Changelog
e2fsprogs (1.42.10-1) unstable; urgency=medium
* New upstream version
* The mke2fs program no longer requires a force (-F) option when
when creating a file system in a regular file, since this is a very
common use case when managing virtual machine images
* The mke2fs program will now ask for confirmation before wiping out a
pre-existing file system, partition label, or physical volume
* Fix e2fsck so that it properly handles an inconsistent quota inode.
Previously the quota inode could be completely corrupted, and
missing quota records could be not noticed
* Fix mke2fs so if packed metadata blocks are enabled that the block
group checksum are set correctly
* Debugfs has new commands to allow the quota inode to be queried directly
* Tune2fs will allow removal of dirty journal with two "-f" options
(Closes: #559301)
* Fixed some off-line resize2fs bugs when relocating metadata blocks
when growing or shrinking bigalloc file systems
* Fixed resize2fs's calculation of the minimum required file system
size. This allows resize2fs -M to shrink the file system more
aggressively
* Fixed resize2fs to properly handle shrinking a very large and empty
file system to a very very small size
* Fixed e4defrag to work with 64-bit and bigalloc file systems
* Fixed e2fsck to not issue a large number of very scary (but
harmless) corruption messages when checking very large file systems
when the file system has more inodes than the number of seconds
since January 1, 1970.
* E2fsck will now check the whole file system if file system problems
are detected durings its initial "pass 0" sanity check
* Filefrag now prints the "shared extent" flag which is used by some
file systems such as btrfs
* The mke2fs program would previously correctly omit the resize_inode
feature when creating a file system > 16TB when the fs size was
determined automatically. It will now also do the right thing when
the user explicitly specifies the file system size.
* The message printed by logsave is now much less scary (Closes: #468821)
* Fix spelling typo in the package descriptions
* Update Czech, Dutch, French, German, Polish, Spanish, Sweedish, and
Vietnamese translations (Closes: #703048)
* Update/fix various man pages
* Fix debian/rules compatibility problem with GNU make 4.0
