easier to understand (sorry, translators).
Add new @m (multiply-claimed) and @n (invalid) expansions for e2fsck
problem descriptions.
Add Dutch translation, and update French translation.
Add an explanation of how the @-expansion and %-exapansion works in
e2fsck/problem.c to make life easier for the translators.
Synchronize and update po files.

There are a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the original lustre fsck
BK repository. The biggest one is that this extended attribute values must
be aligned on 4-byte boundaries.
a new inode we make sure that the extra information in the inode (any extra
fields in a large inode and any ea-in-inode information) is cleared. This
can happen when e2fsck creates a new root inode or a new lost+found directory,
or when the user uses the debugfs write, mknod, or mkdir commands. Otherwise,
the newly create inode could inherit garbage (or old EA information) from
a previously deleted inode.
we changed ext2fs_create_resize_inode to always create the resize inode,
even when s_reserved_gdt_blocks is zero. Mke2fs and e2fsck was calling
ext2fs_create_resize_inode() unconditionally, and depending on
s_reserved_gdt_blocks to be zero, instead of explicitly checking the
resize_inode feature.

free counts is too large, force a full filesystem check. (Addresses
Debian Bug #291571)

block in the resize inode. If there are no blocks reserved for on-line
expansion, there is no need for the DIND block to be allocated in the resize
inode.

Update "make depend" production so that it filters out comments

the offset option in the unix_io layer.

E2F_FLAG_RESTARTED. This fixes a bug where if the user
specifies an alternate superblock, and the journal needs
to be replayed, e2fsck would erroneously assume that
journal had been run already without clearing the
NEEDS_RECOVERY flag, and bomb out with an error.

problem.c (PR_1_BB_FS_BLOCK, PR_1_BBINODE_BAD_METABLOCK_PROMPT):
Fix up the handling of corrupted indirect blocks in the
bad block. We now correctly handle the case where there
is an overlap between a block group descriptor or
a superblock and a bad block indirect block. In the case
where the indirect block is corrupted, we now suggest
"e2fsck -c".
the superblock and block group descriptors into two functions:
ext2fs_reserve_super_and_bgd, found in lib/ext2fs/alloc_sb.c, and
ext2fs_super_and_bgd_lock, found in lib/ext2fs/close.c.
Change e2fsck/pass1.c (mark_table_blocks), lib/ext2fs/closefs.c
(ext2fs_flush), lib/ext2fs/initialize.c (ext2fs_initialize),
and misc/dumpe2fs.c (list_desc) to use these functions.
e2fsck/ChangeLog
pass1.c (mark_table_blocks): Use the new function
ext2fs_reserve_super_and_bgd to calculate the blocks to be
reserved.
lib/ext2fs/ChangeLog
closefs.c (ext2fs_super_and_bgd_loc): New function which
centralizes the calculation of the superblock and block
group descriptors.
(ext2fs_flush): Use ext2fs_super_and_bgd_lock to figure
out where to write the superblock and block group
descriptors.
alloc_sb.c (ext2fs_reserve_super_and_bgd): New function which
reserves space in the block bitmap using
ext2fs_super_and_bgd_loc.
initialize.c (ext2fs_initialize): Use
ext2fs_reserve_super_and_bgd to initialize the block bitmap.
misc/ChangeLog
dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Use ext2fs_super_and_bgd_loc to
determine the locations of the superblock and block group
descriptors.
superblock. E2fsck will automatically save the journal information
in the superblock if it is not there already, and will use it if the
journal inode appears to be corrupted. ext2fs_add_journal_inode()
will also save the backup information, so that new filesystems
created by mke2fs and filesystems that have journals added via
tune2fs will also have journal location written to the superblock as
well. Debugfs's logdump command has been enhanced so that it can
use the journal information in the superblock.
The debugfs man page has been improved to more fully describe the
logdump command.
Added two new functions, ext2fs_file_open2() and
ext2fs_inode_io_intern2() which take a pointer to an inode structure;
this is needed so that e2fsck and debugfs can synthesize a
fake journal inode and use it to access the journal.
e2fsck_simple_progress): Don't print the ^A and ^B
characters which bracket the progress bar when the e2fsck
program is talking directly to a tty, but only when it is
being piped to another program. (Addresses Debian bug
#204137)
unix.c: Move some initialized variables to the BSS segment to
shrink the size of the e2fsck executable.
tune2fs to use the test I/O manager.
The test I/O manager has been changed to not do anything extra by
default, unless the TEST_IO_FLAGS and/or TEST_IO_BLOCK environment
variables are set, which controls what I/O operations are logged and
a block number to watch, respectively. The log messages are sent to
stderr by default, unless a filename is specified via the
TEST_IO_LOGFILE environment variable.
Fix typo's in README.subset
Change debian control file so it doesn't bomb out if the EVMS FSIM
is not there, since it is not built on the Hurd. Resolves Debian
bug #189687.
* Change e2fsck to bracket its progress bar output with ctrl-A and ctrl-B
characters, so that logsave -s can omit writing the progress bar output
to the log file.
inode counters from the block group specific counters

eliminates locking the entire filesystem when allocating
blocks or inodes; if the filesystem is not unmounted
cleanly, the global counts may not be accurate.
a single directory block (because this is the easy case;
we don't currently check for duplicates that span
directory blocks, for now. Eventually for htree
directories we can do this by searching for all directory
blocks that have a hash overflow, and then searching the
adjacent blocks to find all other potential duplicates.)
code accidentally had the INDEX_FL backwards compatibility code
removed. E2fsck will now fix HTREE corruptions in preen mode, and
mke2fs will not create filesystems with the dir_index flag set
by default. (The user has to specifically request it.)
