in testing for both architectures, please signoff. Ronald local changes: - remove libcom_err patch, it's now included upstream upstream changes: E2fsprogs 1.41.11 (March 14, 2010) E2fsck will no longer give a fatal error and abort if the physical device has been resized beyond 2**32 blocks. (Addresses Launchpad Bug: #521648) Debugfs has a bug fixed so that "logdump -b " now properly shows the allocation status of the block . (Addresses Debian Bug: #564084) E2fsck now prints a much more emphatic and hopefully scary message when a file system is detected as mounted while doing a read/write check of the filesystem. Hopefully this will dissuade users from thinking, "surely that message doesn't apply to *me*" :-( E2fsck -n will now always open the file system read-only. We now disallow certain combination of options which previously were manual exceptions; this is bad because it causes users to think they are smarter than they really are. So "-n -c", "-n -l", "-n -L", and "-n -D" are no longer supported. (Addresses Launchpad Bug: #537483) In e2fsprogs 1.41.10, mke2fs would ask for confirmation to proceed if it detected a badly aligned partition. Unfortunately, this broke some distribution installation scripts, so it now just prints the warning message and proceeds. (Addresses Red Hat Bug: #569021. Addresses Launchpad Bug: #530071) Mke2fs would take a long time to create very large journal files for ext4. This was caused by a bug in ext2fs_block_iterate2(), which is now fixed. E2fsck now understands the EOFBLOCKS_FL flag which will be used in 2.6.34 kernels to make e2fsck not complain about blocks deliberately fallocated() beyond an inode's i_size. E2fsprogs 1.41.10 introduced a regression (in commit b71e018) where e2fsck -fD can corrupt non-indexed directories when are exists one or more file names which alphabetically sort before ".". This can happen with ext2 filesystems or for small directories (take less than a lock) which contain filenames that begin with a space or some other punctuation mark. (Addresses Debian Bug: #573923, Addresses Launchpad Bug: #525114) Programmer's Notes Add new test, f_rehash_dir, which checks to make sure e2fsck -D works correctly. The libcom_err function now has support for Heimdal's com_right_r function(). (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #2963865, Addresses Debian Bug: #558910)
