1E2fsprogs 1.46.5 (December 30, 2021)
2====================================
3
4Updates/Fixes since v1.46.4:
5
6UI and Features
7---------------
8
9When resizing a file system and the inode count exceeds the 2**32
10maximum, if resize2fs can successfully perform the resize by dropping
11the last block group, resize2fs will do that in order to allow the file
12system grow operation to succeed.  For example, using the default inode
13ratio size of 16k, this will allow a successful resize to 64TB - 128MB
14when the storage device is 64TB.
15
16
17Fixes
18-----
19
20Avoid a potential infinite loop in resize2fs -P when the file system is
21corrupted (introduced in e2fsprogs 1.45.5).  (Addresses github issue
22https://github.com/tytso/e2fsprogs/issues/94)
23
24E2fsck now updates the bg_checksum after fixing problems in the block
25group descriptor, which eliminates some unnecessary messages printed or
26asked of the system administrator.
27
28Fixed some potential deadlock problems in the unix_io handler in the case
29of I/O errors.  The fix should also improve the performance of parallel
30bitmap loading.
31
32Fixed e2fsck's fast commit handling which could result it in crashing
33when trying to merge extents when there were none available to be
34merged.
35
36Fix e2fsck's support of quota limit data, which could sometimes get
37dropped when the quota data needs to be regenerated, or when processing
38the orphan list.
39
40Fix tune2fs to correctly transfer the quota limits when converting quota
41files to the internal quota inodes.  Also add support for tune2fs to
42properly handle the older version 0 quota files.
43
44Fix debugfs's get_quota and list_quota commands so that the header of
45the report printed by these commands correctly reflect that the units of
46used space is in bytes instead of blocks.
47
48
49Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
50--------------------------------------------------------------
51
52Add some additional packages to the setup-schroot script to account for
53the fact that the script can be run on older Debian distributions and so
54the build dependencies might omit some packages needed to build
55e2fsprogs on unstable version of Debian.
56
57Reduce resize2fs's CPU overhead when counting the number of blocks in
58use which can reduce the wall clock time for very large file systems
59by substantial amount.
60
61Teach libuuid to use getrandom() or getentropy() if available in favor
62of reading from /dev/[u]random.
63
64Teach libss to use libreadline.so.8 if it is available.
65
66Update some test expect files to fix some regression tests that were
67broken in e2fsprogs 1.46.4.
68
69If the PRINT_FAILED environment variable is set, failed tests will
70display the diff output to make it easier to debug test failures on
71autobuilders.
72
73Fix various compiler warnings.
74
75Update tst_getsize to use ext2fs_get_size2() to support testing devices
76which are larger than 2**32 sectors.
77
78Fixed spelling mistakes in the mke2fs.conf man page.
79
80Update Chinese, Malay, Serbian, Spanish, Swedish, and Ukrainian
81translations.
