If +the size is larger than the number of blocks found in the inode, don't +try to allocate extra empty blocks at the end of the directory to make +up the difference; there's no point to doing that. In addition, if +the size is not a multiple of a blocksize, always fix it.</P> + +<P>E2fsck handled a pass 2 "should never happen error" by not giving +enough information and then core dumping. Unfortunately, it was all +too easy to trigger the "should never happen" situation if a +directory's inode size was not correct. This has been fixed, but +e2fsck has also been taught how to handle this situation more +gracefully, by simply removing the inode hash tree information, so +that it can be rebuilt again after e2fsck's pass 3. (Addresses +Launchpad Bug: #129395)</P> + +<P>Resize2fs had a bug resizing large inodes with extended attributes +that was fixed in 1.40.6; unfortunately, it turned out it wasn't fixed +completely on big-endian systems such as PowerPC. The bug should be +completely fixed now. Yay for regression test suites. (Addresses Red +Hat Bugzilla: #434893)</P> + +<P>Updated German, Czech, Dutch, Polish, Sweedish, and Vietnamese +translations. Many thanks to Philipp Thomas from Novell for stepping +up to become the new German translation maintainer!
