-E2fsprogs 1.39-WIP (December 31, 2005)
-======================================
+E2fsprogs 1.39-WIP (March 29, 2006)
+===================================
+
+Dumpe2fs will now print the size of the journal (if present).
+
+Fix 32-bit cleanliness in e2fsprogs so that we can support filesystems
+between 2**31 and 2**32 blocks.
+
+Fix mklost+found so that it creates a full-sized directory on
+filesystems with larger block sizes.
+
+Fix a file descriptor leak in blkid library.
+
+Change mke2fs to use /etc/mke2fs.conf as a configuration file to
+configure the filesystem features, blocksize, and inode_ratio for
+different filesystem types.
+
+The e2fsprogs tools (resize2fs, e2fsck, mke2fs) will open the
+filesystem device node in exclusive mode to prevent accidents by
+system administrators. In the case of resize2fs and mke2fs, it will
+only use exclusive mode if the filesystem is not mounted.
+
+Fixed a bug in mke2fs which caused it to to fail when creating the
+resize inode for large filesystems. (Addresses Debian Bug #346580)
+
+Add support for on-line resizing to resize2fs.
+
+Fix blkid library so that logic to determine whether or not a device's
+cached information in /etc/blkid.tab needs to be verified or not
+doesn't get confused by a system clock which is insane (for example,
+if the battery is dead on a Macintosh running PPC Linux. (Addresses
+Red Hat Bug: #182188)
+
+The blkid library will now store the UUID of the external journal used
+by ext3 filesystems, so that in the future, the userspace mount binary
+can use this to find the location of the external journal and pass
+this information to the kernel.
E2fsck will now consult a configuration file, /etc/e2fsck.conf to
-control how various options should be handled. The configuration file
-uses an extended Windows .ini file format. A configuration file is
-broken into multiple stanza's, where a stanza is begun by a line
-containing the stanza label in square brackets, e.g., "[options]".
-After the stanza label, one or more key/value pairs can be specified
-using the syntax: "key = value". The key may not contain any spaces,
-although whitespace may appear before the key, and spaces before or
-after the equal sign are also ignored.
+control how various options should be handled. See the e2fsck.conf
+man page for more details. (Addresses Debian Bug: #150295)
-Add support to /etc/e2fsck.conf for the boolean configuration
-parameter allow_cancellation in the options stanza:
-
- [options]
- allow_cancellation = true
-
-If allow_cancellation is specified, then if the user interrupts e2fsck
-with a ^C, if the filesystem does not have any known problems, and was
-known to be cleanly unmounted, then e2fsck will exit with a status
-code of 0 instead of 32 (FSCK_CANCELED) so that the bootup scripts
-will continue without stopping the boot. (Addresses Debian Bug:
-#150295)
-
-
-Add support to /etc/e2fsck.conf for the problems stanza, which allows
-a system adminsitrator to customize how e2fsck will handle a
-particular filesystem problem. For example the following will prevent
-orphaned files from stopping the boot process:
-
- [problems]
- 0x040002 = {
- preen_ok = true
- description = "@u @i %i. "
- }
-
-(Of course, this is not always a good idea, since critical files that
-are needed for the security of the system could potentially end up in
-lost+found, and starting the system without first having a system
-administrator checkthings out may be dangerous.) Currently, the
-following parameters are supported for each problem code: description,
-preen_ok, no_ok, no_default, print_message_only, preen_nomessage,
-no_collate, no_nomsg, preen_noheader. It will be necessary to consult
-the e2fsck source code to find specific problem codes, and the
-meanings of the various problem handling flags.
-
+E2fsck now prints an explanatory message when delaying a filesystem
+check when the system is running on battery. (Addresses Debian Bug:
+#350306)
E2fsck will detect if the superblock's last mount field or last write
field is in the future, and offer to fix if so. (Addresses Debian Bug
