- removed dumpe2fs-add-man-page-warning-about-mounted-fil.patch
deprecated by this release
- refreshed e2fsprogs-1.41.1-splash_support.patch
- added several patches to fix warnings generated by the check_gcc_output
and rpmlint
- update to 1.42
* this release has support for file systems >16TB. online resize
requires kernel support which will hopefully be in kernel version
3.2. offline support is not yet available for >16TB, but will be
coming
* this release has support for clustered allocation, which reduces
the number of block (now cluster) bitmaps by allocating and
deallocating space in contiguous power-of-2 collections of blocks,
which are called clustered. This is a filesystem level feature
called 'bigalloc', which must be enabled when the filesystem is
inititally formatted. It is not backwards compatible with older
kernels.
* added support for the Multi-Mount Protection (MMP) feature
* The mke2fs and e2fsck programs now tries to use the punch hole command
as a "discard" when operating on normal files.
* The resize2fs program now has support for a new online resize ioctl
that can support file systems > 16TB, once it arrives in v3.x kernels.
* Added e4defrag tool which uses the EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT ioctl.
* Added support for journals larger than 2GB.
* Added internationalization support for libcom_err error table strings.
* Fixed various spelling mistakes found in various output strings found by
I18N translators.
* Update translations: French, Chinese, Germany, Indonesian, Swedish,
Vietnamese, Polish, Dutch, Czech. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #520985,
#620659)
