For 64k +filesystems (currently all that is supported by e2fsprogs, this is +only a minor corner case). + +Resize2fs will now update the journal backup fileds in the sup0erblock +if the journal is moved; this avoids an unnecessary full fsck after +resizing the filesystem. (Addresses RedHat Bugzilla: #505339) + +Fix libext2fs to properly initialize i_extra_size when creating the +journal and resize inodes. + +Change badblocks to allow block sizes larger than 4k. + +Fix filefrag progam so it correctly checks for errors from the fiemap ioctl. + +Update Chinese and Czech translation from the Translation Project. + +Clean up various man pages. (Addresses Debian Bug #531385 and #523063) + + +Programmer's Notes +------------------ + +Add --disable-libuuid option to configure which uses an in-system +installed version of libuuid; the private version is enabled by +default. + +Add --valgrind-leakcheck option to the test_script program which runs +valgrind with the appropriate options to find memory leaks. + + E2fsprogs 1.41.6 (May 30, 2009) =============================== |
