1.44.1. RHBA-2009:1291: bug fix and enhancement update
An updated e2fsprogs package that fixes various bugs and adds an enhancement is now available.
The e2fsprogs package contains a number of utilities that create, check, modify, and correct inconsistencies in second extended (ext2) file systems. e2fsprogs contains e2fsck (which repairs file system inconsistencies after an unclean shutdown), mke2fs (which initializes a partition to contain an empty ext2 file system), tune2fs (which modifies file system parameters), and most of the other core ext2fs file system utilities.
This updated version of e2fsprogs addresses the following issues:
- when mke2fs or resize2fs was run on a device of exactly 2^32 file system blocks (16 terabytes for 4 kilobit blocks), these commands would fail with a "File too large" error, because the maximum file system size was 2^32-1 blocks. mke2fs and resize2fs now round down by one block to allow the commands to succeed for devices of exactly 2^32 blocks, and the error no longer presents. ( BZ#241285 )
- the German localization of an e2fsprogs process contained a typographical error. This has been corrected and the correct line now displays. (BZ#488960)
- the e2fsck method, pass3, would use a pointer regardless of whether it contained a null value. This would result in a segfault. The method has been corrected and the problem no longer presents. ( BZ#505110 )
- the ismounted method was set to use two arguments when it required three. This has been corrected, and the method now works as expected. ( BZ#505110 )
- the debugfs method, logdump, performed a call to fclose without checking that the value being passed was not null. This would result in segfault. The method now checks for a null before attempting to pass the value, and does not call fclose if a null is present. (BZ#505110)
- a typographical error in the uuidd initscript that caused an incorrect status to me set has been corrected. (BZ#506080)
The updated package also includes the following enhancement:
- running mke2fs on devices larger than 8 terabytes required the "-F" (force) option to succeed. This update removes that requirement. (BZ#241285)
All users should upgrade to this updated package, which resolves the listed issues and adds the noted enhancement.
