e2fsprogs-1.47.2

[Bruce Dubbs]

New point version.

[Bruce Dubbs]

Updates/Fixes since v1.47.1:

UI and Features

• Drop the tune2fs -r option and replace it with -E revision=<fs-rev>. Revision 0 file systems are needed for compatibility with pre-1995 Linux kernels (older that version 1.2). Most of the time, users shouldn't be using the -r option and they can confuse themselves and end up creating a file system that is missing most modern ext4 features, including no online resizing, no support for post-2038 timestamps, etc.

• Add support for gnu.translator extended attributes in tar files fed to mke2fs -d.

• Add a debugfs command to list all of the inodes in the orphan list.

Fixes

• Fix orphan_file support on big endian systems.

• Fix resize2fs to update the checksums in blocks belonging to the orphan file if it needs to move them.

• Fix e2fsck to clear the orphan file after processing it so that e2fsck -E journal_only doesn't leave the file system in a corrupted state.

• Avoid a spurious failure in badblocks when -n or -w is specified twice.

• Fix a bug where e2fsck could skip checking a file systems with the orphan_file feature if there are orphaned files that need to be cleaned up.

• Tune2fs will now upgrade a revision 0 file system to revision 1 before trying to change the inode size. Otherwise, this could result in a corrupted file system.

• Fix fuse2fs --helpfull so that it displays the full help message.

• Allow resize2fs to perform an offline resize past the 256 TiB boundary (which the kernel could do as part of an online resize).

Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.

• Fix various Coverity and compiler warnings.

• Speed up tune2fs -g when the group is not changed by the command.

• Fix build failures on GCC 15 due to it switched to using -std=c23 by default.
• Fix build failure when linking fuse2fs with old (2.9.9) version of libfuse2 on aarch64. This hack was needed to fix a regression caused by another hacky workaround needed to work around a build failure on mipsel64 thanks to glibc using different struct stat layouts depending _FILE_OFFSET_BITS is set and this caused failures when dynamic linking against libarchive on Debian's mipsel64.

• Fix unused parameter warnings for packages which including ext2fs.h.

• Fix bug where packages including ext2fs.h would get the 32-bit versions of the timestamp routines even on 64-bit platforms due to a missing SIZEOF_TIME_T autoconf definiton in public_config.h.

• Teach dumpe2fs and e2mmpstatus to support LABEL= and UUID= specifiers since the e2mmpstatus man page claims that it supports LABEL= and UUID=. This support was accidentally dropped when e2mmpstatus was reimplemented in terms of dumpe2fs.

• Suppress mke2fs's "Creating regular file" message when the -q option is in force.

• Enable Continuous Integration testing in Debian's Salsa forge.

• Fix a memory leak in oss-fuzz test programs.

• Provide fuseext2 to replace the debian package src:fuse-umfuse-ext2.

• In the Debian package for e2fsprogs, add a suggestion to install the package libarchive13t64.

• In the Debian package for e2fsprogs, decrease the priority from required to important.

• Fix the f_badjour_encrypted test to write the error output from mke2fs and debugfs to a log file so it doesn't mess up the "make check" output and to make those error messages available in the case of test failure.

• Fix my_llseek() declaration when building against musl libc.

• Clean up groff warnings in man pages.

• Document the orphan_file feature in the ext4(5) and tune2fs(8) man pages.

• Allow building e2fsprogs without libarchive-dev installed to make life easier for bootstrapping for new Debian ports

• Various man page cleanups.

• Update translations.
