Fix a bug where updated bitmap checks might not be written to disk.
(Addresses Debian Bug: #883869)
Some newly added fields in the superblocks were not getting byte
swapped (which were not noticed since big endian systems are amazingly
unpopular). Fix them and compile-time checks to avoid this class of
bugs from happening in the future. (Lustre Bug #9309)
Fix a potential use after free bug in e2fsck when fixing a corrupted
root node in directory hash tree.
Fix a bug in e2fsck where a badly/maliciously corrupted superblock
(which is not fixed due to the -n option, for example) can cause a
floating point exception when printing the summary statistics.
(Addresses Debian Bug: #879220)
Fix debugfs's ncheck command so that it correctly prints the inode
number when printing an error message.
Fix a bug in e2freefrag where it could print an incorrect free blocks
count on a file system with the 64-bit block number feature.
Update the German, Serbian, Spanish, and Ukrainian translations.
Fix a bug where resize2fs's free blocks sanity check could fail with a
false positive and refuse to check a file system with the 64-bit block
number feature.
Fix and clarify various man pages and documentations. Also fixed up
some random usage texts that were incorrect. (Addresses Debian Bugs:
#880483)
