RHBA-2013:1502 - e2fsprogs bug fix update
Synopsis
e2fsprogs bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
Updated e2fsprogs packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The e2fsprogs packages provide a number of utilities for creating, checking, modifying, and correcting any inconsistencies in the ext2 file systems.
This update fixes the following bug:
- The resize2fs utility did not properly handle resizing of an ext4 file system to a smaller size. As a consequence, files containing many extents could become corrupted if they were moved during the resize process. With this update, resize2fs now maintains a consistent extent tree when moving files containing many extents, and such files no longer become corrupted in this scenario. (BZ#1023351)
Users of e2fsprogs are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/articles/11258
