The main fixes between 1.42.2-2 and 1.42.3 are fixes for in-filesystem (hidden) quota support, and some fixes for > 16TB file systems for 32-bit x86 machines. However it turns out there are some additional > 16TB bugs (for all architectures) that I only recently noticed, so there will be a 1.42.4 coming in short order. At this point the only thing going into 1.42.x series will be very minor (and thus low-risk) and/or very high priority bug fixes.
i.e., right now in all unreleased versions of 1.42.x e2fsprogs, replaying a journal on a > 16TB file system could result in corruption of the file system and/or data. So that would make the cut for 1.42.4. :-/ ... and so 1.42.4 will probably be forthcoming very soon.... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/978012 Title: Please merge e2fsprogs 1.42.2-2 (main) from Debian unstable (main) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/e2fsprogs/+bug/978012/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
