Note that there a large number of bug fixes in e2fsprogs 1.42.x maint branch since 1.42.4 at this point, including fixing bugs which can cause massive data corruption when using resize2fs on 64-bit file systems, as well as fixes to e2fsck, including bugs which could e2fsck to crash in some cases, as well as certain file system corruptions which older versions of e2fsck will fail to fix.
The changes are indeed large, but hey, that's why enterprise distros get paid the big bucks. If it's too hard, maybe the simpler thing to do is to make e2fsprogs available in a ppa, and simply telling users to use the ppa for the fixed versions of e2fsprogs. -- 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 SRU micro bug fix release of e2fsprogs 1.42.4-3ubuntu1 (main) from Quantal (main) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/e2fsprogs/+bug/978012/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
