Bug#401622: Not ready to release, too much bitrot, breaks new ext2/3 features
Package: defrag
Version: 0.73pjm1-8
Severity: grave
Hi,
I'm requesting the removal of defrag from etch. Several new ext2/3
features have been introduced since there was last developement on
e2defrag and they are becomming default options for etch now. That
means that defrag will destroy data on any ext2/3 filesystem created
in etch with default options.
While e2defrag can still be used on (really) old filesystems or with
the new features turned off I feal the risk of data loss is to grave
to call it stable. So please remove defrag from etch.
MfG
Goswin
