| E2fsprogs 1.45.7 (January 28, 2021) |
| ================================== |
| |
| Updates/Fixes since v1.45.6: |
| |
| UI and Features |
| --------------- |
| |
| Mke2fs will now warn when creating a file system on a DAX-capable device |
| and the block size is incompatible with DAX. |
| |
| The chattr and lsattr programs now support using the 'x' attribute to |
| set/get dax support on a particular file. |
| |
| E2fsprogs now supports the gnu.* extended attribute namespace, which |
| allows mke2fs -d to import the gnu.translator extended attributes. |
| |
| Add support for the simultaneous enablement of the casefold and |
| encryption features, which ext4 supports starting with the v5.5 Linux |
| kernel. |
| |
| |
| Fixes |
| ----- |
| |
| When trying to run debugfs on a mounted file system, it's possible for |
| the superblock to be read in an inconsistent state; debugfs will now |
| retry the open in the hopes that it will succeed. |
| |
| Fix an off-by-one error when validating the depth of an htree which |
| caused e2fsck to potentially fail to notice an invalid htree. |
| |
| Fix potential buffer overrun in e2fsck when scanning directory blocks in |
| pass 2. (Addresses Google Bug: #158564737) |
| |
| Fix tune2fs so that it unlocks the MMP block if it can't perform the |
| requested operation. |
| |
| Fix mke2fs so it can import the contents of a directory using the -d |
| option when it has inode numbers that are greater than 2**32. Also fix |
| an omission were the extended attributes on the top-level directory was |
| not getting copied to the root directory. |
| |
| Fix e4crypt so that the add_key operation uses the explicitly provided |
| salt if it is provided. |
| |
| Fix resize2fs to prevent it from overflowing the block group descriptors |
| from overflowing the first block group. (This can only happen when the |
| block size is 1k and the file system is very large.) |
| |
| Fix debugfs's set_super_value command so it can set 64-bit integer |
| fields, such as s_kbytes_written. |
| |
| Fix filefrag so that it won't crash if the kernel returns zero for |
| statfs(2)'s device id or if it returns a blocksize of zero the device's |
| blocksize. This only happens with kernel bugs, but filefrag shouldn't |
| crash when the kernel returns an unexpected value. |
| |
| Fix a few bad error code returns in the unix and sparse I/O managers. |
| (These errors rarely happen in real life; these were find thanks to a |
| static code checker.) |
| |
| E2fsck will no longer try to fix duplicate file names in an encrypted |
| directory by mutating the file name since that will cause the decrypted |
| file name to be gibberish, or to contain invalid characters. |
| |
| Updated and clarified various man pages. |
| |
| |
| Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. |
| -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| The misc/mke2fs.conf.in script now properly escaping of double quotes |
| when incorporating the mke2fs.conf into the default_profile.c file. The |
| upstream version of the mke2fs.conf.in file doesn't have any double |
| quotes, but this allows a customized distribution of e2fsprogs to have |
| double quotes in its default mke2fs profile. |
| |
| Speeded up mkfs.ext3 by batching calls to ext2fs_zero_blocks when |
| zeroing the blocks for an indirect-block mapped journal inode. |
| |
| Fixed portability problem for implementations of grep which don't |
| support extended regexp's without the -E option. |
| |
| Fix various compiler and Coverity warnings. |
| |
| Fixed portability issue which caused a build failure when mkdir -p is |
| not thread safe; in that case, the Makefiles would not find the |
| install_sh replacement script. |
| |
| Fixed various Debian packaging issues. |
| |
| Synchronized changes from Android's AOSP e2fsprogs tree. |
| |
| Update the Dutch, Malay, and Serbian translations from the translation |
| project. |
