|
||||
|
||||
<P>Fix a bug in the Unix I/O manager which could cause corruption of file
|
||||
systems with more than 16TB when e2fsprogs is compiled in 32-bit mode
|
||||
(i.e., when unsigned long is 32-bits). Also fix a bug which caused
|
||||
dumpe2fs to incorrectly display block numbers > 32-bits.</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>Improve the support for integrated quota files (where quota is a first
|
||||
class supported feature using hidden files in the ext4 file system).
|
||||
Previously the quota file was getting rewritten even when it was not
|
||||
necessary, and e2fsck would erroneously try to hide quota files which
|
||||
were already hidden.</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>Quiet complaints in e2fsck when the total free blocks or inodes are
|
||||
incorrect in the superblock after an system crash, since we don't
|
||||
update nor depend on the superblock summaries at each commit boundary.</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>Fixed a regression introduced in 1.42.2 which would cause applications
|
||||
outside of e2fsprogs which did not pass the EXT2_FLAG_64BIT (and so
|
||||
would were still using the legacy 32-bit bitmaps) to crash. This was
|
||||
due to missing 32-bit compat code in side the function
|
||||
ext2fs_find_first_zero_generic_bmap(). (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla:
|
||||
#808421)</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>Fix a bug which would cause mke2fs to fail creating the journal if
|
||||
/etc/mtab and /proc/mounts are missing. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug:
|
||||
#3509398)</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>Updated/fixed various man pages.</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>Update Czech, Dutch, French, German, Polish, Sweedish, and Vietnamese
|
||||
translations</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>Fixed various Debian Packaging issues.</P>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Programmer's Notes</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>Change the nonsensically wrong types in the function signature of the
|
||||
inline function ext2fs_find_first_zero_block_bitmap2(). This was
|
||||
caused by a cut and paste error; fortunately no code in e2fsprogs used
|
||||
this inline function, and there are any users of this functions
|
||||
outside of e2fsprogs.</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>Add support for systems which have valloc(), but which do have
|
||||
posix_memalign() nor memalign() (such as MacOS 10.5).</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>Refactor and clean up the allocation of aligned buffers for Direct I/O
|
||||
support. Previously some allocations were requesting a greater
|
||||
alignment factor that what was strictly necessary. Also optimize
|
||||
reading and writing bitmaps using Direct I/O when the size of the
|
||||
bitmap did not fully cover the file system blocksize.</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>Reserve the codepoints for the INCOMPAT features LARGEDATA and
|
||||
INLINEDATA.</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>Improved the regression test suite by adding some new integration
|
||||
tests (f_jnl_32bit, f_jnl_64bit) which detect breakage of the on-disk
|
||||
jbd2 format, as well as f_eofblocks which tests the new handling of
|
||||
uninitialized and initialized blocks beyond i_size. Also add a new
|
||||
unit test which verifies 32-bit bitmaps support and the new
|
||||
find_first_zero primitives.</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>Add a few dependencies to fix parallel (make -j) builds.</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>Removed bash'isms which were breaking the regression test suite on
|
||||
systems where /bin/sh is not bash.</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>The config.guess and config.sub have been updated to the 2012-02-10
|
||||
version.</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>Fix a portability problem caused by assuming the present of mntent.h
|
||||
means that setmntent() exists. Instead, explicitly test for this in
|
||||
the configure script.</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>If the sys/signal.h header file does not exist, don't try to include
|
||||
it, since it's not available on all systems.</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>Add support for systems that do not support getpwuid_r()</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>The configure script now supports a new option,
|
||||
--enable-relative-symlinks, which will install relative symlinks for
|
||||
the ELF shared library files. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #3520767).</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>When building BSD shared libraries make sure the LDFLAGS variable is
|
||||
passed to the linker. Fixing this allows, for example, e2fsprogs to
|
||||
be built in 32-bit mode on Mac OS X Lion (Addresses Sourceforge Bug:
|
||||
#3517272)</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>Fix gcc -Wall nitpicks</P>
