[opensuse] e2fsprogs 1.42.7 incompatible with OpenSuSE?
Are there incompatibilities between e2fsprogs 1.42.7 (.7 = the latest version) and OpenSuSE? The reason I ask: e2fsprogs .7 is out for a while and exists for all major distributions - except OpenSuSE. Key packages like this usually appear in the OpenSuSE package search fairly quickly, but not this one. So I wonder: Is there a technical reason for that? Background: I have a 19TB ext4 file system with bigalloc that I need to resize to 23TB. e2fsprogs 1.42.6 has a bug in the resize tool that corrupts the file system when resizing. Earlier versions cannot do that at all. 1.42.7 fixed this, so I really need this version. Of course I could try to compile it myself, but if this version is known to cause problems openSuSE, then I guess I should not.

it is likely that the upgrade possibility was not spotted. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

In this case you should open bug report referring to upstream bugzilla or patch. Depending on how severe this bug is, it may even be possible for it to be included in 12.3 or at least in updates to 12.3 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
