      * New upstream version
      * NMU acknowledge (Closes: #778948)
      * Fixed a bug which could cause e2fsck to corrupt Hurd file systems.
        (Closes: #760275)
      * Fixed a deadlock which occurs when using systemd and e2fsck.conf's
        logging feature.  (Closes: #775234)

        scanning functions from crashing on certain corrupted file systems.
        (Closes: #773795)
      * Fixed dumpe2fs so it won't crash if the user doesn't specify a block
        device (file system).  (Closes: #764293)
      * Fixed e2fsck so if it notices unexpected HTREE blocks in pass 2, it
        will report the correct directory inode containing the inconsistency.
      * If e2fsck fails to grow the dir_info structure due realloc(3) not
        having enough memory, it will now fail with explanatory message
        instead of staggering on failing with a confusing internal error
        messages.

        information when removing a journal from a file system.
      * The mke2fs program now enables the large_file feature by default.

        and millions of bad blocks.

      * Fixed some bigendian bugs that had crept into both indirect and extent
        handling inside libext2fs.
      * Updated/fixed various man pages.
      * Update Esperanto, German, and Spanish translations.  Added Danish
        translation.

  • e2fsprogs (1.42.12-1) unstable; urgency=low
    
    
      * New upstream version
      * Fix various e2fsck bugs when trying to repair bigalloc file systems.
      * E2fsck can now repair a file system with an overly large
        s_first_meta_bg field, which had previously caused all e2fsprogs
        programs to crash when trying to open such a file system.
      * Fix e2fsck so that it can correctly fix a number of rare file system
        corruptions that were discovered when using a file system fuzzer.
      * Fix e2fsck so it does not try to write back block group descriptors
        if they have not been modified.
      * The mke2fs program will now place metadata blocks in the last
        flex_bg so they are contiguous.  This reduces free space
        fragmentation in a freshly created file system, as well as allowing
        mke2fs commands which request extremely large flex_bg size to succeed.
      * Mke2fs now creates hugefiles more efficiently (with fewer extent
        tree blocks).
      * Fix a 32/64-bit overflow bug that could cause resize2fs to loop
        forever.
      * Reduce the memory consumption of resize2fs for very large file
        systems.
      * Fix a bug that could cause resize2fs to create a corrupted file
        system when shrinking a very large file system (typically > 16TB)
        that had been previously grown using resize2fs.  (Closes: #756922)
      * Fix tune2fs updating UUID's when manipulating file systems with
        external journals (both the file system and journal UUID).
      * Fix tune2fs so it can remove an external journal for file systems
        with a 1k block size.
      * Add a new debugfs command, "inode_dump", which prints the inode in
        hex and ASCII format.
      * The debugfs command "set_inode_field" will now automatically
        allocate blocks for indirect blocks and extent tree blocks.
      * Fix debugfs's "set_inode_field" so can properly handle
        "block[IND|DIND|TIND]".
      * The debugfs "rdump" command will now take multiple source arguments.
      * Fix debugfs's argument parsing for the freefrag command.
      * Fixed a double close(2) bug in "rdump" and "rdump -p".
      * Fix filefrag to properly handle using the FIBMAP ioctl (with -B).
      * e4defrag will now defrag backwards-allocated files
      * Clarified messages that were confusing users in debugfs, e2fsck,
        mke2fs, and resize2fs (Closes: #758029, #757543, #757544)
      * Dumpe2fs will now complain if extra arguments are given to it.
        (Closes: #758074)
      * Update/clarify various man pages (Closes: #726760)
      * Update Czech, Dutch, French, Polish, Spanish, Sweedish, Ukrainian,
        and Vietnamese translations
