[Mageia-dev] [RFC] freeze push: e2fsprogs

[Thierry Vignaud]

Hi

A new e2fsprogs has been released (1.42.3) fixing a couple issues with 1.42.2
(the one we have), including a regression

Do you think we should upgrade to it ?

See the releases notes:
(http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net/e2fsprogs-release.html#1.42.3)

"Fix a bug in the Unix I/O manager which could cause corruption of file
systems with more than 16TB when e2fsprogs is compiled in 32-bit mode
(i.e., when unsigned long is 32-bits). Also fix a bug which caused
dumpe2fs to incorrectly display block numbers > 32-bits.

Improve the support for integrated quota files (where quota is a first
class supported feature using hidden files in the ext4 file
system). Previously the quota file was getting rewritten even when it
was not necessary, and e2fsck would erroneously try to hide quota
files which were already hidden.

Quiet complaints in e2fsck when the total free blocks or inodes are
incorrect in the superblock after an system crash, since we don't
update nor depend on the superblock summaries at each commit boundary.

Fixed a regression introduced in 1.42.2 which would cause applications
outside of e2fsprogs which did not pass the EXT2_FLAG_64BIT (and so
would were still using the legacy 32-bit bitmaps) to crash. This was
due to missing 32-bit compat code in side the function
ext2fs_find_first_zero_generic_bmap(). (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla:
#808421)

Fix a bug which would cause mke2fs to fail creating the journal if
/etc/mtab and /proc/mounts are missing. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug:
#3509398)"
