3.14. e4fsprogs
Updated e4fsprogs packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
The e4fsprogs packages contain a number of utilities for creating, checking, modifying, and correcting inconsistencies in fourth extended (ext4 and ext4dev) file systems. e4fsprogs contains e4fsck (used to repair file system inconsistencies after an unclean shutdown), mke4fs (used to initialize a partition to contain an empty ext4 file system), tune4fs (used to modify file system parameters), and most other core ext4fs file system utilities.
Bug Fix
- BZ#1033548
- Previously, the resize4fs utility mishandled the resizing of an ext4 file system to a smaller size. As a consequence, files containing many extents could become corrupted if they were moved during the resize process. With this update, resize4fs now maintains a consistent extent tree when moving files containing many extents, and such files no longer become corrupted in this scenario.
Users of e4fsprogs are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
