(Addresses Sourceforge +Bug: #1751393)</P> + +<P>Fix bug in resize2fs when large (greater than 128 byte) inodes are +moved when a filesystem is shrunk; it was only moving the first 128 +bytes, so extended attributes were not getting moved. (Addresses Red +Hat Bugzilla: #434893)</P> + +<P>E2fsck now prints an explicit message when the bad block inode is +updated, to avoid confusion about why the filesystem was modified. +(Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #756460)</P> + +<P>Allow mke2fs and tune2fs manipulate the large_file feature. +Previously we just let the kernel and e2fsck do this automatically, +but e2fsck will no longer automatically clear the large_file feature. +It still isn't really necessary to worry about this feature flag +explicitly, but some users seem to care.

(Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1096315)</P> + +<P>Change e2fsck to no longer clear the LARGE_FILES feature flag +automatically, when there are no more > 2GB files in the filesystem. +It's been almost a decade since there have been kernels that don't +support this flag, and e2fsck clears it quietly without telling the +user why the filesystem has been changed.</P> + +<P>Fix bug which could cause libblkid to seg fault if a device mapper +volume disappears while it is being probed. (Addresses RedHat +Bugzilla: #433857)</P> + +<P>Inhance e2fsck's reporting of unsupported filesystem feature flags. +(Addresses Sourceforge Feature Request: #1175808)</P> + +<P>Fix option syntax in dumpe2fs for explicit superblock and blocksize +parameters. What was currently documented in the man page has been +broken for some time, due to getopt() implementation changes. The +option sytax has been changed to one which is can be more portable +supported and which is consistent with the format for extended options +in mke2fs and tune2fs. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1830994)</P> + +<P>Add support to tune2fs to clear the resize_inode feature. This +requires an fsck afterwards.
