E2fsprogs 1.45.3 (July 14, 2019)
================================

Updates/Fixes since v1.45.2:

UI and Features
---------------

Whether or not automatic online scrubs will be run is now controlled by a setting in /etc/e2scrub.conf. To enable automatic online scrubs, uncomment out the line containing "periodic_e2scrub=1".

The fuse2fs program is now installed in /usr/bin instead of /usr/sbin, since it does not require root privileges.

Fuse2fs now works with if fusermount from FUSE V3 is installed. However, in order to provide this compatibility, if you are using a fusermount from FUSE v2, and you want to mount on top of a non-empty directory, you will need to specify -o nonempty explicitly. FUSE V3 always allows mounting on top of non-empty directories, and will fail if the user or fuse2fs passes the nonempty option.

Fixes
-----

Fixed a bug which caused e2fsck to improperly handle file systems that enabled both the large_dir and inline directories at the same time.

E2scrub_all now correctly handles an encrypted (LUKS) ext[234] file system stacked on top of an LVM volume. (Addresses Debian Bug: #931387)

Fixed a bug in "E2scrub_all -r" where it was incorrectly specifying which volume needed to have its e2scrub snapshot cleaned up. (Addresses Debian Bug: #931679)

Fixed the Czech, Dutch, German, and Vietnamese translations which improperly used positional markers which broke a few translated e2fsck problem descriptions. (Addresses Debian Bug: #892173)

Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
--------------------------------------------------------------

Fixed various debian packaging issues. (Addresses Debian Bug: #931266, #923372)

Fixed error checking for calls to posix_{memalign,fadvise}.

Add regression test for checking a file system using fs-verity.

Various regression test cleanups.

Fixed various compiler warnings.

Added xgettext markers to fix incorrectly marked strings in the e2fsprogs translations template file as being c-style printf strings when in fact they aren't.

Added utility script which generates the release tarfile using git archive.

Update the Czech, Dutch, and Portuguese translations from the Translation Project.
