#1857 e2fsprogs bump for F11 - 1.41.4-10.fc11
Closed: Fixed None Opened 14 years ago by sandeen.

For:

Bug 499452 - error found with fsck after resizing during live image creation

due to an error handling bug in the extents code in e2fsprogs, trying to resize to a too-small value could corrupt the filesystem. The livecd process does a binary search between 0 and the current fs size when it's looking for the smallest possible resize, so there are a few opportunities to hit this ... :(

Rather than mess with the extents code in the 11th hour, however, I've added a patch which fixes the minimum resize calculation (which should have enough padding so that resizing to that value won't fail), and added a check to ensure that we don't even try to resize to a size below that.

It's worked in my livecd testing.

This may also resolve

Bug 501000 - FSError: filesystem check failed: 8

but since there was no output from fsck there, it's hard to know for sure.

Thanks,
-Eric
