Package: e2fsprogs
Version: 1.47.0-2
Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer,
Without using fuse at all:
# touch x
# setfacl -m u:root:rw x
# getfattr -m - -d x
# file: x
system.posix_acl_access=0sAgAAAAEABgD/////AgAGAAAAAAAEAAQA/////xAABgD/////IAAEAP////8=
When done via fuse2fs:
# which fuse2fs
/usr/bin/fuse2fs
# mkdir mnt
# fuse2fs img mnt
# touch mnt/x
# setfacl -m u:root:rw mnt/x
# getfattr -m - -d mnt/x
# file: mnt/x
system.posix_acl_access=0sAgAAAAEABgAAAAAAAgAGAAAAAAAEAAQAAAAAABAABgAAAAAAIAAEAAAAAAA=
# umount mnt
# /tmp/fuse2fs img mnt
# getfattr -m - -d mnt/x
# file: mnt/x
system.posix_acl_access=0sAgAAAAEABgD/////AgAGAAAAAAAEAAQA/////xAABgD/////IAAEAP////8=
# umount mnt
Note that the one run with my patched libext2fs gets the same value as
without using fuse without rewriting the attribute showing that this is
a read issue only.

Closes: 1106854 1108010 1108534 1118461 1125176 1126636
Changes:
e2fsprogs (1.47.4-1) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* New upstream version
* Mark libext2fs-dev as Multi-Arch: same (Closes: #1118461)
* Suppress warnings in mke2fs regarding large block sizes if the kernel
supports blocksize greater than page size
* Add mke2fs extended option in root_selinux to set a SELinux security
context label for the root directory
* Enable mke2fs to support multiple -E options in the command line.
* Fix e2fsck incorrectly flagging fast symlinks with a large external
extended attribute (using an EA inode) as having an invalid number of
blocks
* Add a check in e2fsck for an extended attributes with a value stored
in an EA inode that has an invalid zero size
* Fix e2scrub so that it the retry loop for lvremove works properly (in
case of a temporary busy failure)
* Many bug fixes for fuse2fs and libext2fs to make fuse2fs behave more
like the Linux kernel's implementation of ext4. These were found when
running fuse2fs under xfstests, and fixing the resulting test failures
(Closes: #1108534)
* Mke2fs warnings about dax are now printed to stdout instead of stderr,
since they aren't failures
* Fix mke2fs so it won't create an orphan file inode which is larger than
what the kernel now permits when using a 64k blocksize
* Fix mke2fs -d so it can handle copying a file larger than 2 GiB
* Fix e4defrag crashing when it tries to defragment an inline data f
* Various man page cleanups (Closes: #1125176)
* Set Multi-Arch same: on libext2fs2-dev to allow co-installation on
platforms such as amd64 and arm64
* Fix a FTBFS caused by a doubled pkg-config in the debian/rules which
previously silently worked, but now fails with a newer version of
pkg-config (Closes: #1126636)
.
e2fsprogs (1.47.3-1) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* New upstream version
* Update Malay translation
.
e2fsprogs (1.47.3~rc3-1) experimental; urgency=medium
.
* fix missing dependency in libext2fs2t64 for libcom-err2
(Closes: #1108010)
* e2scrub no longer runs fstrim by default, since util-linux ships
with a fstrim.timer systemd file which will run fstrim on all
mounted file systems.
* Fix a bounding error in ext2fs_fallocate() which could cause it to
allocate far more blocks than was requested. This caused a
failure in fuse2fs while formatting a loopback file system stored
in a large sparse file.
* update to debian policy 4.7.2
.
e2fsprogs (1.47.3~rc2-1) experimental; urgency=medium
.
* Add a lockfile command-line option to fuse2fs which is useful for
scripts that need to know when fuse2fs is done modifying the file system
after it is unmounted.
* Fix mke2fs -d when importing large directories (Closes: #1106854)
* Fix indention problem in the man page for mke2fs
* Fix a (hard to reproduce) extent tree corruption bug which could be
triggered by resize2fs or fuse2fs if the extent tree was especially complex
* Fix error path handling in fuse2fs when servicing an op_create request.
* Fix spurious warnings from fuse2fs while servicing an op_fallocate request.
* Fix fuse2fs to correctly translate system errors from libext2fs to the
negative error codes expected by the FUSE kernel driver.
* Update Czech, Chinese, Dutch, French, Portuguese, Polish, Romainian,
Serbian, Spanish, Swedish, and Ukrainian translations.
.
e2fsprogs (1.47.3~rc1-1) experimental; urgency=medium
.
* Mke2fs -d can now copy the fs-verity metadata and chattr flags
into newly created file system.
* Many fuse2fs improvements and bug fixes
- Add support for XATTR_CREATE and XATTR_REPLACE flags in setxattr()
- Add support for FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE.
- Add support to fuse2fs for the setting file attributes via fsxattr,
including support for nanosecond timestamps.
- Add support to set newer chattr flags.
- Fix fuse2fs support for O_APPEND, O_TRUNC, POSIX ACLs, and
the immutable flag
- Remove the ea_inode when deleting the last file using the ea_inode
- Update timestamps after mkdir() and symlink() operations
- Fix error code handling for fallocate(), truncate() and
removexattr().
- Improve handling of corrupted file systems
- Refuse to handle renameat2's RENAME_EXCHA?NGE or RENAME_WHITEOUT
flags instead of doing something random
- Avoid clearing the setgid bit in op_chmod when file's group
ownership the calling process's group list (instead of just the
primary group id).
- Align with the kernel's behaviors:
+ clearing post-EOF on truncation
+ validating FITRIM's parameters consistently with how the kernel
does things
+ how the "ro" mount option will replay the journal
+ only supporting the xattr namespaces supported by the kernel
+ clamping timestamps to the minimum and maximum value supported
by the on-disk format
+ optionally delegating access control decisions to the kernel
- Don't mount file systems which have features that fuse2fs can't
deal with.
- Return inode and type information in readdir()
- Use the actal inode numbers instead of asking fuse to make
up inode numbers
- Use a larger disk cache to improve performance and optionally
use Direct I/O.
* Add mke2fs.conf knobs to control whether the RAID stripe or stride
sizes from the storage device information depending on whether the
storage device is a rotational or non-rotational device. By default
don't set the RAID stripe size for non-rotational devices.
* Fix "e2fsck -E unshare_blocks" to clear the shared_blocks flag when
there are no shared blocks to clear
* Fix "e2fsck -n" to not abort when it trips across an EA inode which
is not referenced by any inodes in the file system.
* Fix debugfs's dump and rdump commands to avoid looping forever when
it runs across an I/O error or corupt filesystem metadata.
* Fix debugfs's dirsearch command on big-endian systems.
* Optimize ext2fs_extent_set_bmap() to avoid fragmenting the extent
tree. This fixes a problem where resize2fs is trying to relocate
all of the blocks in a file leading to the extent tree doubling in
size, and potentially leading to a corrupted extent tree.
* Fix potential livelock bug in the unix_io manager.
* Fix invaidation support in the unix_io manager.
* Various man page cleanups.
* Improve performance in e2fsck when replaying a journal with a large
number of revoke blocks (which can be the case on Lustre servers).
* Improve tune2fs's performance by avoiding scanning the file system to
update quota inodes in cases when it's not necessary.
* Update Dutch, Malay, Portuguese, and Serbian translations.
