1 2001-01-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
3 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Change user
4 interface so that -J is used to specify journal options,
5 and -j is used to request creation of a journal using
6 default values. (This is a UI change, but we haven't done
7 a formal release, and it makes things much more consistent
8 with the rest of the options out there.)
10 * tune2fs.c: Add support for removing a filesystem from an
11 external journal; we correctly remove the filesystem UUID
12 from the external journal's filesystem list.
14 * util.h, util.c (journal_default_size): New function from Andreas
15 Dilger to calculate an appropriate default journal size
16 given a filesystem size.
18 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Allow the creation of a journal as
21 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Use s_first_data_block
22 to find the correct block to read the journal superblock.
24 2001-01-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
26 * tune2fs.c: Changed the external journal code so that it simply
27 adds a filesystem to a journal; the journal must have bene
28 created via "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX".
30 * mke2fs.c: Add support for creating an external journal device by
31 using the command "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX". Also
32 changed the external journal code so -j device=/dev/XXX it
33 simply adds a filesystem to that journal; the journal must
34 have been created via separate step.
36 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Add support for dumping
37 information about an external journal device.
39 2001-01-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
41 * mke2fs.c: Add new filesystem types, largefile and largefile4,
42 for those filesystems whose average inode size is 1MB and
43 4MB, respectively. Allow the inode ratio specified to be
44 has high as 4MB. Make the s_max_mount_count vary between
45 20 and 40, to avoid needing to check all of the
46 filesystems at the same time. Add some random jitter to
47 the s_max_mount_count value so that we avoid checking all
48 of the filesystems at the same time when we reboot.
50 * tune2fs.8.in: Add description of the -j option.
52 * tune2fs.c (add_journal): Minor fixes from Andreas Dilger. Flush
53 stdout after printing in-progress message.
54 (main): Exit with status code 1 if we failed to determine
55 the mount status of the device.
57 2001-01-11 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
59 * e2image.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c,
60 uuidgen.c: Fix gcc -Wall complaints, including one bug in
61 tune2fs caused by a block automatic shadowing version of
62 the variable we really wanted to use, which broke the
63 logic testing to see if the filesystem was mounted.
65 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use ext2fs_sync_device() to sync and
68 * mke2fs.c: Change ino_t to ext2_ino_t.
70 2001-01-08 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
72 * Makefile.in, tune2fs.c: Move e2label functionality into tune2fs,
73 using argv[0] as a dispatch. This allows e2label to be
74 (more) safely used on mounted filesystems.
76 2001-01-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
78 * get_device_by_label.h (get_volume_label_by_spec): Add function
81 * get_device_by_label.c: Use string_copy() instead of strdup() for
82 portability's sake. Fix a few other gcc -Wall
85 * fsck.c (string_copy): Export string_copy() extern.
87 * badblocks.c: Fix various gcc -Wall complaints, including
88 an incorrect reference to sync in flush_bufs().
90 2001-01-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
92 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, add_journal): Moved to separate
93 functions. Added ability to add and remove the journal
94 while the filesystem is live. Added support for setting
95 a time-based UUID. Removed zero-initialized static variables.
97 * mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (strcasecmp, proceed_question,
98 check_plausibility, parse_journal_opts, check_mount):
99 Moved functions to util.c so they can be used by tune2fs.
101 * mke2fs.c (main): Change ext2fs_add_journal_fs() to
102 ext2fs_add_journal_inode() to reflect function renaming.
104 2001-01-01 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
106 * mke2fs.c, e2image.c: Removed references to struct ext2fs_sb to
107 struct ext2_super_block.
109 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support to allow HAS_JOURNAL flag to be
110 cleared, but only if the filesystem is unmounted or
111 mounted read-only. Changed struct ext2fs_sb to struct
112 ext2_super_block, and cleaned up old code which was needed
113 for old versions of ext2_fs.h (not needed since we're
114 using our own version now).
116 2000-12-31 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
118 * fsck.c (check_all): Call interpet_device to resolve LABEL= and
119 UUID= right away so that the device_already_active() logic
120 can do the right thing. Also cleaned up the the root
121 filesystem logic checking code; fixed up a logic bug with
122 the parallel_root option.
124 * lsattr.1.in: Add pointer to chattr man page for definition of
127 * lsattr.c (list_attributes): Minor cleanup to smooth out logic
128 flow. Also removed static initialized variables to zero.
130 * chattr.c (decode_arg, get_flag): Use a table-driven method for
131 decoding the ext2 file flags character options. Add
132 support for the journaled data flag.
134 * chattr.1.in: Document the -j/+j/=j flag.
136 2000-12-30 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
138 * mke2fs.8.in: Minor clarity edit.
140 * mke2fs.c (usage): Document the -j option.
141 (main): Print the number blocks used in the journal.
143 2000-12-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
145 * base_device.c (base_device): Add support for DAC960 device
148 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Handle the case where
149 base_device doesn't know how to interpret the device name,
150 instead of core dumping.
152 2000-12-09 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
154 * mke2fs.c (main, parse_journal_opts): Add support for creating V1
155 superblocks. We now pass in a journal_flags field to the
156 journal creation routines for this purpose.
158 * mke2fs.c: Remove zero initializers to save a few bytes from the
159 executable image. (Are we excited yet?)
161 * findsuper.c: And non-subtle copyright licensing restriction to
162 get Yann to remove this program from the Debian package. :-)
164 2000-12-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
166 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Change to use new version of
167 base_device() which now returns dynamically allocated
170 * base_device.c (base_device): New version moved from fsck.c which
171 now understands ugly devfs names. (Debian bug #65181)
173 * base_device.tst: Test case for base_device.c
175 2000-12-02 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
177 * fsck.8.in: Add clarification that filesystems with a fs_passno
178 of 0 are skipped with the -A option. (Debian wishlist/bug
181 * fsck.c (wait_one): When we let a new fsck take control of the
182 console to display the progress bar, set FLAG_PROGRESS to
183 so that fsck knows not to start new processes during an
184 fsck pass with the progress bar. (Should fix debian bug
187 * tune2fs.8.in: Add clarifying statement about converting user and
188 group names to uid's before storing them in the
189 superblock. (Debian bug #67446)
191 2000-11-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
193 * mke2fs.c(main): Expand the -j option so that it parses
194 option=argument style options, and add support for
195 creating filesystems with external journals.
197 * mke2fs.8.in: Document new syntax for the -j option.
199 2000-11-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
201 * e2image.c, Makefile.in: New program which saves ext2 metadata to
202 a file for people who need a last-ditch saving throw.
204 2000-10-24 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
206 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Applied Andreas Dilger's patch to make the -r -s
207 handling a bit more sane. (Even though -s is deprecated
210 * get_device_by_label.c: Apply fix from Erik Troan to support 16
213 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Add a special case check for MD
214 devices, so we don't try to check them in parallel with
217 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main), mke2fs.8.in: Add support for the -j
218 option, which builds an ext2/3 filesystem with an ext3
221 2000-10-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
223 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix really stupid typo which gcc 2.95
226 2000-09-12 <tytso@valinux.com>
228 * fsck.c: Add base device definitions for hd[e-h], for those
229 systems with four IDE interfaces.
231 2000-09-11 <tytso@valinux.com>
233 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix error message printed when zap_sector
236 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fixed format string bug when printing
237 the inode table location in non-hex format.
239 2000-08-20 <tytso@valinux.com>
241 * get_device_by_label.c: Add call to ext2fs_find_block_device if
242 we can't find the device using the name given by
243 /proc/partitions. (This can happen if devfs is compiled
244 into the kernel, but not mounted.)
246 2000-06-27 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolabs.com>
248 * dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option
249 to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for
250 location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors
252 * mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict
254 2000-08-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
256 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general
258 (main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to
259 avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.
261 2000-07-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
263 * get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in
264 fsck, and speed up fsck -a.
266 2000-07-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
268 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.19
270 2000-07-13 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
272 * badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options
273 are mutually exclusive.
275 * badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the
276 block count must be specified if the starting block is to
277 be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in
280 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing
281 variable before going into the write verification loop.
282 This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block
283 on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal
284 while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The
285 num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get
286 clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no
287 longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup
290 * badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size).
291 Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option
292 to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing
293 the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf
296 2000-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
298 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as
299 fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of
300 the progress bar display logic.
302 * tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if
303 max_mount_count is negative.
305 * tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be
306 negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a
309 * fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation
310 for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root
311 privileges if the partitions need to be scanned.
312 Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for
313 removeable devices such as floppies if there are any
314 LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab.
316 * badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem
317 is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive
318 test. This can be overriden using the new -f option.
320 * badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the
321 blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly
322 document the start-block parameter. Added documentation
325 * badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be
326 optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the
329 2000-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
331 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that
332 it's more obviously what's going on. Fixed a few
333 potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the
334 old, overly complicated logic.
335 (flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and
336 always forces a sync; this is required before it's really
337 safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels.
339 2000-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
341 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
342 filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
343 size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
344 argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.
346 2000-05-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
348 * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
349 or LABEL= specification is given.
351 * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
352 the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
353 (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
354 to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
355 that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
356 feature for the forseeable future, either.)
358 * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
359 proceed_question that was busted due to the
360 internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if
361 proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
362 cleared of the previous question's newline.
364 Thu Apr 6 17:50:25 2000 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@signal.thunk.org>
366 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't
369 2000-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
371 * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
372 uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
373 manually define optarg and optind.
375 * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
378 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
379 now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
380 longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
381 (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
383 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
384 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
386 chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
388 2000-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
391 * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
393 * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
395 * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
397 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
398 blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
400 * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
401 Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
402 #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
403 file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
406 * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
407 The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
408 Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.
410 2000-02-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
412 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
413 fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
414 mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
415 uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
416 suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
418 * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
419 Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
420 removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
421 clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
422 code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
423 was interrupted at the wrong time.)
425 * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
427 2000-02-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
429 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
430 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
431 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
432 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
433 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
435 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
436 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
438 * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h
440 2000-01-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
442 * tune2fs.c (usage): Update the usage message to correctly
443 document the -s option.
445 2000-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
447 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
448 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
449 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
450 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
452 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
453 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
454 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
455 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
456 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
457 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
458 Finally, the original data is written back.
460 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
461 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
462 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
463 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
464 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
465 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
466 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
467 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
468 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
469 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
470 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
471 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
472 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
473 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
474 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
476 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
477 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
478 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
481 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
482 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
484 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
485 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
486 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
487 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
488 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
489 and want the host hard drive to flush.
491 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
492 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
493 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
494 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
495 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
496 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
497 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
498 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
501 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
502 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
503 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
504 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
505 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
506 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
507 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
508 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
509 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
510 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
511 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
512 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
513 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
514 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
517 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
518 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
519 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
520 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
521 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
522 for your information.
524 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
525 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
526 which I install which will write back whatever original
527 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
528 (except SIGKILL, of course).
530 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
531 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
532 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
533 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
534 could learn how to update the manpage and other
535 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
536 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
537 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
538 should be in the distribution."
540 2000-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
542 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
543 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
544 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
546 1999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>
548 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix man page so that the sparse_super filesystem
549 option is properly named.
551 1999-11-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
553 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
554 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
555 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
557 1999-11-19 <tytso@valinux.com>
559 * Makefile.in (distclean): Remove TAGS and Makefile.in.old from
560 the source directory.
562 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
564 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.18
566 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
568 * mke2fs.8.in: Update manual page so that the sparse_option
569 filesystem option is properly named.
571 1999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
573 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
574 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
575 fsck -As can do so interactively.
577 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
579 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.17
581 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
583 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
584 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
585 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
587 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
588 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
589 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
590 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
592 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
593 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
594 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
597 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
598 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
599 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
600 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
603 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
604 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
606 1999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
608 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
610 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
611 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
612 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
614 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
615 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
618 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
620 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16
622 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
624 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
625 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
626 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
627 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
629 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
630 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
631 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
632 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
634 1999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>
636 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
637 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
638 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
639 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
640 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
642 1999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
644 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
645 changing the sparse superblock option
647 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
648 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
649 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
652 1999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
654 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
655 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
657 1999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
659 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
662 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
665 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
666 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
669 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
672 1999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
674 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
677 1999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
679 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
681 1999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
683 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
684 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
685 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
686 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
687 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
688 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
689 the filesystem the system would make.
691 1999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
693 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
694 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
695 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
696 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
697 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
699 1999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
701 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
702 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
703 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
705 1999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
707 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
708 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
710 1999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
712 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
713 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
714 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
715 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
716 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
717 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
719 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
720 UUID=bar type specifications.
722 1999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
724 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
725 clear out a large block number.
727 1999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
729 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
730 appears mounted if the force option is given.
732 1999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
734 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
735 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
737 1999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
739 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
742 1999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
744 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
745 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
746 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
747 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
749 1999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
751 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
754 1999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
756 * fsck.c (fsck_device, execute): Don't dereference a null pointer
757 when checking a filesystem not in /etc/fstab.
759 1999-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
761 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
762 in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
763 Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
764 the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.
766 1999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
768 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
769 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
770 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
771 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
772 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
773 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
775 1999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
777 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
778 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
779 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
781 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
782 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
785 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
787 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.14

797 needs to be treated as zero.
799 1999-01-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
801 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Allow the user to specify exactly how many
802 inodes he/she wishes.
804 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Only print the version information for the
805 program if the -V option is given.
807 * chattr.c: Ignore symbolic links when doing a recursive descent
810 1999-01-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
812 * fsck.c (load_fs_info, parse_fstab_line): Ignore fstab lines
813 are commented out. Also allow blank lines in the
815 (execute): In verbose mode, print the mountpount of the
816 filesystem which we are checking (user request).
818 1998-12-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
820 * mke2fs.c: Add definition of SCSI_BLK_MAJOR if not defined, for

825 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.13
827 1998-12-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
829 * mke2fs.8.in: Fixed stupid typo ("Raid options are _comma_
830 seperated", instead of common separated)
832 1998-12-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
834 * Makefile.in: Updated dependencies.
836 1998-11-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
838 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
839 relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of
840 allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.
842 1998-11-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
844 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor display bug in the nroff.
846 * mke2fs.c (show_stats, write_inode_tables): Use the log10

888 1998-03-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
890 * Makefile.in: Change to use new installation directory variables
891 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
892 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
893 target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the
894 cat directory in /usr/man/cat?.
896 1998-03-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
898 * e2label.8.in: New man page to document the e2label function.

916 that the label will be truncated.
918 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
919 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
920 warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.
922 1998-03-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
924 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Fixed spelling typo in warning

1145 * tune2fs.c: Added support for the -L option which sets the volume
1146 label, the -M option which sets the last mounted
1147 directory, and the -U option which sets the filesystem UUID.
1150 * mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the
1151 creator OS. Generate a UUID for the filesystem, if
1152 applicable. Added support for the -L option which sets
1153 the volume label, and the -M option which sets the last
1156 Sat Jun 22 17:43:17 1996 Remy Card <card@bbj.linux.eu.org>
1158 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Integrated Michael Nonweiler's fix to
1159 avoid a segmentation fault when the "-v" option is used
1160 and no version number is specified.
1162 Thu May 16 11:12:30 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1164 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.04
1166 Wed May 15 21:15:43 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1168 * Makefile.in (fsck): fsck doesn't need to be linked with the ext2
1171 Wed Mar 27 00:33:40 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1173 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.03
1175 Thu Mar 7 03:43:20 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1177 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add (for development only) support to
1178 specify revision and inode size of the new filesystem.
1180 Tue Mar 5 03:51:35 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1182 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix a few minor typo's in the man page.
1184 * mke2fs.c (reserve_inodes): Add support for dynamic first inode
1187 Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1189 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
1190 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
1191 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
1192 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
1193 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
1194 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
1195 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
1196 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
1199 Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1201 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.02
1203 Tue Oct 30 21:14:12 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1205 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add check to warn user if they
1206 are trying to mke2fs the whole disk. (/dev/hda
1209 Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1211 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
1212 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
1213 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
1214 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
1215 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
1217 Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1219 * dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to
1222 Mon Oct 30 20:21:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1224 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a
1225 stupid typo which caused coredumps in some cases.
1227 Thu Oct 26 12:05:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1229 * Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed.
1231 Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1233 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
1234 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
1235 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
1237 Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1239 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
1242 Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1244 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
1245 function to determine if the device is mounted.
1247 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
1248 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
1249 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
1250 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
1252 Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1254 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
1255 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
1256 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
1259 Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1268 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
1270 Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1272 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
1273 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
1274 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
1277 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
1279 Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1281 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
1282 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the
1283 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
1285 Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1287 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
1288 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
1289 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
1290 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
1293 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
1294 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
1295 alloca is not portable!
1297 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
1298 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
1301 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
1303 Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
1305 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
1308 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
1310 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1311 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
1313 Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1315 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1316 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
1318 Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1320 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
1322 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
1323 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
1325 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
1327 Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1329 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
1330 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
1331 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
1332 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1334 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
1335 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1336 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
1337 statically sized buffer.
1338 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
1339 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
1341 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
1342 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
1343 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
1344 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
1345 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
1347 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
1348 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
1349 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
1350 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
1353 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
1354 support separate compilation directories.
1356 Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
1358 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
1359 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
1360 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
1361 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
1363 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
1364 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
1365 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
1366 very large partition.
1368 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
1369 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
1370 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
1372 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
1373 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
1374 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
1375 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
1376 ioctl, which most do.)
1378 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
1379 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
1380 during 0.5b development.)
1382 Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1384 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
1385 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
1386 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
1387 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
1390 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
1391 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
1392 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
1394 Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1396 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
1398 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
1399 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
1400 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
1402 Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1404 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
1406 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
1408 Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
1410 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
1411 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
1412 all partitions should be checked.
1414 Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
1416 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
1419 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
1422 Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1424 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
1425 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
1427 Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
1429 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
1431 Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
1433 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
1436 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
1438 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
1440 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
1442 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
1444 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
1446 Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
1448 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
1449 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
1450 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
1451 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
1452 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
1454 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
1455 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
1456 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
1457 statistics if necessary.
