| E2fsprogs 1.44.4 (August 18, 2018) |
| ================================== |
| |
| Updates/Fixes since v1.44.3: |
| |
| UI and Features |
| --------------- |
| |
| Add basic support for the ext4 verity feature (aka fsverity). It is a |
| read-only compatibility feature which uses Merkle trees to add |
| functionality much like dm-verity on a per-file basis. For this release |
| we simply allow e2fsck to accept file systems with the verity feature |
| enable (no special handling is needed) and mke2fs to create file systems |
| with the verity feature. |
| |
| |
| Fixes |
| ----- |
| |
| E2fsck will now properly repair a file system that has both the |
| resize_inode and meta_bg features enabled simultaneously (which is never |
| supposed to happen, but it could happen in versions of mke2fs before |
| 1.44.3 when it was given parameters where more than 75% of the block |
| group was used for group descriptor tables). |
| |
| Avoid a floating point exception crash when libblkid tries probing a |
| maliciously corrupted HFS+ superblock. |
| |
| Debugfs's ncheck command now properly will handle inodes that have |
| multiple hard links. |
| |
| On platforms that don't supply strdup, the replacement function for |
| strdup() had a bug which would cause it to crash if it was used. |
| (Fortunately this only happens if the [scratch_files] feature in e2fsck |
| is used.) |
| |
| Fixed support for devices which have non-512 byte block sizes on Apple |
| Darwin. |
| |
| E2fsprogs 1.44.3 would fail to compile on very old versions of gcc. |
| This is now fixed. |
| |
| Update and clarify man pages. (Addresses Debian Bug: #757831) |
| |
| |
| Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. |
| -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| Synchronized changes from Android's AOSP e2fsprogs tree. |
| |
| Instead of building the subset e2fsprogs-libs tar file, add a new |
| configure option, --enable-subset. This along with other changes (such |
| as dropping obsolete files that aren't shipped as part of |
| e2fsprogs-X.YY.tar.gz) allows us to be able to build the tarball using |
| the "git archive" command. |
| |
| Fixed various debian packaging issues (Addresses Debian Bug: #905195) |
| |
| Update Danish, Spanish, and Swedish translations. |
