This is annoying, and +has been fixed.</P> + +<P>E2fsck can now continue even if it fails to recreate the resize +inode; previously it would just abort the file system check +altogether.</P> + +<P>E2fsck could potentially remove directory entries for inodes found in +the unused region of the inode table; this would generally happen on +ext4 file systems that do not use journaling. This bug has been fixed +by not clearing these directory entries once it has been established +that bg_unused_inodes may not be trustworthy; once pass #2 has been +completed, e2fsck will restart the file system check from the +beginning, and then it will be safe to delete any directory entries +pointing to inodes that appear to be deleted. (Addresses Google Bug: +#2642165)</P> + +<P>E2fsck will not try to set the block group checksums if the user +cancels the fsck with a control-C. It's a bad idea to set the +checksums if e2fsck hasn't been completed, and it often results an the +error message, "Inode bitmap not loaded while setting block group +checksum info". (Addresses Launchpad Bug: #582035)</P> + +<P>The mke2fs program now queries the kernel for the physical as well as +the logical sector size, and will not allow a blocksize below the +logical, and will strongly encourage a blocksize at least as big as +the physical blocksize. This is needed for 4k sector drives that +emulate 512 byte sector sizes.</P> + +<P>Mke2fs will now allow a flex_bg size of 1. This is unusual, and +rarely needed, but it is a legal value.</P> + +<P>E2fsck will check for cases where the EOFBLOCKS_FL is set when it is +not needed, and offer to clear it; this is a sign of a kernel bug, but +more importantly, some released kernels may crash when this situation +is encountered on ext4 file systems. (Addresses Google Bug: #2604224)</P> + +<P>E2fsck will use the EOFBLOCKS_FL flag exclusively to check whether +i_size is correct. (Kernels starting with 2.6.34 will set +EOFBLOCKS_FL.)</P> + +<P>The com_err library will now only output ^M (a CR character) when the +tty is in raw mode.</P> + +<P>Update the Czech, Chinese, Dutch, French, Germany, Indonesian, Polish, +and Vietnamese translations.</P> + +<P>Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for +details.

Long-term, if we care about reduced e2fsprogs +builds, we need a more general solution for deciding what .o files are +needed for a particular build.
