e2fsprogsRecommended update for e2fsprogsRecommended update for e2fsprogsThe libuuid library in e2fsprogs has no locking mechanism
for the UUID generating function uuid_generate_time. It is
possible to get duplicate UUIDs. This patch provides
locking mechanisms which guarantees the uniqueness of the
UUIDs.
If an unknown filesystem is exists on a partition, a bug in
fsck leads to a bogus detection of the filesystem, while it
should not have detected it at all. This will result in
fsck ignoring the -t option and trying to call a non
existing fsck.type checking tool. The correct behaviour is
to get the filesystem type from the -t option if it could
not be automatically determined.
The patch also fixes a buffer overflow in mklost+found and
an issue with debugfs where an endless recursive loop is
caused if there are symlinks in /dev.
