It is a +read-only compatibility feature which uses Merkle trees to add +functionality much like dm-verity on a per-file basis. For this release +we simply allow e2fsck to accept file systems with the verity feature +enable (no special handling is needed) and mke2fs to create file systems +with the verity feature. + + +Fixes +----- + +E2fsck will now properly repair a file system that has both the +resize_inode and meta_bg features enabled simultaneously (which is never +supposed to happen, but it could happen in versions of mke2fs before +1.44.3 when it was given parameters where more than 75% of the block +group was used for group descriptor tables). + +Avoid a floating point exception crash when libblkid tries probing a +maliciously corrupted HFS+ superblock. + +Debugfs's ncheck command now properly will handle inodes that have +multiple hard links. + +On platforms that don't supply strdup, the replacement function for +strdup() had a bug which would cause it to crash if it was used. +(Fortunately this only happens if the [scratch_files] feature in e2fsck +is used.) + +Fixed support for devices which have non-512 byte block sizes on Apple +Darwin. + +E2fsprogs 1.44.3 would fail to compile on very old versions of gcc. +This is now fixed. + +Update and clarify man pages. (Addresses Debian Bug: #757831) + + +Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. +-------------------------------------------------------------- + +Synchronized changes from Android's AOSP e2fsprogs tree. + +Instead of building the subset e2fsprogs-libs tar file, add a new +configure option, --enable-subset. This along with other changes (such +as dropping obsolete files that aren't shipped as part of +e2fsprogs-X.YY.tar.gz) allows us to be able to build the tarball using +the "git archive" command. + +Fixed various debian packaging issues (Addresses Debian Bug: #905195) + +Update Danish, Spanish, and Swedish translations. |
