 27, 2008)
|
|
=================================
|
|
|
|
SuSE's security team audited uuidd and came up with a few minor
|
|
issues. None of them are serious given that uuidd runs setuid as a
|
|
unprivileged user which has no special access other than libuuid
|
|
directory, but it's good to get them fixed.
|
|
|
|
One additional fix in ext2fs_swap_inode_full() needed for resize2fs to
|
|
work correctly with in-inode extended attributes.
|
|
|
|
Updated German, Czech, Dutch, French, Polish, Swedish, and Vietnamese
|
|
translations.
|
|
|
|
Debugfs will avoid using a pager if the standard output is not a tty.
|
|
|
|
Fix debugfs and tune2fs to correctly handle daylight savings time when
|
|
parsing a time string.
|
|
|
|
Fixed spelling mistakes, typos, and otherwise clarified man pages.
|
|
|
|
Fix fsck completion bars when multiple filesystems were being checked
|
|
in parallel. (Addresses Debian Bug: #432865, Addresses Launchpad Bug:
|
|
#203323, Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1926023)
|
|
|
|
Fix fsck so that progress information is sent back correctly when
|
|
multiple filesystems are being check and the output of fsck is being
|
|
redirected to a file descriptor. Also, include the device name (w/o
|
|
spaces) in the progress information sent back via a file descriptor.
|
|
(Addresses Launchpad Bug: #203323, Addresses Sourceforge Bug:
|
|
#1926023)
|
|
|
|
Teach fsck to treat "ext4" and "ext4dev" as ext* filesystems.
|
|
|
|
If logsave receives a SIGTERM or SIGINT signal, it will now pass that
|
|
signal to its child process.
|
|
|
|
Fix mke2fs's creation of are resize inode when there is a non-standard
|
|
s_first_data_block setting.
|
|
|
|
Fix bug in blkid when run by an unprivileged user; most devices were
|
|
not reported correctly. 9Addresses Launchpad Bug: #220275)
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs will not allow the logically incorrect combination of
|
|
resize_inode and meta_bg, which had previously caused mke2fs to create
|
|
a corrupt filesystem.
|
|
|
|
Fix fsck in German locales so that a 'j' means yes.
|
|
(Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1947683)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Programmer's notes:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for
|
|
details.
|
|
|
|
Update valgrind options in test_script to work with valgrind 3.2.3
|
|
|
|
Update texinfo.tex to a much newer version from the FSF.
|
|
|
|
Remove bashism for configure script and from the lib/ss Makefile.
|
|
Addresses Sourceforge Bug: 1921969
|
|
|
|
Fix some silently broken tests: m_no_opt, m_meta_bg, and m_raid_opt.
|
|
|
|
Fix build system so that if texinfo is not installed, it won't print a
|
|
(harmless) error message.
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.40.8 (March 13, 2008)
|
|
=================================
|
|
|
|
Fixed e2image -I so it works on image files which are larger than 2GB.
|
|
|
|
Fixed e2fsck's handling of directory inodes with a corrupt size field. If
|
|
the size is larger than the number of blocks found in the inode, don't
|
|
try to allocate extra empty blocks at the end of the directory to make
|
|
up the difference; there's no point to doing that. In addition, if
|
|
the size is not a multiple of a blocksize, always fix it.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck handled a pass 2 "should never happen error" by not giving
|
|
enough information and then core dumping. Unfortunately, it was all
|
|
too easy to trigger the "should never happen" situation if a
|
|
directory's inode size was not correct. This has been fixed, but
|
|
e2fsck has also been taught how to handle this situation more
|
|
gracefully, by simply removing the inode hash tree information, so
|
|
that it can be rebuilt again after e2fsck's pass 3. (Addresses
|
|
Launchpad Bug: #129395)
|
|
|
|
Resize2fs had a bug resizing large inodes with extended attributes
|
|
that was fixed in 1.40.6; unfortunately, it turned out it wasn't fixed
|
|
completely on big-endian systems such as PowerPC. The bug should be
|
|
completely fixed now. Yay for regression test suites. (Addresses Red
|
|
Hat Bugzilla: #434893)
|
|
|
|
Updated German, Czech, Dutch, Polish, Swedish, and Vietnamese
|
|
translations. Many thanks to Philipp Thomas from Novell for stepping
|
|
up to become the new German translation maintainer! (Addresses Debian
|
|
Bugs: #302512, #370247, #401092, #412882).
|
|
|
|
When e2fsck is clearing a corrupt inode's HTREE directory information,
|
|
make it clear that it is just clearing the HTREE information, not the
|
|
entire inode.
|
|
|
|
Fixed spelling mistakes, typos, and otherwise clarified man pages.
|
|
|
|
Programmer's notes
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Add new functions, ext2fs_dblist_get_last() and
|
|
ext2fs_dblist_drop_last(), which allows the caller to examine the last
|
|
directory block entry added to the list, and to drop if it necessary.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a portability problem in libblkid with DJGPP.
|
|
|
|
Fix an obvious typo in an "internal error" message in e2fsck. Thanks
|
|
to Philipp Thomas for pointing this out.
|
|
|
|
If the info files are not built, change "make install" so it doesn't
|
|
fail with an error code.
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.40.7 (February 28, 2008)
|
|
====================================
|
|
|
|
Remove support for clearing the SPARSE_SUPER feature from tune2fs, and
|
|
depreciate the -s option, since it can result in filesystems which
|
|
e2fsck can't fix easily. There are very good reasons for wanting to
|
|
disable sparse_super; users who wants to turn off sparse_super can use
|
|
debugfs. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1840286)
|
|
|
|
Add missing options to mke2fs's usage message. (Addresses Sourceforge
|
|
Bug: #1751393)
|
|
|
|
Fix bug in resize2fs when large (greater than 128 byte) inodes are
|
|
moved when a filesystem is shrunk; it was only moving the first 128
|
|
bytes, so extended attributes were not getting moved. (Addresses Red
|
|
Hat Bugzilla: #434893)
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now prints an explicit message when the bad block inode is
|
|
updated, to avoid confusion about why the filesystem was modified.
|
|
(Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #756460)
|
|
|
|
Allow mke2fs and tune2fs manipulate the large_file feature.
|
|
Previously we just let the kernel and e2fsck do this automatically,
|
|
but e2fsck will no longer automatically clear the large_file feature.
|
|
It still isn't really necessary to worry about this feature flag
|
|
explicitly, but some users seem to care. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla:
|
|
#258381)
|
|
|
|
Suppress message about an old-style fstab if the fstab file is empty.
|
|
(Addresses Debian Bug: #468176)
|
|
|
|
Fix (really minor) bug in debugfs's find_free_block so it avoids
|
|
reporting a free block more than once if there are too few free blocks
|
|
in the filesystem. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1096315)
|
|
|
|
Change e2fsck to no longer clear the LARGE_FILES feature flag
|
|
automatically, when there are no more > 2GB files in the filesystem.
|
|
It's been almost a decade since there have been kernels that don't
|
|
support this flag, and e2fsck clears it quietly without telling the
|
|
user why the filesystem has been changed.
|
|
|
|
Fix bug which could cause libblkid to seg fault if a device mapper
|
|
volume disappears while it is being probed. (Addresses RedHat
|
|
Bugzilla: #433857)
|
|
|
|
Enhance e2fsck's reporting of unsupported filesystem feature flags.
|
|
(Addresses Sourceforge Feature Request: #1175808)
|
|
|
|
Fix option syntax in dumpe2fs for explicit superblock and blocksize
|
|
parameters. What was currently documented in the man page has been
|
|
broken for some time, due to getopt() implementation changes. The
|
|
option syntax has been changed to one which is can be more portable
|
|
supported and which is consistent with the format for extended options
|
|
in mke2fs and tune2fs. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1830994)
|
|
|
|
Add support to tune2fs to clear the resize_inode feature. This
|
|
requires an fsck afterwards. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: #167816)
|
|
|
|
Teach blkid to detect LVM2 physical volumes. (Addresses Red Hat
|
|
Bugzilla: #409321)
|
|
|
|
Add support for setting RAID stride and stripe-width via mke2fs and
|
|
tune2fs. Teach dumpe2fs to print the RAID parameters.
|
|
|
|
Add support for setting new superblock fields to debugfs's
|
|
set_super_value.
|
|
|
|
Add support for printing "mostly-printable" extended attributes in
|
|
Debugfs.
|
|
|
|
Add support for the -M option to fsck, which causes it to ignore
|
|
mounted filesystem.
|
|
|
|
Fix uuidd so that it creates the pid file with the correct pid number.
|
|
(Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1893244)
|
|
|
|
Fix various gcc -Wall warnings.
|
|
|
|
Update Czech, Dutch, Polish, Swedish, and Vietnamese translations
|
|
|
|
Fixed spelling mistakes, typos, and otherwise clarified man pages.
|
|
(Addresses Sourceforge Patch: #1399325)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Programmer's notes:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for
|
|
details. (Addresses Debian Bug: #466929)
|
|
|
|
Add new flag EXT2_FLAG_NONFREE_ON_ERROR ext2fs_open2() which returns a
|
|
partially filled-in filesystem object on an error, so that e2fsck can
|
|
print more intelligent error messages.
|
|
|
|
Add a new function e2p_edit_feature2() which allows the caller to
|
|
specify which feature flags are OK to set or clear, and which returns
|
|
more specific information about feature flags which are not allowed to
|
|
be set/cleared.
|
|
|
|
Set the C locale in the test_script driver since it uses [A-Za-z].
|
|
(Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1890526)
|
|
|
|
Use fcntl locking instead of lockf in libuuid since Cygwin doesn't
|
|
support lockf().
|
|
|
|
Change configure.in to avoid using the 'dc' command unless it is
|
|
absolutely needed. (i.e., when using parsing a WIP-style version
|
|
number) (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1893024)
|
|
|
|
Add portability checks to support compilation under DJGPP.
|
|
|
|
Update to the latest samba tdb code before the LGPLv3 change, which
|
|
fixes a realloc() leak on failure.
|
|
|
|
Fix memory leak in ext2fs_alloc_block().
|
|
|
|
Fix makefile dependency issues for various install targets.
|
|
(Addresses-Sourceforge-Patches: #1903484, #1903466, #1903456)
|
|
|
|
Improve descriptions for the r_move_itable and r_resize_inode tests.
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.40.6 (February 9, 2008)
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
Add support for returning labels for UDF filesystems in the blkid
|
|
library.
|
|
|
|
Fix bug in the blkid library where cached filesystems was not being
|
|
flushed when opening USB devices returned the error ENOMEDIUM.
|
|
(Addresses Debian Bug: #463787)
|
|
|
|
Added logic to the blkid library to automatically choose whether a
|
|
filesystem should be mounted as ext4 or ext4dev, as appropriate.
|
|
|
|
Allow tune2fs to set and clear the test_fs flag on ext4 filesystems.
|
|
|
|
Fix a bug in e2fsck which caused it to core dump if e2fsprogs had been
|
|
configured with --enable-jbd-debug.
|
|
|
|
Document the BLKID_FILE environment variable in the libblkid man page
|
|
|
|
Programmer's Notes:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Update e2fsprogs translation template and Vietnamese and Czech translations
|
|
|
|
Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for
|
|
details. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #436058)
|
|
|
|
Don't try to create $DESTDIR/etc/init.d as part of make install as we
|
|
don't install the init.d script (and it's not the recommended way to
|
|
start uuidd anyway). (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1885085)
|
|
|
|
Use thread local storage to fix a theoretical race condition if two
|
|
threads try to format an unknown error code at the same time in the
|
|
com_err library.
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.40.5 (January 27, 2008)
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
Fix a potential overflow big in e2image if the device name is too
|
|
long.
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs will now create new filesystems with 256 byte inodes and the
|
|
ext_attr feature flag by default. This allows for much better future
|
|
compatibility with ext4 and speeds up extended attributes even on ext3
|
|
filesystems.
|
|
|
|
Teach e2fsck to ignore certain "safe" filesystem features which are
|
|
set automatically by the kernel. Having the kernel set features
|
|
automagically behind the user's back is a bad idea, and we should try
|
|
to break the kernel of this habit, especially for the newer ext4
|
|
feature flags. But for now, we will try to avoid needless full checks
|
|
which can annoy users who are doing fresh installs.
|
|
|
|
Add support in tune2fs and mke2fs for making a filesystem as being "ok
|
|
to be used with test kernel code". This will be needed for using test
|
|
filesystems with the latest ext4 kernel code.
|
|
|
|
Change e2fsck -fD so that it sorts non-htree directories by inode
|
|
numbers instead of by name, since that optimizes performances much
|
|
more significantly. (Addresses-Sourceforge-Feature-Request: #532439)
|
|
|
|
If e2image fills the disk, fix it so it exits right away instead of
|
|
spewing large numbers of error messages.
|
|
(Addresses-Sourceforge-Feature-Request: #606508)
|
|
|
|
If ftruncate64() is not available for resize2fs, let it use ftrucate()
|
|
instead, but have it check to see if the size would get truncated, and
|
|
skip calling ftruncate in that case.
|
|
|
|
Add support for detecting HFS+ filesystems in the blkid library.
|
|
|
|
Add support in the blkid library for ext4/ext4dev filesystems.
|
|
|
|
Fix a bug in blkid where it could die on a floating point exception
|
|
when presented with a corrupt reiserfs image.
|
|
|
|
Fix blkid's handling of ntfs UUID's so that leading zeros are printed
|
|
such that UUID string is a fixed length.
|
|
|
|
Add sample python bindings for the uuid library to the contrib
|
|
directory. (Addresses-Sourceforge-Patches: #778817)
|
|
|
|
Fix debugfs's 'lsdel' command so it uses ext2fs_block_iterate2 so it
|
|
will work with large files. (Addresses Sourceforge Feature Request:
|
|
#1257500 and Sourceforge Support Request: #1253511)
|
|
|
|
Allow the debugfs 'undel' command to undelete an inode without linking
|
|
it to a specific destination directory, since this might require
|
|
allocating blocks that could overwrite some yet-to-be-recovered
|
|
deleted files. (Addresses-Sourceforge-Feature-Request: #967141)
|
|
|
|
Update Swedish translation from the Translation Project.
|
|
|
|
Programmer's Notes:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Fix configure handling of --sbindir (which should rarely be used, but
|
|
someone did complain, so let's fix it). (Addresses Sourceforge Bug:
|
|
#498381)
|
|
|
|
Updated e2fsprogs.spec file to include a new uuidd package
|
|
|
|
Use pkg-config to determine where to find the devmapper library so we
|
|
can find out where it is located on different distributions.
|
|
|
|
Fix Makefile race so that "make -j3 distclean" works correctly
|
|
|
|
Fix portability problems on non-Linux/non-Hurd/non-Masix systems,
|
|
especially on MacOS X systems. (Addresses Sourceforge Bugs: #1861633,
|
|
#1819034, #1863819)
|
|
|
|
Fixed spelling mistakes, typos, and otherwise clarified man pages.
|
|
|
|
Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for
|
|
details. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #459403, #459475, #459614)
|
|
|
|
Remove the --enable-dynamic-static configure option, and build e2fsck
|
|
dynamically by default. If the user wants e2fsck.static, he/she will
|
|
need to build it via "make -C e2fsck e2fsck.static"
|
|
|
|
Fix various build warnings due to missing prototypes.
|
|
(Addresses Sourceforge Patch: #1861663, #1861659)

|
|
E2fsprogs 1.40.4 (December 31, 2007)
|
|
====================================
|
|
|
|
Improve time-based UUID generation. A new daemon uuidd, is started
|
|
automatically by libuuid if necessary. This daemon is setuid to allow
|
|
updates to /var/lib/libuuid, so the clock sequence number can be
|
|
stored and so if the clock is set backwards, it can be detected.
|
|
(Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1529672, Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla:
|
|
#233471)
|
|
|
|
Filter out the NEEDS_RECOVERY feature flag when writing out the backup
|
|
superblocks. This avoids e2fsck from concluding that a full
|
|
filesystem check is required before backing up the superblock due to
|
|
changes in the feature flags. (Addresses Debian Bug: #454926)
|
|
|
|
Fix fsck to only treat the '#' character as a comment at the beginning
|
|
of the line in /etc/fstab. Otherwise fstabs for the fuse filesystem
|
|
will cause fsck to issue an bogus warning message.
|
|
(Addresses Gentoo bug: #195405, Addresses Sourceforge bug: #1826147)
|
|
|
|
Format control characters and characters with the high eighth bit set
|
|
when printing the contents of the blkid cache, to prevent filesystems
|
|
with garbage labels from sending escape sequences to the user's screen
|
|
that might, for example place it in graphics mode. (Addresses Ubuntu
|
|
Bug: #78087)
|
|
|
|
Fix sign-extension problem on 64-bit systems in in the com_err
|
|
library. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1809658)
|
|
|
|
Avoid division by zero error when probing an invalid FAT filesystem in
|
|
the blkid library. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1831627)
|
|
|
|
Update Dutch, Polish, and Vietnamese translations from the Translation
|
|
Project. Remove the Rwandan translation upon advice of the
|
|
Translation Project.
|
|
|
|
Programmer's Notes:

|
current directory is not in the user's path or if the libss shared
|
|
library is not installed. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1848974)

E2fsprogs 1.40.3 (December 5, 2007)
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
Fix a potential security vulnerability where an untrusted filesystem
|
|
can be corrupted in such a way that a program using libext2fs will
|
|
allocate a buffer which is far too small. This can lead to either a
|
|
crash or potentially a heap-based buffer overflow crash. No known
|
|
exploits exist, but main concern is where an untrusted user who
|
|
possesses privileged access in a guest Xen environment could corrupt a
|
|
filesystem which is then accessed by the pygrub program, running as
|
|
root in the dom0 host environment, thus allowing the untrusted user to
|
|
gain privileged access in the host OS. Thanks to the McAfee AVERT
|
|
Research group for reporting this issue. (Addresses CVE-2007-5497.)
|
|
|
|
Fix heuristics in blkid which could cause a disk without partitions to
|
|
be incorrectly skipped when a loopback device is present. (Addresses
|
|
Red Hat Bugzilla #400321.)
|
|
|
|
Fix e2image so that in raw mode it does not create an image file which
|
|
is one byte too large.
|
|
|
|
Change mke2fs's usage message so it recommends the preferred -E option
|
|
instead of the deprecated -R option.
|
|
|
|
Enhance the blkid library so it will recognize squashfs filesystems.
|
|
(Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla #305151.)
|
|
|
|
Enhance e2fsck so it will force the backup superblocks to be backed up
|
|
if the filesystem is consistent and key constants have been changed
|
|
(i.e., by an on-line resize) or by e2fsck in the course of its
|
|
operations.
|
|
|
|
Enhance blkid's detection of FAT filesystems; so that USB disks with
|
|
only a single bootable partition will not get missed.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will no longer mark a filesystem as invalid if it has time
|
|
errors (i.e., if superblock mount time or last write time is in the
|
|
future) and the user refuses to fix the problem.
|
|
|
|
The Ubuntu init scripts don't properly set the system time correctly
|
|
from hardware clock if the hardware clock is configured to tick local
|
|
time instead of GMT time. Work around this as best as we can by
|
|
providing an option, buggy_init_scripts, in /etc/e2fsck.conf which can
|
|
be set on Ubuntu systems. (Addresses Debian Bug #441093, and Ubuntu
|
|
Bug #131201.)
|
|
|
|
Fix fsck to ignore /etc/fstab entries for bind mounts. (Addresses Red
|
|
Hat Bugzilla #151533.)
|
|
|
|
Fix e2fsck so that if the superblock is corrupt, but still looks
|
|
vaguely like an ext2/3/4 superblock, that it automatically tries to
|
|
fall back to the backup superblock, instead of failing with a hard
|
|
error.
|
|
|
|
Make the e2fsprogs program more robust so that they will not crash
|
|
when opening a corrupt filesystem where s_inode_size is zero.
|
|
|
|
Change e2fsck so it uses sscanf() instead of atoi() so it non-numeric
|
|
arguments are detected as such and the parse error is reported to the
|
|
user. (Addresses Debian Bug #435381.)
|
|
|
|
Change e2fsck so it will not complain if a file has blocks reallocated
|
|
up to the next multiple of a system's page size.
|
|
|
|
Fix bug in ext2fs_check_desc() which will cause e2fsck to complain
|
|
about (valid) filesystems where the inode table extends to the last
|
|
block of the block group. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla #214765.)
|
|
|
|
Fix a bug in ext2fs_initialize() which causes mke2fs to fail while
|
|
allocating inode tables for some relatively rare odd disk sizes.
|
|
(Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla #241767.)
|
|
|
|
Add Catalan translation and update Dutch and Swedish translations
|
|
from the Translation Project.
|
|
|
|
Fix big-endian byte-swapping bug in ext2fs_swap_inode_full(). We
|
|
still had an issue when trying to figure out whether we need to
|
|
byte-swap fast symlinks that contained extended attributes.
|
|
|
|
Fixed spelling mistakes, typos, and otherwise clarified man pages.
|
|
(Addresses SourceForge Bug #1821333.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Programmer's Notes:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Fix mke2fs tests to avoid needing any significant ^M (CR) characters
|
|
|
|
Add "make check" to the RPM spec file
|
|
|
|
Fix "make install" and 'make uninstall" in misc/Makefile.in so that it
|
|
works correctly when the prefix is not the root directory.
|
|
|
|
Fix the resize2fs tests, r_move_itable and r_resize_inode, so they
|
|
clean up after themselves by deleting the test.img temporary file
|
|
after completing the test.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a corner case bug ext2fs_unlink() when trying to delete the
|
|
first directory entry in a directory block and the last directory
|
|
entry in the previous directory block is not in use. Fortunately
|
|
ext2fs_unlink() is only used by debugfs and e2fsck, and in e2fsck in
|
|
places where it is extremely unlikely to run into this corner case.
|
|
|
|
Fix missing dependency which would cause parallel builds to fail.
|
|
(Addresses Sourceforge Bug #1842331.)
|
|
|
|
Fix a build error on newer gcc caused by lib/ext2fs/ismounted.c
|
|
calling open(O_CREATE) with a missing mode parameter.
|
|
|
|
Fix the test_ss.c in lib/ss so it can be used as an example
|
|
application program for the library as well as a regression test
|
|
suite.
|
|
|
|
Fix ext2fs_dblist_dir_iterate() so that error codes and abort codes
|
|
are properly passed back up through the call stack.
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.40.2 (July 12, 2007)
|
|
================================
|
|
|
|
A recent change to e2fsck_add_dir_info() to use tdb files to check
|
|
filesystems with a very large number of filesystems had a typo which
|
|
caused us to resize the wrong data structure. This would cause a
|
|
array overrun leading to malloc pointer corruptions and segfaults.
|
|
Since we normally can very accurately predict how big the the dirinfo
|
|
array needs to be, this bug only got triggered on very badly corrupted
|
|
filesystems.
|
|
|
|
Fix a bug in e2fsck which caused it to incorrectly salvage
|
|
directories when the last entry's rec_len is bogusly too big. This
|
|
resulted in a nonsense filesystem corruption to be reported, and
|
|
required a second run of e2fsck to fully fix up the directory.
|
|
|
|
Update tune2fs man page to include more discussion of reserved blocks
|
|
(Addresses Launchpad bug #47817)
|
|
|
|
Update Turkish, Polish, Dutch, and Vietnamese PO files from the
|
|
Translation Project
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.40.1 (July 7, 2007)
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
Fix bug which could cause libblkid to loop forever. When revalidating
|
|
a partition where there is obsolete information in /etc/blkid.tab, we
|
|
end up freeing a the type tag without clearing dev->bid_type, causing
|
|
blkid_verify() to loop forever. (Addresses Debian Bug: #432052)
|
|
|
|
The Turkish translation has a bug in it where it has the translation
|
|
of "E@e '%Dn' in %p (%i)" to "E@E". This causes @E to be expanded at
|
|
@E, recursively, forever, until the stack fills up and e2fsck core
|
|
dumps. We fix this by making e2fsck stop @-expansions after a
|
|
recursive depth of 10, which is far more than we need.
|
|
(Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1646081)
|
|
|
|
Compile the default mke2fs.conf into mke2fs program. People are
|
|
getting surprised by mke2fs creating filesystems with different
|
|
defaults than earlier versions of mke2fs if mke2fs.conf is not
|
|
present. So we now create a built in version of mke2fs.conf file
|
|
which is used by mke2fs if the /etc/mke2fs.conf is not present.
|
|
(Addresses SourceforgeBug: #1745818)
|
|
|
|
Improve the config/parse_types.sh helper script. Fix a potential
|
|
security problem if e2fsprogs is built as root (as Gentoo does!). In
|
|
addition fix the script and how it is called from the configure script
|
|
so that it does the right thing when cross-compiling. (Fixes Gentoo
|
|
bug: #146903)
|
|
|
|
Update Vietnamese, French, and Dutch PO files from the Translation
|
|
Project. Also created a new e2fsprogs.pot file for translator.
|
|
|
|
Fix bogus strip permission errors when building under Debian. When
|
|
building the e2fsprogs dpkg's, the dh_strip command emits a large
|
|
number of error messages caused by the permissions not being right.
|
|
So run dh_fixperms before running dh_strip.
|
|
|
|
Programmer's Notes:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Add new function: profile_set_default(). This function sets the value
|
|
of the pseudo file "<default>". If the file "<default>" had
|
|
previously been passed to profile_init(), then def_string parameter
|
|
will be parsed and used as the profile information for the "<default>"
|
|
file.
|
|
|
|
Fix mk_cmds's error reporting so that it is unambiguous that it is the
|
|
mk_cmds script which is generating the error. (Obviates Gentoo patch:
|
|
e2fsprogs-1.32-mk_cmds-cosmetic.patch)
|
|
|
|
Fix the test suite to use LC_ALL instead of LANG. LC_ALL is the "high
|
|
priority" environment variable that overrides all others, where as
|
|
LANG is the lowest priority environment variable. If LC_ALL is set, it
|
|
doesn't matter whether LANG, LANGUAGE, LC_COLLATE, LC_MESSAGES, and
|
|
the all the rest are set. This will assure that the locale when
|
|
running the test suites is the "C" locale. (Obviates Gentoo patch:
|
|
e2fsprogs-1.38-tests-locale.patch)
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.40 (June 29, 2007)
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
Fix divide by zero error in blkid's NTFS probing logic.
|
|
|
|
Add new blkid -g option which causes the blkid cache to be garbage
|
|
collected.
|
|
|
|
Fix a bug in libblkid which could cause the internal field bid_type to
|
|
become corrupted. Fortunately bid_type isn't used much, and bid_label
|
|
and bid_uuid is only used by debugging code, so the impact of this bug
|
|
was very minor.
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs will now store the RAID stride value when a filesystem is
|
|
created with a requested RAID stride, and then use it automatically in
|
|
resize2fs.
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs has a sanity check added to make sure (inode_size * num_inodes)
|
|
isn't too big. In some cases Lustre users have tried specifying an
|
|
inode size of 4096 bytes, while keeping an inode ratio of one inode
|
|
per 4096 bytes.
|
|
|
|
Improve sanity check in e2fsck's algorithm for finding a backup
|
|
superblock, so that it won't accidentally find a superblock that was
|
|
located in the journal, and then later reject it as being not a valid
|
|
backup superblock.
|
|
|
|
Fix e2fsck get_size logic so that it will work with the Linux floppy
|
|
driver. The Linux floppy driver is a bit different from the other
|
|
block device drivers, in that if the device has been opened with
|
|
O_EXCL, it disallows another open(), even if the second open() does
|
|
not have the O_EXCL flag. (Addresses Debian Bug: #410569)
|
|
|
|
Fix error checking of badblock's last-block and start-block arguments.
|
|
(Addresses Debian Bug: #416477)
|
|
|
|
Fix e2fsck so that it doesn't overwrite the backup superblocks when
|
|
recovering a journal until the master superblock has been confirmed as
|
|
being sane.
|
|
|
|
Change the blkid library to be much more paranoid about concluding
|
|
that a partition contains an NTFS filesystem, and fetch the UUID and
|
|
LABEL information from NTFS filesystems. (Addresses Launchpad Bug:
|
|
#110138)
|
|
|
|
Factor out the code which sets the default journal size and move it
|
|
into libext2fs.
|
|
|
|
Enhance e2fsck so it will recreate the ext3 journal if the original
|
|
journal inode was cleared to due it being corrupt after finishing the
|
|
filesystem check.
|
|
|
|
Fix e2fsck so that it updates the journal inode if it is corrupted and
|
|
the backup journal information from the superblock was successfully
|
|
used to recover the filesystem.
|
|
|
|
Fix e2fsck so that it checks all of the blocks in the journal inode
|
|
for validity. The original code only checked the direct blocks to
|
|
make sure the journal inode was sane. Unfortunately, if some or all
|
|
of the indirect or doubly indirect blocks were corrupted, this would
|
|
not be caught.
|
|
|
|
Add support in blkid to detect LUKS encrypted partitions.
|
|
|
|
Add extra sanity checks for extended attributes in the case where the
|
|
size is zero but the offset is very large.
|
|
|
|
Fix byte-swapping issues for large inodes in ext2fs_read_inode_full()
|
|
and ext2fs_get_next_inode_full().
|
|
|
|
Clarify the copyright licenses used by the various libraries in
|
|
the top-level COPYING file (Red Hat Bugzilla: 166058)
|
|
|
|
Make mke2fs's defaults when /etc/mke2fs.conf doesn't exist more sane.
|
|
|
|
Fix mke2fs and debugfs to support large (> 16 bit) uid's and gid's.
|
|
|
|
Remove check in e2fsck which requires EA's in inodes to be sorted;
|
|
they don't need to be sorted, and e2fsck was previously wrongly
|
|
clearing unsorted EA's stored in the inode structure.
|
|
|
|
Allow mke2fs or tune2fs to create a substantially larger journal (up
|
|
to 10,240,000 blocks).
|
|
|
|
Fix MD superblock detection, and make sure the correct UUID is
|
|
reported from the MD superblock.
|
|
|
|
Fix a signed vs. unsigned bug in debugfs.
|
|
|
|
Enhance debugfs's date parser so that it accepts integer values.
|
|
|
|
Fix e2fsck's pass1c accounting so it doesn't terminate too early if a
|
|
file with multiply claimed blocks is hard linked. or not at all if the
|
|
root directory contains shared blocks
|
|
|
|
Enhance debugfs so it can modify the block group descriptors using the
|
|
command set_block_group_descriptor.
|
|
|
|
Improve e2fsck's reporting of I/O errors so it's clearer what it was
|
|
trying to do when an error happens
|
|
|
|
Fix a bug in in how e2fsprogs byte swaps inodes containing fast
|
|
symlinks that have extended attributes. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla:
|
|
#232663 and LTC Bugzilla: #27634)
|
|
|
|
Fix potential file descriptor leak in ext2fs_get_device_size() in an
|
|
error case.
|
|
|
|
Add libreadline.so.5 support to libss.
|
|
|
|
Improve badblocks -n/-w exclusive usage message.
|
|
|
|
Fix dump_unused segfault in debugfs when a filesystem is not open
|
|
|
|
Fix memory leak in blkid library. (Addresses Debian Bug: #413661)
|
|
|
|
Allow the debugfs lcd command to work w/o a filesystem being open.
|
|
(Addresses LTC Bugzilla #27513)
|
|
|
|
Fix e2fsck to clear i_size for special devices with a bogus i_blocks
|
|
field on the first pass.
|
|
|
|
Fix e2fsck to set the file type of the '..' entry when connecting
|
|
a directory to lost+found. (Addresses Lustre Bug: #11645)
|
|
|
|
Enhance e2fsck to recover directories whose modes field were corrupted
|
|
to look like special files. This is probably only useful in
|
|
artificial test cases, but it will be useful if we ever do the "inodes
|
|
in directory" idea for ext4.
|
|
|
|
Allow debugfs to dump (and rdump) > 2GB files. (Addresses Debian Bug:
|
|
#412614)
|
|
|
|
Fix resize2fs parsing of size parameter (in sector units). This was
|
|
actually a bug in libe2p's parse_num_blocks() function. When handling
|
|
the 's' suffix, it was ignoring the blocksize information passed in
|
|
from the caller and always interpreting the number in terms of a 1k
|
|
blocksize. (Addresses Debian Bug: #408298)
|
|
|
|
There was a floating point precision error which could cause e2fsck to
|
|
loop forever on really big filesystems with a large inode count.
|
|
(Addresses Debian Bug: #411838)
|
|
|
|
Fix memory leak in ext2fs_write_new_inode()
|
|
|
|
Add support for using a scratch files directory to reduce e2fsck's
|
|
memory utilization on really big filesystems. This uses the TDB
|
|
library. See the [scratch_files] section of the e2fsck.conf man page
|
|
for more details.
|
|
|
|
Fixed type-punning bug which caused dumpe2fs to crash on the Arm
|
|
platform (Addresses Debian Bug: #397044)
|
|
|
|
Add explanatory message to badblocks that -n and -w are mutually exclusive
|
|
(Addresses Debian Bug: #371869)
|
|
|
|
Allow debugfs and dumpe2fs to support fs features under development.
|
|
|
|
Add support for the new flag EXT2_FLAG_SOFTSUPP_FEATURES flag to
|
|
ext2fs_open() , which allows application to open filesystems with features
|
|
which are currently only partially supported by e2fsprogs.
|
|
|
|
Allow unix_io to support offsets greater than 2G (Addresses
|
|
SourceForge Bug: #1547922)
|
|
|
|
Fixed overflow and signed/unsigned problems caused by the number of
|
|
blocks or inodes exceeding 2**31 or being close to 2**32-1.
|
|
|
|
Add support for unsigned directory hash calculations with hints in the
|
|
superblock to fix cross-architectural portability for htree
|
|
directories with filenames where the high 8th bit is set. (Addresses
|
|
Debian: #389772)
|
|
|
|
Fix resize2fs so that it gives user-intelligible error messages if the
|
|
filesystem or the kernel does not support on-line resizing.
|
|
(Addresses Debian Bug: #380548)
|
|
|
|
Require mke2fs -F -F for really dangerous operations, since -F is
|
|
needed for less dangerous operations such as creating filesystems
|
|
images in regular files, or creating filesystems on whole block
|
|
devices. These relatively innocuous usages should NOT be confused
|
|
with running mke2fs on an apparently-mounted or in-use filesystem.
|
|
|
|
Allow the default inode size to be specified into the mke2fs.conf
|
|
file.
|
|
|
|
Make the smallest default journal size is big enough so that on-line
|
|
resizing should always work.
|
|
|
|
Fix silly spelling error in e2fsck. (Addresses SourceForge bug:
|
|
#1531372)
|
|
|
|
Fix debugfs coredump when lsdel is run without an open filesystem
|
|
(Addresses Debian Bug: #378335)
|
|
|
|
Fix debugfs display bug us that bytes that have the high bit set are
|
|
displayed as "ec" instead of "ffffffec".
|
|
|
|
Add support in lsattr so it will display the EXT4_EXTENTS_FL flag.
|
|
|
|
Device mapper scanning wasn't working in the blkid library because the
|
|
pathnames had an extra "/dev" when they were being probed.
|
|
|
|
Add GFS/GFS2 support to the blkid library.
|
|
|
|
Fix blkid support of empty FAT filesystem labels.
|
|
|
|
Avoid recursing forever (or for a long time) when the blkid library
|
|
searches for a device and there are symlinks to directories in /dev.
|
|
|
|
Avoid unaligned halfword access in blkid when accessing FAT
|
|
superblocks, as this will cause Sparc/Solaris systems to throw a
|
|
SIGBUS error.
|
|
|
|
The latest devmapper libraries requires pthreads, add -lpthreads to
|
|
the static link libraries for e2fsck.static if devmapper is enabled.
|
|
(Addresses Debian bug: #388718)
|
|
|
|
Improve the (non-installed, for experts only) findsuper program by
|
|
printing the uuid and label from the superblocks, as well as the
|
|
starting and ending offsets of the filesystem given the information in
|
|
the superblock. Omit by default printing superblocks that are likely
|
|
found in located in an ext3 journal unless an explicit -j option is
|
|
given.
|
|
|
|
Updated Spanish, French and Dutch translations and added Catalan
|
|
translation. (Addresses Debian bug: #411562)
|
|
|
|
Use FreeBSD's DIOCGMEDIASIZE and DIOCGDINFO ioctls if available when
|
|
determining a partition's size, since binary searching to determine
|
|
the device doesn't work on FreeBSD.
|
|
|
|
Documentation about UUID's is available in enough places, and it's
|
|
awkward to deal with debian-legal's insanities. So I'm caving in the
|
|
"more-lunatic-than-RMS" wing of Debian by removing RFC-4122 so we
|
|
don't have do the dfsg tarball. Also remove the rule that only tried
|
|
to install RFC-4122 on Ubuntu, since Ubuntu seems to want to fetch
|
|
e2fsprogs exclusively from Debian. (Addresses Debian Bug: #407107)
|
|
|
|
Fix the info-dir line so that the menu name does not contain a .info
|
|
prefix. First of all, it's ugly, secondly, it causes the install-info
|
|
command to fail to remove the com_err info file from the
|
|
/usr/share/info/dir file when the comerr-dev package is removed and
|
|
purged. (Addresses Debian Bug: #401711)
|
|
|
|
Fixed spelling mistakes, typos, and otherwise clarified man pages.
|
|
(Addresses Debian Bug: #369761, #373004, #379695)
|
|
|
|
Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for
|

Programmer's notes:

|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now supports the %It expansion when printing a problem report.

It will print the type of the inode in the problem context.
|
|
|
|
Fix misc/Makefile.in so that it builds even if e2fsck hasn't been built yet
|
|
(Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1565561)
|
|
|
|
Remove unused variables and other lint/gcc -Wall cleanups
|
|
|
|
Add check to ext2fs_get_device_size() so it will return EFBIG for for
|
|
filesystems contained in regular files where the filesystem image size
|
|
is returned by stat64().
|
|
|
|
Set local environment variables to C so mk_cmds and compile_et always
|
|
work. (Addresses SourceForge Bug: #1532177)
|
|
|
|
Added the 64-bit byte swapping function ext2fs_swab64().
|
|
|
|
Added two new helper functions to prevent 2**31/2**32-1 overflow
|
|
problems: ext2fs_div_ceil() and e2p_percent().
|
|
|
|
Create new ext2fs library inline functions ext2fs_group_first_block()
|
|
and ext2fs_group_last_block() in order to calculate the starting and
|
|
ending blocks in a block group.
|
|
|
|
Create the generated files read-only to remind developers not to edit them.
|
|
|
|
Add support for autoconf 2.60 (with backwards compatibility for older
|
|
versions of autoconf).
|
|
|
|
Added an "make rpm" target to top-level Makefile
|
|
|
|
Added various FreeBSD portability fixes.
|
|
|
|
Exclude mercurial files from the RPM build tree to speed up copy/build.
|
|
|
|
Use root_sysconfdir to define the locations of mke2fs.conf and
|
|
e2fsck.conf instead of using a hard-coded /etc pathname.
|
|
|
|
Prevent e2fsck.h and ext2_ext_attr.h from getting included multiple times.
|
|
|
|
Fixed "make clean" in blkid's Makefile.in file from removing tst_*.c files.
|
|
|
|
If diff -u is supported, use it to report test failures.
|
|
|
|
Updates/improvements to RPM spec file
|
|
|
|
Add on-disk format definitions for the following new features:
|
|
EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_HUGE_FILE, EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_GDT_CSUM,
|
|
EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_DIR_NLINK, EXT4_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_64BIT,
|
|
EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_EXTRA_ISIZE
|
|
|
|
Add a new make target "checked-failed" in the tests directory which
|
|
reruns any failed tests
|
|
|
|
Update draft-leach-uuids-guids-01.txt with rfc4122.txt
|
|
|
|
Fix miscellaneous bugs reported by Coverity: Dead code, potential nul
|
|
pointer dereferences, memory leaks, etc. None were security-critical
|
|
problems.
|
|
|
|
Fix up usage and decrement error messages in the test_icount program
|
|
|
|
Add debugging code to the com_err library; if the environment variable
|
|
COMERR_DEBUG is set to 1, print out debugging messages as error tables
|
|
are added and removed from the com_err library. If the
|
|
COMERR_DEBUG_FILE environment variable is set (and the process is not
|
|
setuid) the debugging messages may be redirected to a file.
|
|
|
|
Change all of the e2fsprogs programs to use the newer add_error_table()
|
|
and remove_error_table() interfaces instead of the much older
|
|
initialize_*_error_table() function.
|
|
|
|
Add TDB support into the ext2fs library. This allows us to have a
|
|
guaranteed library we can count on always being present so we can
|
|
store data in an on-disk database.
|
|
|
|
Add support for using TDB to store the icount data, so we don't run out
|
|
of memory when checking really large filesystems.
|
|
|
|
Change the regression test suite so that it skips empty test directories.
|
|
|
|
Define the l_i_iversion field in ext2_inode. The l_i_version field is
|
|
now defined from the old l_i_reserved1 field in the ext2 inode. This
|
|
field will be used to store high 32 bits of the 64-bit inode version
|
|
number.
|
|
|
|
Add Makefile production rule for e2fsprogs.spec in case it gets
|
|
deleted.
|
|
|
|
Add new function profile_get_uint() to allow for a clean way to fetch
|
|
unsigned integers from the context.
|
|
|
|
Add test to make sure the ext2 superblock structure is 1024 bytes.
|
|
|
|
Fix typo in name of f_dup4 regression test
|
|
|
|
Add new function blkid_gc_cache() which performs a garbage collection
|
|
pass on the /etc/blkid.tab file.
|
|
|
|
The ext2fs_open() function now sets EXT2_FLAG_MASTER_SB_ONLY. In
|
|
general, only e2fsck (after the filesystem is clean), tune2fs, and
|
|
resize2fs should change the backup superblocks by default. Most
|
|
callers of ext2fs_open() should not be touching any superblock fields
|
|
which require the backups to be touched.
|
|
|
|
Add new function to libext2fs, ext2fs_default_journal_size(), which
|
|
returns the default journal size.
