This is the new version (1.42.5) of the second extended file
This is the new version (1.42.6) of the second extended file
system management programs.
From time to time, I release new versions of e2fsprogs, to fix

E2fsprogs 1.42.6 (September 21, 2012)
=====================================
When mke2fs creates file systems with lazy itable initialization, the
progress updates for writing the inode table happens so quickly that
on a serial console, the time to write the progress updates can be the
bottleneck. So mke2fs will now only update its progress indicators
once a second.
Resize2fs will skip initializing the inode tables if the kernel
supports lazy_itable_init, which speeds up growing off-line growth of
uninit_bg file systems significantly. Resize2fs will now also
correctly set the itable_unused field in the block group descriptor to
speed up the first e2fsck after the file system is grown.
Resize2fs has been fixed so that on-line resizing of meta_bg file
systems work correctly. This is needed to grow file system which are
larger than 16T.
Resize2fs will now correctly handle resizing file systems to 16TB on
32-bit file systems when "16TB" is specified on the command line.
Fix mke2fs so that it will be careful to set the reserved blocks ratio
larger than 50%; this can happen when creating small file systems and
when the last block group is dropped because there are not enough
blocks to support the metadata blocks in the last block group.
Fixed spelling mistake in debugfs's help message.
Fixed a potential seg fault in e2fsck when there is an I/O error while
reading the superblock.
Fixed various Debian Packaging Issues (Addresses Debian Bug #677497)
Updated/fixed various man pages. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug:
#3559210)
Programmer's Notes
------------------
The configure option --enable-relative-symlink was broken so that it
needed to be --enable-symlink-relative-symlinks. We will support both
for at least two years, but then the worng configure option will be
removed.
Fixed a regression introduced in 1.42.5 so the link order for
e2fsprogs' libraries will be correct for both static and shared
linking. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #3554345)
Add support for e2fsprogs to be compiled using clang/LLVM.
Fix portability problems on non-Linux systems: avoid compile failures
on systems that don't have malloc.h
Fix f_mmp regression test suite so that debugfs gets killed if the
test is interrupted.
E2fsprogs 1.42.5 (July 29, 2012)
================================
......
e2fsprogs (1.42.6-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream version
* Fix build dependencies to avoid requiring dc, and to allow
cross-building to work (Closes: #677497)
* Updated/fixed various man pages
* Mke2fs will now update its progress indicators at most once a second
to avoid overwhelming serial consoles.
* Resize2fs will support lazy_itable_init, speeding up off-line growth
of uninit_bg file systems.
* Resize2fs now supports on-line resizing 64-bit file systems beyond
16TB. A number of bugs in resize2fs which prevented this have been
fixed.
* Resize2fs now correctly handles resizing 32-bit file systems to 16TB.
* Fixed a potential segfault in e2fsck when there is an I/O error
while reading the superblock.
