We should update the e4fsprogs in RHEL5.4 to the latest upstream (at least e2fsprogs-1.41.4), as there have been many ext4-related enhancements and bugfixes. This may include > 16T fixes if it shakes out in time.
Updated to e2fsprogs-1.41.4 in cvs; leaving open as we may yet have more updates (esp. for the > 16T work)
Holding off a bit longer; 1.41.5 is expected this week, and fixes some resize issues.
e4fsprogs-1.41.5-1.el5 committed & building ....
Release note added. If any revisions are required, please set the "requires_release_notes" flag to "?" and edit the "Release Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: This release contains an updated version of e4fsprogs, an updated copy of e2fsprogs, to be used when administering ext4 filesystems. This release of e4fsprogs is based on e2fsprogs-1.41.5, and contains many important updates and bugfixes. This package contains some renamed utilities such as debuge4fs and tune4fs, so that the newer versions can be installed alongside the original e2fsprogs utilities without disruption.
