Also store the clock sequence information in a state file in
/var/lib/misc/uuid-clock so that if the time goes backwards the clock
sequence counter can get bumped. This allows us to completely
correctly generate time-based (version 1) UUID's according to the
algorithm specified RFC 4122.

Fuse and ssh fstab lines such as:
wdfs#https://dav.hoster.com/foo/bar /mnt/hoster fuse user,noauto 0 0
will cause fsck to issue warnings about invalid fstab lines, because
fsck was previously treating '#' as a comment when it appeared
anywhere in an fstab line, not just at the beginning of the line.

When printing the value of tags in a formatted format, print control
characters and characters with the high eight bit set using the ^ and
M- notation, respectively. This prevents a filesystem with a garbage
label from potentially screwing up the user's screen (for example,
putting it into graphical mode).

On 64-bit systems (or anything with sizeof(long) > sizeof(int)), we
sometimes get error codes passed to error_message which have been cast
from an (int) to an (unsigned int). This almost always happens if
you're using libgssapi_krb5, which returns an error code which is less
than 0 but is returned in an (unsigned int).
For example, -1765328377L gets cast to 2529638919, which is
0x96c73a07, not 0xffffffff96c73a07, so error_message() fails to find a
matching error table.
When error_message() then calls the error_table_name() function to get a
name to use in the "unknown code" message, it gets a correct value back.
This happens because error_table_name() drops most of the higher bits of
the parameter it's passed before doing anything else with it (& 077777777f,
or & 0xffffff). If we did the same thing in error_message(), we wouldn't
have a problem there, either.

Now that e2fsck tries to backup the primary superblock to the backups
when the feature sets ar different, it's important when tune2fs writes
out a changed superblock, that we filter out the
EXT3_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_RECOVER feature to the backup superblocks, since
it will be removed from the primary superblock either when the
filesystem is mounted uncleanly or when journal is replayed.

This addresses a potential security vulnerability where an untrusted
filesystem can be corrupted in such a way that a program using
libext2fs will allocate a buffer which is far too small. This can
lead to either a crash or potentially a heap-based buffer overflow
crash. No known exploits exist, but main concern is where an
untrusted user who possesses privileged access in a guest Xen
environment could corrupt a filesystem which is then accessed by the
pygrub program, running as root in the dom0 host environment, thus
allowing the untrusted user to gain privileged access in the host OS.
Thanks to the McAfee AVERT Research group for reporting this issue.

Ubuntu has init script and installer issues which cause them to have
significant problems with time zones. This is compounded with a
relatively inexperienced user base who want to dual boot with Windows
and so have their hardware clocks tick localtime.

The heuristics in blkid/devname.c probe_all() for scanning whole disks
with no partitions assume that a device name with no digit on the end
will always be present as a delineator, i.e.:
sda
sda1
sdb
sdc
In this case, when sdc is seen, it's the clue to go back and scan sdb.
However, for something like:
sda
sda1
sdb
loop0
this falls down, and sdb is never scanned.
(thanks to Karel Zak for pointing this out).

We cannot merge a removed directory entry to just arbitrary previous
directory entry. The previous entry must be in the same block. So
really bad things can happen when are deleting the first directory
entry in a block where the last directory entry in the previous
directory block is not in use. We fix this bug by checking to see if
the current entry is not the first one in the block before trying to
merge it to the previous entry.

In raw mode (-r), e2image appends an extra byte to the image-file's
end if the last block requires a sparse write. Consequently, the
resulting image-file is one byte larger than the original in
size. This patch fixes the problem by seeking to one less than the
given offset, so that the byte write does not overflow into the next
block.
This problem can be reproduced by doing an e2image -r dev image-file
and comparing the original and resulting image sizes. This assumes the
image is sparse at the end. For my tests, I created a 100MB sparse
image with two files.
