3 * tune2fs.8.in: Clarify how the -c and -C options work.
5 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Don't give a confusing error
6 message if the user specifies an check time interval
7 greater than a year; it's probably a bad idea, but it's
8 not worth it to complain.
10 2006-05-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
12 * mke2fs.c (test_disk): Pass the private option -X to badblocks so
13 that mke2fs -cc works again. (Addresses Debian bug:
16 * badblocks.c (main, check_mount): Add a private option, -X, which
17 is only intended for use by mke2fs and e2fsck to signal
18 that it's OK to skip the EXT2_MF_BUSY test since mke2fs
19 and e2fsck already have the block device opened
20 exclusively (and therefore no one else does).
22 2006-05-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
24 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables, setup_lazy_bg, main): Add support
25 for the COMPAT_LAZY_BG feature. This is currently
26 intended for debugging purposes only, as a way to create
27 very large filesystems stored on sparse files for testing
30 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Print out the block group flags if they

51 shared journals are not currently supported. (Addresses
54 2006-03-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
56 * Makefile.in: Make sure $(DESTDIR)/usr/share/man/man5 exists when
57 installing the man page. Make sure the compressed version
58 of the man pages are deleted when installing the man
61 2006-03-23 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
63 * mklost+found.c (main): Use a larger counter field so that we can
64 create enough directory entries that we can make a full
65 lost+found directory with larger block sizes.
67 * mke2fs.conf, mke2fs.conf.5.in: New configuration file which when
68 installed, provides mke2fs's old behaviour. It makes it
69 easier for distributions to change which filesystem
70 options are the default.
72 * mke2fs.8.in: Update man page to document how the filesystem
75 * mke2fs.c: Radically rework how the filesystem features are set
76 when creating filesystems. Use the profile library to
77 read in a configuration file from /etc/mke2fs.conf.
79 * util.c (figure_journal_size): If the journal size is 0, assume
80 the journal size is unspecified and figure out the
81 approriate journal size instead of bombing out with an
84 * Makefile.in: Build and install the mke2fs.conf(5) man page. Add
85 profile.o from the e2fsck directory to mke2fs executable.
86 Install the configuration file /etc/mke2fs.conf.
88 2006-03-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
90 * dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c, findsuper.c, mke2fs.c: Change printf

97 2005-12-31 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
99 * chattr.1.in: Add notes in the man page to make sure the reader
100 refers to the BUGS AND LIMITATIONS section so that even an
101 idiot will be able to see that some of these attributes
102 are not yet implemented. (Addresses Debian Bug: #312515)
104 2005-12-10 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

117 section. Fix missing commas in list. (Addresses Debian
120 2005-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
122 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix mke2fs man page to properly document the fact
123 that mke2fs -L takes an argument. (Addresses Debian Bug
126 * badblocks.c: Add extra spaces when printing the "done" message
127 to clear out the block number to fix a display corruption
128 when the -s option is used to display the progress of the
129 test. (Addresses Debian Bug #322231)
131 2005-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
133 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c: Allow fractional percentages when
134 specifying the reserved ratio. (Addresses Debian Bug
137 2006-06-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
139 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.38
141 2005-06-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
143 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Do not support filesystems with more 2**31-1
144 blocks, since there may be kernel bugs with such

156 * findsuper.c: Fix up comments for grammar.
158 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information), partinfo.c (main): Add
159 missing _() so all strings can be internationalized.
161 * badblocks.c (main), mke2fs.c (parse_extended_opts, PRS),
162 partinfo.c (main), tune2fs.c (usage): Clean up printed
163 messages for grammar and consistency.
165 * e2image.8.in: Clean up e2image man page, mostly based on
166 suggestions from Benno Schulenberg.
168 2005-06-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
170 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix missing close parenthesis from bad inode
173 2005-06-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
175 * blkid.8.in: Minor spelling fix.
177 2005-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
179 * util.c (check_mount): Check the new EXT2_MF_BUSY flag to
180 see if the device is in use by the system.
182 * badblocks.c (check_mount): Check the new EXT2_MF_BUSY flag to
183 see if the device is in use by the system. (Works only
184 for Linux 2.6 systems, addresses Debian Bug #308594).
186 2005-05-20 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
188 * filefrag.c (frag_report, get_bmap): The FIBMAP and FIGETBSZ
189 ioctls return an integer, not an unsigned long. Fix this
190 to avoid problems on 64-bit platforms where the size of an
191 integer != the size of a long. (Addresses Debian Bug
194 2005-05-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
196 * util.c (figure_journal_size): Change the default journal size to
197 be bigger for larger filesystems, given modern memory
198 sizes. Now, for filesystems greater than 4GB, we use a
199 journal of 128 MB instead 32 MB.
201 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix grammar in message printed when setting
202 the check interval (tune2fs -i)
204 * chattr.c: Fix case on usage message.
206 2005-05-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
208 * blkid.c (main): Use the new functions blkid_dev_set_search() and
209 blkid_dev_has_tag(). Remove compare_search_type() since
210 it has been obseleted by blkid_dev_has_tag().
212 * blkid.c (main): Add a new flag, -l, which will use a more
213 efficient method to find the device that matches a
214 particular tag specifier.
216 2005-05-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
218 * blkid.c (main): Use an int instead of an char to store the
219 return value from getopt() for better portability on
220 systems where char types are unsigned. (Addresses
221 Sourceforge Bug: #1180585)
223 2005-05-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
225 * badblocks.c (main), mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix error messages by
226 substituting "bad" with "invalid" to avoid confusion with
227 "bad blocks". Thanks to Benno Schulenberg for the patch.
228 (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1189803)
230 * mke2fs.c (test_disk): Fix grammatical error in error message.
231 Thanks to Benno Schulenberg.
233 * mke2fs.c (parse_extended_opts): Print the invalid stride
234 parameter in the error message. Thanks to Benno
237 * fsck.8.in: Fix a few spelling/grammatical errors. Thanks to
240 * filefrag.c (frag_report): Fix so that when the first block to be
241 found is an indirect block, we don't falsely count an
242 extra discontinuity. (Addresses Debian Bug: #307607)
244 2005-04-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
246 * badblocks.8.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, fsck.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix

250 2005-04-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
252 * filefrag.c (frag_report): Don't abort filefrag if
253 EXT3_IOC_GETFLAGS ioctl is not supported, so that filefrag
254 can work on non-ext2/3 filesystems, as advertised.
255 (Addresses Debian Bug: #303509)
257 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix minor spelling typo. (Addresses SourceForge
260 2005-03-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

264 2005-03-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
266 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Call ext2fs_write_new_inode() instead of
267 ext2fs_write_inode().
269 2005-03-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
271 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Use the new e2p_os2string() function
273 2005-03-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
275 * filefrag.c (frag_report): Automatically detect files that are
276 stored using the new experimental file fragments format,
277 and use the non-ext2 algorithm for determing the number of
278 extents. Avoid reporting a false discontinuity if there
279 is a non-allocated block (or extent) at the beginning of
282 2006-02-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
284 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.36
286 2005-02-04 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
288 * filefrag.c (frag_report): In verbose mode, print the first and
289 last block numbers; may be useful for some folks.
291 2005-02-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

299 feature is actually enabled.
301 2005-01-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
303 * blkid.c (main, compare_search_type): Make blkid -t work more
304 consistently when the blkid cache file is explicitly set
305 to /dev/null. (Addresses Debian Bug #292425)
307 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Don't use a blocksize greater than 4k, even on
308 2.6 kernels, unless explicitly requested by the user; not
309 all 2.6 kernels (includeing stock 2.6 kernels as of this
310 writing) don't support blocksizes > 4k.
312 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the device size is too big to be expressed
313 using a 1k blocksize, retry with a 4k blocksize.
314 (Addresses Sourceforge bug #1106631)
316 2005-01-26 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
318 * Makefile.in (uninstall): Make sure "make uninstall" removes
319 everything installed by the makefile.
321 * e2image.c (scramble_dir_block): Make sure the unused space
322 in the '.' and '..' directory entries are cleared when
323 e2image -rs is specified.
325 2005-01-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
327 * tune2fs.8.in: Clarified man page about the -c option.
329 2005-01-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
331 * blkid.c (main): Make blkid -t display all devices that match the
332 specified criteria, not just the first one. (Addresses
335 2005-01-20 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
337 * filefrag.c (frag_report): Fix filefrag so that it works
338 correctly with sparse files; unallocated blocks should not
339 be treated as a discontinuity.
341 2005-01-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
343 * mke2fs.c (show_stats, set_os): Interpret OS Creator values for
346 2005-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
348 * e2image.c, e2image.8.in: Add support for the -s option which
349 scrambles directory entries for raw image files.
351 2005-01-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
353 * tune2fs.c: On Solaris, defining _XOPEN_SOURCE inexplicably
354 causes struct timeval to be undefined, breaking system
355 header files left and right. But glibc requires
356 _XOPEN_SOURCE in order for strptime() to be defined. So
357 don't define _XOPEN_SOURCE on Solaris systems.
359 * filefrag.c (frag_report): Applied patch from Francois Petillon
360 (fantec at proxad.net) to avoid a file descriptor leak.
362 2005-01-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
364 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr): Increase the number of spaces reserved
365 for printing block numbers, so we can correctly display
366 block numbers numbers greater than 999,999,999.
367 (Addresses SourceForge bug #1016163)
369 * tune2fs.c (main): When specifying the number of reservered
370 blocks that can only be allocated by root, enforce a 50%
371 limit so that the user can't accidentally make a
372 superblock which e2fsck will think is insane.
374 2005-01-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
376 * fsck.c (PRS): Apply Fedora's e2fsprogs-1.35-progress.patch from
377 e2fsprogs-1.35-11.2. Fixed multiple command-line parsing
378 bugs so that backwards compatibility is maintained, and so
379 that certain command-line options wouldn't be ignored.
381 * mke2fs.c (parse_extended_opts): Rename the -R option to -E. Fix
382 the resize= raid/extended option so it actually works.
383 (The patch from Fedora e2fsprogs-1.35-11.2 claimed it
384 worked, but it was a placebo option, despite the claim
385 that it worked in the usage message.)
387 * e2initrd_helper.c: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
389 * e2image.c (main): Fix gcc -Wall nits. Fix e2image so that
390 e2image -I has an exit code of 0 when it is successful.
392 * mke2fs.c (PRS, parse_r_opts): Use parse_num_blocks() from the
393 e2p library to parse the number of blocks from the command
396 2004-12-23 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
398 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): If reserved GDT blocks are present,
399 display them along with the other filesystem meta blocks.
401 2004-12-22 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
403 * fsck.c (main): Check return from malloc of fsck_path string.
405 2004-12-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
407 * tune2fs.c (parse_time): Fix minor buglet; the parse_time routine
408 should use the passed-in argument, not optarg, even though
409 the two are the same in the case of the current caller of
412 2004-12-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
414 * mke2fs.c: Applied resize inode patch from Andreas Dilger to add
415 support for creating filesystems with reserved space for
418 2004-12-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
420 * Makefile.in: Move strip command to install-strip target.
421 Use Linux-kernel-style makefile output for "make install"
423 * Makefile.in (installdirs): Use $(MKINSTALLDIRS) macro
425 2004-12-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
427 * e2image.8.in: Fix minor glitches in man page.
429 2004-11-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
431 * Makefile.in: Delete e2initrd_helper when doing a make clean.
433 * tune2fs.c: If there is a question mark in the device name,
434 separate out the options to the IO layer, and pass it on
437 * Makefile.in: Use Linux-kernel-style makefile output to make it
438 easier to see errors/warnings.
440 2004-11-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
442 * mke2fs.8.in: Removed the word "destructive" when describing the
443 read-write test, since it can confuse people.
445 2004-10-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
447 * mke2fs.8.in: Add an explanation about why reserved blocks in a
448 filesystem is a good thing.
450 2004-09-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
452 * badblocks.8.in: Document the default block size. (Addresses
455 2004-09-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
457 * mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults): Only use blocksizes > 4k on Linux
458 2.6 and newer systems. (Addresses Debian Bug #271064)
460 2004-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
462 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Avoid double // when listing the
463 root directory, or when there is a trailing '/' in the
464 directory name. (Addresses Debian Bug #272943)
466 * Makefile.in: Make sure /usr/lib is created for when we install
469 2004-09-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
471 * badblocks.c: Use _() around done_string, so that it gets
472 correctly translated. (Addresses Debian Bug #252836)
474 * tune2fs.8.in: Add a description of the .journal file, why it
475 is created, and how e2fsck converts it to an invisible
476 journal. (Addresses Debian Bug #256760)
478 2004-09-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
480 * e2initrd_helper.c: New program which allows initrd scripts to
481 check on the contents of /etc/fstab without (a) needing to
482 mount the root filesystem, and (b) needing /bin/awk in the
483 initrd environment. (Addresses Debian Bug #247775)
485 2004-09-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
487 * tune2fs.8.in: Mention that e2fsck -D might be useful after
488 setting the dir_index filesystem feature. (Addresses
491 2004-07-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
493 * e2image.c, e2image.8.in: Add new option -I which allows the
494 administrator to install an metadata stored in an e2image
495 file to a filesystem. Obviously, this can be very
498 2004-06-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
500 * Makefile.in (mke2fs.static): Add the blkid library to so

512 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): If the compatibility bitmasks
513 were not modified, don't set the superblock dirty bit.
515 2004-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
517 * Makefile.in: Update the modtime even if subst doesn't need to
518 update the man pages, to avoid always re-running
519 subst, especially since there are no dependencies on these
522 2004-03-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
524 * blkid.c: Remove the partially implemented -p option (it never
525 did anything, but was documented in the man page and the
528 2004-03-20 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
530 * blkid.c (main, print_tags): Add new option -o which allows the
531 user to control the output format of blkid.

558 * filefrag.c: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
560 * badblocks.c (pattern_fill): Fix bug accidentally added when
561 fixing up gcc -Wall nits. badblocks -t random was not
562 getting handled properly because ~0 needed to be cast to
563 an unsigned long instead of an unsigned char. (Addresses
566 2004-02-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
568 * fsck.c (execute): Use '&&' instead of '&'. (It didn't cause a
569 problem because we got lucky, but let's do things right.
570 Fix from Thomas Woerner at Red Hat.)
572 2004-02-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
574 * filefrag.c: Use #ifdef __linux__ instead of __LINUX__ so that it
575 actually compiles on Linux. (Addresses Debian bug

593 * chattr.1.in: Update text indicating the 'c', 's', and 'u'
594 attributes are not currently supported to remove any
595 mention of a specific kernel version. (Addresses Debian
598 * fsck.8.in: Update text describing "standard" options supported
599 by filesystem-specific checkers. (Addresses Debian bug
602 2003-12-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

617 util.c: Fix gcc -Wall nitpicks.
619 2003-09-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
621 * tune2fs.c (parse_e2label_options, parse_tune2fs_options,
622 do_findfs): Check the returned name from blkid_get_devname and
623 print an error if the requested LABEL/UUID does not exist.
625 2003-09-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
627 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Use ext2fs_super_and_bgd_loc to
628 determine the locations of the superblock and block group
631 2003-11-20 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
633 * util.c (check_plausibility): Support 2.6 kernel header files,
634 instead of having the build to crash. (Addresses Debian
637 2003-09-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
639 * mke2fs.c (progress_init, progress_update): If the environment
640 variable MKE2FS_SKIP_PROGRESS is set, then don't print out
641 a progress bar; for regression test support.
642 (PRS): If the environment variable MKE2FS_DEVICE_SECTSIZE
643 is set, then override the device sector size. Again for
644 regression test support.
645 (main): If the environment variable MKE2FS_SKIP_CHECK_MSG
646 is set, then skip printing an information messages about
647 when the filesystem will be checked, since this number is
648 random and screws up the regression test expect script.
650 2003-08-31 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
652 * mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults): Fix bug which caused -T largefile or
653 -T largefile4 to core dump due to a division by zero
654 error. (Addressed Debian bug #207082)
656 2003-08-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
658 * dumpe2fs.8.in, e2image.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in,
659 tune2fs.8.in: Adjust description line so that apropos
660 "ext2" or "ext3" will find the man page. (Addresses
663 2003-08-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
665 * badblocks.c (set_o_direct): Add check to make sure the file
666 offset of the device is page aligned. (Addresses Debian

671 boundaries. (Thanks to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for
674 2003-07-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
676 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.34
678 2003-07-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
680 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add warning if using -j and the blocksize is
681 greater than 4096, since some kernels don't support ext3
682 with large block sizes. (Addresses Debian bug #193773)
684 * badblocks.c (set_o_direct): Remove debugging printf. (Addresses
687 2003-07-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
689 * fsck.c (wait_many): Rename wait_all() to wait_many(), and have
690 new semantics: WAIT_ALL vs. WAIT_ATLEAST_ONE. This fixes
691 a bug where when fsck is waiting for another partition on
692 the same spindle, it spins wasting a lot of CPU.
694 2003-07-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
696 * badblocks.c (do_read, do_write, test_rw): Change the read/write
697 test to honor the -c option (number of blocks at a time).
698 do_read and do_write will try to turn on the O_DIRECT flag
699 if it appears that it is possible to use it. (Addresses
702 * mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults): If sector_size is 0, don't use it to
703 set the blocksize to zero. This causes MD devices to fail
704 since they don't support the BLKSSZGET ioctl. (Addresses
707 2003-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
709 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main): If CONFIG_TESTIO_DEBUG, then use the
712 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Round down the default filesystem size so that
713 it is an even multiple of the page size, to work around
714 buffer cache kernel bug.
716 * badblocks.c: Fix gcc -Wall nitpicks (signed/unsigned type issues)
718 * blkid.c: Fix gcc -Wall nitpicks (missing #include <string.h>)
720 2003-05-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
722 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): If the sector size of the
723 device is larger than the default block size, then use the
724 sector size of the device as the default block size.
726 2003-05-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
728 * badblocks.c: Use an unsigned integer to support 4-byte test
729 patterns with the high bit set. Let the user explicitly
730 specify a random pattern with the argument "random".
732 2003-05-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
734 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Fix minor memory leak with test_rw() is
735 called for multiple passes.
736 (test_nd): Fix bug in chosing randomness for the
737 non-destructive test. We were only using 1 bit of
738 randomness per byte instead of 8 due to a bit-shift bug.
739 Also, initialize the random number generator from the time
740 in main(). Thanks to Thayne Harbaugh for pointing out
743 * badblocks.c, badblocks.8.in: Functional enhancements contributed
744 by Thayne Harbaugh. These patches allow the -t option to
745 control the test pattern(s) used when checking the disk.
746 Test patterns may be specified in all modes (r/w, r/o and
749 2003-05-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
751 * tune2fs.c (main, add_journal_device, remove_journal_device): If
752 --enable-testio-debug is set, then use the test_io manager
753 so we can watch what tune2fs is doing.
755 2003-05-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
757 * uuidgen.c (main): Add setup functions for NLS support.
759 * e2image.c (write_header), mke2fs.c (PRS): Add missing space in
762 * badblocks.c (usage), findsuper.c (main), util.c
763 (parse_journal_opts): Fix typo in usage string.
765 * tune2fs.c (parse_time): Add portability code to work around lack
768 * Makefile.in: Add $(LIBINTL) to the link line so we can support
769 using the internal gettext library.
771 * nls-enable.h: Add #ifndef protection around LOCALEDIR definition.
773 2003-04-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
775 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.33
777 2003-04-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

780 libext2fs, and avoid linking blkid against any of the ext2
783 2003-04-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
785 * Makefile.in (fsck): Fsck does not need to linked against the
786 ext2 libraries anymore.
788 2003-04-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
790 * fsck.c (main): Put stdout and stderr into non-buffered mode to
791 avoid cosmetic problems when running fsck under logsave.
793 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Avoid printing the version banner for mke2fs if
794 the -q option is specified. (Addresses Debian bug #172716)
796 * logsave.c: Add support for the -a option (only partially
797 implemented previously). Always log the command-line and
798 start and stop time to the log file. Add support for the
799 -s option, which skips text bracketed between control-A
800 and control-B characters.
802 2003-04-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
804 * logsave.c: New program which saves the output of a command in a
805 log file, even if the containing directory hasn't been
806 mounted yet (in which case the it saves the output in
807 memory until it can write out the logfile).
809 2003-04-11 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
811 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the argument to -b is negative, treat it as a
812 minimum blocksize. (Feature requested by EVMS developers
813 for mainframe DASD's that do not support 1k blocksizes.)
815 * mke2fs.8.in: Document the -g option. (Addresses Debian bug #188318)
817 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug where mke2fs was incorrectly checking
818 the argument to the -g option, if the default block size
819 is used. (Addresses Debian bug #188319)
821 * tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Document the dir_index filesystem
822 feature which can be used with the -O option.
824 2003-04-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
826 * fsck.c (parse_fstab_line, interpret_type, fsck_device, ignore,
827 main): Don't evaluate the filesystem type when loading the
828 fstab file, since that might cause fsck to hang trying to
829 read from a floppy disk. (Addresses Debian bug #187812)
830 Add tmpfs and devpts to filesystems that should be
831 ignored, and add jfs, reseirfs, and xfs as filesystems
832 types where we should complain if we can't find the fsck
833 program for that filesystem type.
835 2003-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
837 * badblocks.c (bb_output): Flush output to the badblocks
838 output file as bad blocks are discovered.
840 2003-03-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
842 * chattr.1.in: Clarified the description of the 't' (no tail)
843 attribute. (Addresses Debian bug #185945)
845 2003-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
847 * fsck.c: And #ifdef protection around #include of malloc.h

851 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Include blocks from slow
852 symbolic links in the raw image file.
854 2003-03-06 <tytso@mit.edu>
856 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options, parse_e2label_options): Allow
857 the device name to be specified using LABEL=xxx or
858 UUID=xxx, since we're including the blkid library anyway.
859 (Addresses Debian bugs #166048, #179671)
861 * tune2fs.8.in, chattr.1.in: Minor man page fixes (Addresses
862 Debian bugs #175233, #175113, and #170497)
864 2003-03-06 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
866 * Makefile.in (DEPLIBS_BLKID): Use DEPLIBUUID, not LIBUUID to
867 avoid depending on -lsocket on Solaris.
869 2003-03-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
871 * fsck.c, util.c, tune2fs.c, Makefile.in: Use the blkid library
872 instead of the specialized functions in
873 get-device-by-label.c and fstype.c.
875 * base_device.c (base_device): Take a const char* as an argument.
877 * blkid.c: Remove deprecated -d option,
879 2003-02-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

904 2002-11-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
906 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Don't enable the dir_index feature by default;
907 the ext2 code on 2.4 kernels (but not 2.2 kernels, and not
908 the 2.4 ext3 code) accidentally had the backwards
909 compatibility support for dir_indexing removed.
911 2002-11-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
913 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.32

930 is to be used for indicating the top of directory
931 hierarchies for the Orlov block allocator.
933 2002-10-31 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
935 * get_device_by_label.c (read_partitions): Pay attention to
936 partitions returned in /proc/partitions that begin with

949 erreoneously (and needlessly).
951 2002-10-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
953 * fsck.c (main): Fix bug reported by Gregory Mutt. Multiple
954 filesystems explicitly specified on the command line were
955 not being checked in parallel, due to a logic bug
956 introduced in to support the FSCK_MAX_INST environment
959 2002-10-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
961 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc, main): Make dumpe2fs more robust so that
962 if there is an error reading the block/inode bitmaps, it
963 will still print out the contents of the block group

999 adds support for reiserfs volumes for LABEL= and UUID=
1002 * badblocks.c (main): Appled sourceforge patch #600451, which
1003 addresses sourceforge bug #600388, by AEF. This allows
1004 badblocks to work correctly on read-only devices such as
1005 CD-ROM's, DVD's, etc.
1007 2002-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1009 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Clarify manual pages about using the
1010 caret ('^') character to negate feature sets when using
1011 the -O option. Define the has_journal feature to avoid
1012 confusion about what ^has_journal means.
1014 2001-09-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1016 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.29
1018 2002-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1020 * fsck.c: If the bone-headed user enters the filename twice, the
1021 -R option which skips the root filesystem will skip all of
1022 them. (Addresses Debian bug #159423). Note! This is not
1023 a precedent for dealing intelligently with any other kind
1024 of doubled entry in /etc/fstab!
1026 2002-09-22 root <tytso@mit.edu>
1028 * mke2fs.c (main): Enable directory indexing by default.
1030 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Allow directory indexing flag to
1031 be set. If so, set the default hash to be TEA, and

1046 * findfs.8.in: New man page.
1048 * tune2fs.c (do_findfs): If tune2fs is executed with argv[0] set
1049 to findfs, then it will interpret argv[1] as one of
1050 LABEL=xxx or UUID=xxx and translate it to a device name.
1052 * get_device_by_label.c (uuidcache_init): Moved code which
1053 interpreted /proc/partitions into read_partitions(), and
1054 then added support for interpreting /proc/evms/volumes in
1055 read_evms(). uuidcache_init() calls both read_evms() and
1058 * mke2fs.8.in: Add a common usage of the -n option. (Addresses
1061 * fsck.c (main): If no filesystems are specified on the command
1062 line, default to -As. (Addresses Debian Bug #153102)

1087 * fsck.8.in: Document new fsck exit code, FSCK_CANCELED.
1089 * fsck.c: Trap SIGINT and SIGTERM, and relay it to all of the
1090 child fsck processes.
1092 2002-07-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1094 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Clear the buffer *after* testing for the
1095 BSD sector label. Otherwise the first 512 bytes don't get
1096 zapped. (Addresses Debian bug #147256.)
1098 2002-07-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1100 * mke2fs.8.in: Cleaned up man page, and made it a bit more
1101 OS-agnostic. Addresses Debian bug #144621. Hope this
1102 makes the Hurd whiners happy. :-)

1115 one inode per block for large blocksizes.
1117 2002-05-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1119 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Determine the page size using sysconf() at
1120 runtime, instead of using the Linux system header files.
1122 2002-05-16 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
1124 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Allow blocksizes larger than 4k to be specified,
1125 with warning printed and the user questioned if blocksize
1126 is larger than the system's page size according to the
1127 Linux kernel header files. Added better checking for
1128 valid inode sizes, and again print a warning message if
1129 using a large inode size (since most kernels today don't

1159 tune2fs.c (main), mklost+found.c (main), badblocks.c
1160 (main), e2image.c (main): Newer libintl needs LC_CTYPE to
1161 be set in addition to LC_MESSAGES.
1163 2002-02-25 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
1165 * mke2fs.c: Add check for mkfs.ext3 and create a journal in
1168 2002-02-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1170 * Makefile.in (install): Install hard links for man pages for
1171 mkfs.ext2 and mkfs.ext3. Also install hard link for
1172 mkfs.ext3. Remove any compressed man pages before
1173 installing the man pages.
1175 2002-02-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1177 * badblocks.8.in: Clarify man page's description of the -f option
1179 2002-02-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1181 * get_device_by_label.c: Since on non-STDC compilers, we define
1182 away const, include get_device_by_label.h after we include
1185 * Makefile.in (base_device): Remove use of $<, which is
1188 2002-02-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
1190 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.26
1192 2002-02-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1194 * fsck.c (interpret_type): Allow filesystems types of the form
1197 * fstype.c (identify_fs): Add support for only searching for a
1198 specified list of filesystems. Also add support for
1199 identifying reiserfs filesystems.
1201 2002-01-29 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1203 * fsck.c: Allow the number of outstanding processes fs-specific
1204 fsck programs to be capped via the FSCK_MAX_INST
1205 envrionment variable.
1207 * fsck.8.in: Document all of the environment variables used by fsck.
1209 2002-01-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1211 * tune2fs.8.in: Document the -f flag to tune2fs.
1213 2002-01-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1215 * badblocks.c (main): Open the device as O_RDWR if possible, since
1216 fsync() isn't guaranteed to work if the filesystem is
1219 2001-12-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1221 * tune2fs.8.in, tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options, main): Add
1222 support for new option, -T, which allows the user to set
1223 the last checked time on the filesystem.
1225 2001-12-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1227 * mke2fs.c (main, test_disk): If two -c options are
1228 specified, then perform a destructive read/write test
1231 * mke2fs.8.in: Document the double -c option; also encourage users
1232 to use -c instead of the -l/-L options since it's too hard
1233 for users to get things like the blocksize parameter correct.
1235 * badblocks.8.in: Encourage users to use the -c option in mke2fs
1236 and e2fsck instead of running badblocks directly.
1238 * mke2fs.c (create_lost_and_found): The lost+found directory is
1239 now created with 0700 permissions, since files which get
1240 dropped into that directory may have come from a protected
1241 directory, and the system administrator may not deal with
1242 immediately. (Addresses Debian bug #118443)
1244 2001-12-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1246 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: Move linux/jbd.h to
1247 ext2fs/kernel-jbd.h, to avoid using the system header
1248 file version of hbd.h when using diet glibc (since it
1249 forcibly adds /usr/include to the beginning of the
1250 include search path.)
1252 2001-12-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1254 * get_device_by_label.c (init_lvm): Add support to read out
1255 information from the LVM proc hierarchy, so that the UUID
1256 cache can search the LVM logical volumes for UUID's,
1259 2001-12-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1261 * dumpe2fs.c (list_bad_blocks): Change to not die if the listing
1262 of the bad blocks can't be found. Slimmed down dumpe2fs
1263 by eliminating duplicate code paths.
1265 2001-12-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1267 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc), fsck.c (fs_match),
1268 get_device_by_label.c (get_label_uuid),
1269 mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults, zap_sector, PRS),
1270 tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device, update_feature_set),
1271 util.c (figure_journal_size), util.h: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
1273 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Fix gcc -Wall nits, and use
1274 the stashed inode functions to optimize away system calls.
1276 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: linux/jfs.h has been renamed to
1279 2001-12-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1281 * dumpe2fs.c: Don't print the offset to the bitmap and inode table
1282 if it's negative. Also did some generalized code clean up
1283 to slim it down the support of the -x option.
1285 2001-11-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1287 * e2image.8.in: Fix cut-and-paste typo (Addresses Debian bug
1290 2001-11-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1292 * util.c (check_plausibility): Use stat64 if available so that
1293 check_plausibility() works with files > 2GB.
1295 2001-11-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1297 * chattr.1.in: Update the man page to document the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL
1300 * chattr.c: Add support for the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL flag.
1302 * fsck.c (interpret_type): If the "auto" type is specified, make
1303 sure interpet_device() is called so that device
1304 specifications which use LABEL= or UUID= are translated
1305 into a real device name.
1307 2001-10-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1309 * e2image.c (output_meta_data_blocks): Optimize away excess
1310 lseek() calls when creating a sparse file. Fewer system
1311 calls are a good thing. <g>
1313 2001-10-07 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
1315 * mke2fs.c (main): Always exit with non-zero code in case of error.
1317 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Check that buffer allocation succeeded.
1319 2001-09-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
1321 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.25
1323 2001-09-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1325 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_inode): Remove dead code that wasn't
1328 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect the fact that adding or
1329 removing a journal doesn't require running e2fsck.
1331 2001-09-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1333 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Allocate sufficient space for
1336 2001-09-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
1338 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24a
1340 2001-08-31 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
1342 * mke2fs.c (main): Fix version format string.
1344 2001-08-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
1346 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24
1348 2001-08-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1350 * badblocks.8.in: Fix spelling typo. (Addresses Debian bug #110621)
1352 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Now takes a third argument, which is how
1353 many sectors to clear out. Fixed up Andreas's patch to
1354 make it a bit more efficient/compact.
1356 2001-08-30 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
1358 * mke2fs.c (main): Zap the second sector of the disk, along with
1359 any sectors in the same filesystem block after the superblock.
1360 The latter will remove (for example) swapspace signatures
1361 on 4kB+ blocksize filesystems. Also when zeroing the "end"
1362 of the filesystem don't actually zero the start of a very
1363 small device (less than 64 blocks).
1365 2001-08-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1367 * fsck.c (main): Make version display consistent with the other
1370 * lsattr.c, chattr.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c,
1371 mklost+found.c: Remove EXT2FS_VERSION from the version
1372 display, since it only confuses people.
1374 2001-08-18 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1376 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): Remove unused variable
1379 * get_device_by_label.h: Define function prototype for
1380 copy_string(), since this was moved from fsck.c to
1381 get_device_by_label.c by Andreas's BK changeset.
1383 2001-08-17 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
1385 * get_device_by_label.[ch], fsck.c, util.c: New interpret_spec()
1386 function in get_device_by_label.c to allow the use of
1387 UUID= or LABEL= when creating filesystems which use external
1388 journal dev (e.g. mke2fs -J device=LABEL=<journal_label>).
1390 * tune2fs.c: Use superblock s_journal_uuid to locate an external
1391 journal device instead of s_journal_dev when removing it.
1392 Allow opening journal devices to set the label and UUID
1393 in the ext2 superblock.
1395 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Free journal_device after use, as it is
1396 malloc'd in interpret spec.
1398 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1400 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.23
1402 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1404 * tune2fs.c: Make sure that error messages are sent to stderr, and
1405 normal messages are sent to stdout. (Addresses Debian bug
1408 * fsck.8.in: Fixed error in synopsis of the man page.
1410 * fsck.c (check_all): Don't bother to interpret a device where the
1411 pass number is zero. (Addresses Debian bug #106696.)
1412 (main): Print a warning message if there are no devices to
1413 be checked. (Addresses Debian bug #107458.)
1415 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Handle -O and -s options in line in the getopt
1416 loop, so that -s and -O handling are a bit more intuitive.
1417 (Not that they should be mixed anyway; -s is deprecated.)
1419 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Give an error if -O is
1420 specified more than once.
1422 2001-08-10 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1424 * mke2fs.8.in: Slim down text describing the -O flag to remove
1425 text that erroneously implied that all features
1426 (including compatible flags) aren't compatible with older
1429 2001-08-09 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1431 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug pointed out by Christopher Niessen; if
1432 mke2fs -O none is specified, the sparse_super feature
1433 should not be present.
1435 * e2image.c, e2image.8.in: Add support for raw image files.
1437 2001-08-04 Andreas Dilger <root@lynx.adilger.int>
1439 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Put check for JOURNAL_DEV before sparse_option,
1440 so we don't set the sparse superblock flag on journal devices.
1442 2001-07-31 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1444 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, remove_journal_inode): If
1445 removing an in-filesystem journal, clear out the journal
1446 inode and update the filesystem accounting structures so
1447 we don't have to run e2fsck to clean up after ourselves
1449 2001-07-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1451 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Don't require a forced fsck if
1452 we're removing an external journal from a filesystem.
1454 2001-07-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1456 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the blocksize is not specified and the
1457 journal device is specified, use it to determine the
1458 blocksize of the new filesystem.
1460 2001-07-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1462 * fsck.8.in: Add much more explicit language documenting how the
1463 fs_passno field in /etc/fstab is handled. (Addresses
1466 2001-07-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1468 * fstype.c (identify_fs): New file which looks at the superblock
1469 of the filesystem to determines its type.
1471 * fsck.c (fsck_device, ignore, interpret_type): Call identify_fs
1472 if the type specified in /etc/fstab is "auto".
1474 2001-06-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1476 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.22
1478 2001-06-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1480 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.21
1482 2001-06-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1484 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Remove unneeded test in when creating a external
1487 2001-06-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1489 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (print_check_message): Move
1490 the message which displays how often the filesystem will
1491 be checked from mke2fs into a utility subroutine. Then
1492 cause tune2fs to call that function to display the message
1493 after adding a journal to a filesystem.
1495 * mke2fs.8.in: Add manual page fixups and explanation for why it's
1496 good to check filesystems periodically from Andreas
1499 * Makefile.in: Don't build e2image if --disable-imager is
1500 specified to configure.
1502 2001-06-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1504 * dumpe2fs.c: Use WORDS_BIGENDIAN to determine whether or not
1505 we're (not) using i386 byte order.
1507 * dumpe2fs.c, mke2fs.c: Stop using the compatibility badblocks
1508 function, and use the ext2fs_badblocks_* functions
1511 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fixed bug which can cause fsck
1512 to core dump if there are a mix of devices with standard
1513 and non-standard names. (Addresses Debian bug #100559)
1515 2001-06-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1517 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Don't use _FILE_BITS_OFFSET method of using
1518 the 64-bit function, since this changes the expected size
1519 of struct dirent. Instead use lseek64 explicitly.
1521 2001-06-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1523 * Makefile.in: Move include/asm/types.h.in to
1524 lib/ext2fs/ext2_types.h.in.
1526 2001-05-25 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1528 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.20
1530 2001-05-25 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1532 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Fix capitalization typo.
1534 2001-05-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1536 * partinfo.c (main): Use unsigned long instead of long when
1537 querying the size of a device using the BLKGETSIZE ioctl,
1538 to remove the 1TB limit (and turn it into a 2TB limit :-)
1540 * fsck.c (compile_fs_type): Fix I18N compilation bug: use N_()
1541 instead of _() to initialize static variables.
1543 2001-05-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1545 * fsck.8.in, fsck.c (compile_fs_type, fs_type, ignore): Fix
1546 handling of -t option to be more intuitive. Also add
1547 support for the Mandrake -t loop hack. See man page
1548 for description of new -t semantics.
1550 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fix bug in
1551 device_already_active which could cause infinite loops if
1552 we don't know the base_device of the filesystem.
1554 * fsck.c: Make sure all exit status codes returned by fsck are
1555 consistent with the error codes documented in the fsck man
1558 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1560 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c, findsuper.c,
1561 lsattr.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c:
1562 Change location of ext2_fs.h to be ext2fs/ext2_fs.h

1567 2001-05-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
1569 * mke2fs.c: don't zap the superblock if we are running with noaction!
1570 Zap the end of the device to remove stale RAID superblocks.
1572 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1574 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Clean up some printf messages.
1576 * fsck.8.in, mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other
1577 clarifications suggested by Andreas Dilger.
1579 2001-05-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1581 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Integrated changes from Andreas Dilger which
1582 make the revision superblock field be set to the correct
1583 value depending on if superblock features are set.
1585 2001-05-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1587 * fsck.c (PRS): fsck -? now prints the usage message.
1589 * badblocks.8.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in,
1590 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo; removed
1591 excess "anonymous" in the AVAILABILITY section.
1593 * chattr.1.in, lsattr.1.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update URL location of
1596 2001-05-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>

1600 2001-05-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1602 * fsck.8.in: Add explicit language to describe how options get
1603 passed to filesystem-specific checkers.
1605 * badblocks.8.in: Fixed man page to describe the first optional
1606 parameter to badblocks as last_block, instead of
1607 num_blocks. (Debian bug #87216)
1609 * badblocks.c: Change the blocks_count variable to be last_count,
1610 which is a more accurate description of the variable.
1612 2001-05-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1614 * e2image.8.in: New manual page
1616 * badblocks.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in mklost+found.8.in,
1617 tune2fs.8.in: Update location of e2fsprogs to be
1618 http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net.
1620 * dumpe2fs.c (main): Add new flag, -i, which will allow dumpe2fs
1621 to dump out the filesystem statistics from an ext2 image
1624 * e2image.c (main): Fix format of e2image to be easier to be parse
1627 2001-05-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1629 * fsck.c (device_already_active): If we're not able to determine
1630 the base device, we should assume that the device is
1631 already active in order to force serialization.
1633 2001-04-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1635 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Interpret -c 0 as -c -1 (for
1636 backwards compatibility with older kernels). -c 0 makes
1637 more sense to users.
1639 2001-04-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1641 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): If the force flag is given,
1642 tune2fs will remove the journal device information from
1643 the superblock even if tune2fs failed to open the journal
1644 device or otherwise other failed to remove the filesystem
1645 from journal device.
1646 (parse_tune2fs_options): Fix -j option so that it works
1647 (it was missing the open_flag being set to EXT2_FLAG_RW).
1648 (main): Accept "-U clear" to set a null UID.
1650 2001-04-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1652 * mke2fs.8.in: Manual page cleanups. Temporarily comment out the
1653 documentation for the extern journal device support.
1655 * mke2fs.c (usage): Remove the deprecated -s option from the usage
1658 2001-04-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1660 * mke2fs.c (main): Add better explanation about when the
1661 filesystem will be checked after it is created.
1663 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Remove code which allowed a bare
1664 number to be treated as a journal size.
1666 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Add newlines to error messages so that they
1669 * mke2fs.c (create_journal_dev): Call
1670 ext2fs_create_journal_superblock() first, so if it's going
1671 to error out, the user finds out before waiting for the
1672 entire device to get zero'ed.
1674 2001-03-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1676 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Change man paegs to document that the
1677 journal must be bewteen 1024 and 102,400 file system
1680 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Change to use figure_journal_size()
1682 * util.c, util.h (figure_journal_size): Change
1683 journal_default_size into routine which also converts the
1684 requested journal size into filesystem blocks and does
1685 bounds checking to make sure the journal is sized
1686 reasonably. Renamed function to journal_default_size.
1687 (parse_journal_opts): Remove bounds check for the journal
1688 size, since this is now done in figure_journal_size, and
1689 based on the number of filesystem blocks, as opposed to
1690 using the absolute size of the journal.
1692 2001-02-17 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1694 * mke2fs.c (main): Flush out the "creating journal" message.
1695 Also handle the case where the default journal size
1696 returns zero blocks == no journal. Print out how often
1697 the filesystem will be checked.
1699 2001-02-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1701 * e2image.c (main): Add code to write the e2image header.
1703 2001-02-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1705 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect that 2.0.39 supports
1708 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix fencepost error when calculating the
1709 range of inode table blocks. Add '0x' to values printed
1712 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Define the _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE to force the
1713 use of the LFS so that lstat will work on large files.
1715 2001-01-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1717 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Change user
1718 interface so that -J is used to specify journal options,
1719 and -j is used to request creation of a journal using
1720 default values. (This is a UI change, but we haven't done
1721 a formal release, and it makes things much more consistent
1722 with the rest of the options out there.)
1724 * tune2fs.c: Add support for removing a filesystem from an
1725 external journal; we correctly remove the filesystem UUID
1726 from the external journal's filesystem list.
1728 * util.h, util.c (journal_default_size): New function from Andreas
1729 Dilger to calculate an appropriate default journal size
1730 given a filesystem size.
1732 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Allow the creation of a journal as
1735 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Use s_first_data_block
1736 to find the correct block to read the journal superblock.
1738 2001-01-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1740 * tune2fs.c: Changed the external journal code so that it simply
1741 adds a filesystem to a journal; the journal must have bene
1742 created via "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX".
1744 * mke2fs.c: Add support for creating an external journal device by
1745 using the command "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX". Also
1746 changed the external journal code so -j device=/dev/XXX it
1747 simply adds a filesystem to that journal; the journal must
1748 have been created via separate step.
1750 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Add support for dumping
1751 information about an external journal device.
1753 2001-01-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1755 * mke2fs.c: Add new filesystem types, largefile and largefile4,
1756 for those filesystems whose average inode size is 1MB and
1757 4MB, respectively. Allow the inode ratio specified to be
1758 has high as 4MB. Make the s_max_mount_count vary between
1759 20 and 40, to avoid needing to check all of the
1760 filesystems at the same time. Add some random jitter to
1761 the s_max_mount_count value so that we avoid checking all
1762 of the filesystems at the same time when we reboot.
1764 * tune2fs.8.in: Add description of the -j option.
1766 * tune2fs.c (add_journal): Minor fixes from Andreas Dilger. Flush
1767 stdout after printing in-progress message.
1768 (main): Exit with status code 1 if we failed to determine
1769 the mount status of the device.
1771 2001-01-11 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1773 * e2image.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c,
1774 uuidgen.c: Fix gcc -Wall complaints, including one bug in
1775 tune2fs caused by a block automatic shadowing version of
1776 the variable we really wanted to use, which broke the
1777 logic testing to see if the filesystem was mounted.
1779 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use ext2fs_sync_device() to sync and
1782 * mke2fs.c: Change ino_t to ext2_ino_t.
1784 2001-01-08 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1786 * Makefile.in, tune2fs.c: Move e2label functionality into tune2fs,
1787 using argv[0] as a dispatch. This allows e2label to be
1788 (more) safely used on mounted filesystems.
1790 2001-01-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1792 * get_device_by_label.h (get_volume_label_by_spec): Add function
1795 * get_device_by_label.c: Use string_copy() instead of strdup() for
1796 portability's sake. Fix a few other gcc -Wall
1799 * fsck.c (string_copy): Export string_copy() extern.
1801 * badblocks.c: Fix various gcc -Wall complaints, including
1802 an incorrect reference to sync in flush_bufs().
1804 2001-01-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1806 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, add_journal): Moved to separate
1807 functions. Added ability to add and remove the journal
1808 while the filesystem is live. Added support for setting
1809 a time-based UUID. Removed zero-initialized static variables.
1811 * mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (strcasecmp, proceed_question,
1812 check_plausibility, parse_journal_opts, check_mount):
1813 Moved functions to util.c so they can be used by tune2fs.
1815 * mke2fs.c (main): Change ext2fs_add_journal_fs() to
1816 ext2fs_add_journal_inode() to reflect function renaming.
1818 2001-01-01 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1820 * mke2fs.c, e2image.c: Removed references to struct ext2fs_sb to
1821 struct ext2_super_block.
1823 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support to allow HAS_JOURNAL flag to be
1824 cleared, but only if the filesystem is unmounted or
1825 mounted read-only. Changed struct ext2fs_sb to struct
1826 ext2_super_block, and cleaned up old code which was needed
1827 for old versions of ext2_fs.h (not needed since we're
1828 using our own version now).
1830 2000-12-31 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1832 * fsck.c (check_all): Call interpet_device to resolve LABEL= and
1833 UUID= right away so that the device_already_active() logic
1834 can do the right thing. Also cleaned up the the root
1835 filesystem logic checking code; fixed up a logic bug with
1836 the parallel_root option.
1838 * lsattr.1.in: Add pointer to chattr man page for definition of
1839 the file attributes.
1841 * lsattr.c (list_attributes): Minor cleanup to smooth out logic
1842 flow. Also removed static initialized variables to zero.
1844 * chattr.c (decode_arg, get_flag): Use a table-driven method for
1845 decoding the ext2 file flags character options. Add
1846 support for the journaled data flag.
1848 * chattr.1.in: Document the -j/+j/=j flag.
1850 2000-12-30 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1852 * mke2fs.8.in: Minor clarity edit.
1854 * mke2fs.c (usage): Document the -j option.
1855 (main): Print the number blocks used in the journal.
1857 2000-12-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1859 * base_device.c (base_device): Add support for DAC960 device
1862 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Handle the case where
1863 base_device doesn't know how to interpret the device name,
1864 instead of core dumping.
1866 2000-12-09 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1868 * mke2fs.c (main, parse_journal_opts): Add support for creating V1
1869 superblocks. We now pass in a journal_flags field to the
1870 journal creation routines for this purpose.
1872 * mke2fs.c: Remove zero initializers to save a few bytes from the
1873 executable image. (Are we excited yet?)
1875 * findsuper.c: And non-subtle copyright licensing restriction to
1876 get Yann to remove this program from the Debian package. :-)
1878 2000-12-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1880 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Change to use new version of
1881 base_device() which now returns dynamically allocated
1884 * base_device.c (base_device): New version moved from fsck.c which
1885 now understands ugly devfs names. (Debian bug #65181)
1887 * base_device.tst: Test case for base_device.c
1889 2000-12-02 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1891 * fsck.8.in: Add clarification that filesystems with a fs_passno
1892 of 0 are skipped with the -A option. (Debian wishlist/bug
1895 * fsck.c (wait_one): When we let a new fsck take control of the
1896 console to display the progress bar, set FLAG_PROGRESS to
1897 so that fsck knows not to start new processes during an
1898 fsck pass with the progress bar. (Should fix debian bug
1901 * tune2fs.8.in: Add clarifying statement about converting user and
1902 group names to uid's before storing them in the
1903 superblock. (Debian bug #67446)
1905 2000-11-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1907 * mke2fs.c(main): Expand the -j option so that it parses
1908 option=argument style options, and add support for
1909 creating filesystems with external journals.
1911 * mke2fs.8.in: Document new syntax for the -j option.
1913 2000-11-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1915 * e2image.c, Makefile.in: New program which saves ext2 metadata to
1916 a file for people who need a last-ditch saving throw.
1918 2000-10-24 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1920 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Applied Andreas Dilger's patch to make the -r -s
1921 handling a bit more sane. (Even though -s is deprecated
1924 * get_device_by_label.c: Apply fix from Erik Troan to support 16
1927 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Add a special case check for MD
1928 devices, so we don't try to check them in parallel with
1931 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main), mke2fs.8.in: Add support for the -j
1932 option, which builds an ext2/3 filesystem with an ext3
1935 2000-10-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
1937 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix really stupid typo which gcc 2.95
1940 2000-09-12 <tytso@valinux.com>
1942 * fsck.c: Add base device definitions for hd[e-h], for those
1943 systems with four IDE interfaces.
1945 2000-09-11 <tytso@valinux.com>
1947 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix error message printed when zap_sector
1950 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fixed format string bug when printing
1951 the inode table location in non-hex format.
1953 2000-08-20 <tytso@valinux.com>
1955 * get_device_by_label.c: Add call to ext2fs_find_block_device if
1956 we can't find the device using the name given by
1957 /proc/partitions. (This can happen if devfs is compiled
1958 into the kernel, but not mounted.)
1960 2000-06-27 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolabs.com>
1962 * dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option
1963 to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for
1964 location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors
1966 * mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict
1968 2000-08-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
1970 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general
1972 (main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to
1973 avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.
1975 2000-07-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1977 * get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in
1978 fsck, and speed up fsck -a.
1980 2000-07-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
1982 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.19
1984 2000-07-13 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1986 * badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options
1987 are mutually exclusive.
1989 * badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the
1990 block count must be specified if the starting block is to
1991 be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in
1994 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing
1995 variable before going into the write verification loop.
1996 This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block
1997 on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal
1998 while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The
1999 num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get
2000 clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no
2001 longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup
2004 * badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size).
2005 Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option
2006 to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing
2007 the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf
2010 2000-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
2012 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as
2013 fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of
2014 the progress bar display logic.
2016 * tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if
2017 max_mount_count is negative.
2019 * tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be
2020 negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a
2023 * fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation
2024 for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root
2025 privileges if the partitions need to be scanned.
2026 Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for
2027 removeable devices such as floppies if there are any
2028 LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab.
2030 * badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem
2031 is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive
2032 test. This can be overriden using the new -f option.
2034 * badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the
2035 blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly
2036 document the start-block parameter. Added documentation
2039 * badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be
2040 optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the
2041 device as a default.
2043 2000-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
2045 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that
2046 it's more obviously what's going on. Fixed a few
2047 potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the
2048 old, overly complicated logic.
2049 (flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and
2050 always forces a sync; this is required before it's really
2051 safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels.
2053 2000-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
2055 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
2056 filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
2057 size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
2058 argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.
2060 2000-05-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
2062 * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
2063 or LABEL= specification is given.
2065 * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
2066 the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
2067 (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
2068 to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
2069 that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
2070 feature for the forseeable future, either.)
2072 * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
2073 proceed_question that was busted due to the
2074 internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if
2075 proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
2076 cleared of the previous question's newline.
2078 Thu Apr 6 17:50:25 2000 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@signal.thunk.org>
2080 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't
2081 support fdatasync().
2083 2000-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
2085 * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
2086 uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
2087 manually define optarg and optind.
2089 * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
2092 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
2093 now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
2094 longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
2095 (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
2097 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
2098 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
2100 chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
2102 2000-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
2105 * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
2107 * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
2109 * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
2111 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
2112 blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
2114 * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
2115 Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
2116 #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
2117 file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
2120 * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
2121 The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
2122 Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.
2124 2000-02-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
2126 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
2127 fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
2128 mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
2129 uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
2130 suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
2132 * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
2133 Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
2134 removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
2135 clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
2136 code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
2137 was interrupted at the wrong time.)
2139 * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
2141 2000-02-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
2143 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
2144 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
2145 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
2146 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
2147 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
2149 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
2150 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
2152 * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h
2154 2000-01-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
2156 * tune2fs.c (usage): Update the usage message to correctly
2157 document the -s option.
2159 2000-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
2161 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
2162 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
2163 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
2164 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
2166 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
2167 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
2168 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
2169 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
2170 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
2171 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
2172 Finally, the original data is written back.
2174 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
2175 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
2176 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
2177 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
2178 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
2179 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
2180 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
2181 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
2182 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
2183 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
2184 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
2185 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
2186 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
2187 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
2188 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
2190 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
2191 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
2192 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
2195 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
2196 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
2198 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
2199 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
2200 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
2201 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
2202 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
2203 and want the host hard drive to flush.
2205 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
2206 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
2207 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
2208 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
2209 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
2210 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
2211 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
2212 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
2215 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
2216 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
2217 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
2218 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
2219 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
2220 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
2221 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
2222 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
2223 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
2224 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
2225 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
2226 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
2227 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
2228 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
2229 completely reliable.
2231 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
2232 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
2233 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
2234 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
2235 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
2236 for your information.
2238 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
2239 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
2240 which I install which will write back whatever original
2241 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
2242 (except SIGKILL, of course).
2244 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
2245 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
2246 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
2247 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
2248 could learn how to update the manpage and other
2249 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
2250 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
2251 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
2252 should be in the distribution."
2254 2000-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
2256 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
2257 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
2258 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
2260 1999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>
2262 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix man page so that the sparse_super filesystem
2263 option is properly named.
2265 1999-11-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
2267 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
2268 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
2269 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
2271 1999-11-19 <tytso@valinux.com>
2273 * Makefile.in (distclean): Remove TAGS and Makefile.in.old from
2274 the source directory.
2276 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
2278 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.18
2280 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
2282 * mke2fs.8.in: Update manual page so that the sparse_option
2283 filesystem option is properly named.
2285 1999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
2287 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
2288 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
2289 fsck -As can do so interactively.
2291 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
2293 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.17
2295 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
2297 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
2298 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
2299 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
2301 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
2302 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
2303 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
2304 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
2306 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
2307 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
2308 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
2311 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
2312 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
2313 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
2314 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
2317 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
2318 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
2320 1999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
2322 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
2324 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
2325 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
2326 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
2328 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
2329 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
2332 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
2334 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16
2336 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
2338 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
2339 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
2340 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
2341 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
2343 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
2344 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
2345 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
2346 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
2348 1999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>
2350 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
2351 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
2352 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
2353 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
2354 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
2356 1999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
2358 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
2359 changing the sparse superblock option
2361 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
2362 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
2363 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
2366 1999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
2368 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
2369 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
2371 1999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
2373 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
2376 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
2379 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
2380 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
2383 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
2386 1999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
2388 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
2391 1999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
2393 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
2395 1999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2397 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
2398 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
2399 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
2400 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
2401 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
2402 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
2403 the filesystem the system would make.
2405 1999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
2407 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
2408 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
2409 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
2410 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
2411 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
2413 1999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
2415 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
2416 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
2417 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
2419 1999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
2421 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
2422 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
2424 1999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
2426 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
2427 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
2428 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
2429 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
2430 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
2431 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
2433 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
2434 UUID=bar type specifications.
2436 1999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
2438 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
2439 clear out a large block number.
2441 1999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
2443 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
2444 appears mounted if the force option is given.
2446 1999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
2448 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
2449 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
2451 1999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2453 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
2456 1999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2458 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
2459 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
2460 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
2461 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
2463 1999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
2465 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
2468 1999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2470 * fsck.c (fsck_device, execute): Don't dereference a null pointer
2471 when checking a filesystem not in /etc/fstab.
2473 1999-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2475 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
2476 in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
2477 Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
2478 the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.
2480 1999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2482 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
2483 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
2484 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
2485 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
2486 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
2487 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
2489 1999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2491 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
2492 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
2493 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
2494 fsck pass structure.
2495 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
2496 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
2499 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2501 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.14
2503 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

2508 1999-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2510 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the pass number field is missing, it
2511 needs to be treated as zero.
2513 1999-01-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2515 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add -N option to allow the user to specify
2516 exactly how many inodes he/she wishes.
2518 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Only print the version information for the
2519 program if the -V option is given.
2521 * chattr.c: Ignore symbolic links when doing a recursive descent
2522 through a directory.
2524 1999-01-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2526 * fsck.c (load_fs_info, parse_fstab_line): Ignore fstab lines
2527 are commented out. Also allow blank lines in the
2529 (execute): In verbose mode, print the mountpount of the
2530 filesystem which we are checking (user request).
2532 1998-12-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2534 * mke2fs.c: Add definition of SCSI_BLK_MAJOR if not defined, for
2535 compatibility with Linux 1.2.13 header files.
2537 1998-12-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2539 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.13
2541 1998-12-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2543 * mke2fs.8.in: Fixed stupid typo ("Raid options are _comma_
2544 seperated", instead of common separated)
2546 1998-12-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2548 * Makefile.in: Updated dependencies.
2550 1998-11-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2552 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
2553 relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of
2554 allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.
2556 1998-11-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2558 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor display bug in the nroff.
2560 * mke2fs.c (show_stats, write_inode_tables): Use the log10
2561 function to calculate the display of block numbers so that
2562 things look nice on an 80 character display.
2564 1998-10-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2566 * mke2fs.c (usage): Add the sparse-super-flag to the usage

2583 * tune2fs.c (usage):
2585 * dumpe2fs.c (usage):
2586 * badblocks.c (usage): Remove volatile from declaration.
2588 * fsck.c: Change use of strdup to be string_copy, since we don't
2589 trust what glibc is doing with strdup. (Whatever it is,
2592 1998-06-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2594 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a -V option which prints the version number

2602 1998-03-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2604 * Makefile.in: Change to use new installation directory variables
2605 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
2606 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
2607 target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the
2608 cat directory in /usr/man/cat?.
2610 1998-03-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2612 * e2label.8.in: New man page to document the e2label function.

2619 only be set or cleared by the superuser.
2621 * Update all manual pages to that the availability section is
2624 * e2label.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to state that
2625 labels must be no longer than 16 characters, or they will
2628 * e2label.c (change_label), tune2fs.c (main): If the label is
2629 longer than 16 characters, print a warning message stating
2630 that the label will be truncated.
2632 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
2633 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
2634 warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.
2636 1998-03-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2638 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Fixed spelling typo in warning

2667 * badblocks.c (main):
2668 * dumpe2fs.c (main):
2669 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the variable which getopt returns into be
2670 an int, so that it won't lose on platforms where char is
2673 Fri Oct 3 13:38:45 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2675 * mke2fs.c (parse_raid_opts): Make parse_raid_opts return a void,

2681 * mklost+found.c (main):
2683 * dumpe2fs.c (main):
2685 * badblocks.c (main): Declare main to return an int, as required.
2686 Make sure main always ends with an exit(0). (Some
2687 programs weren't doing this, and thus were returning a
2690 Mon Jul 14 15:27:29 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
2692 * e2label.c: New file contributed by Andries Brouwer which
2693 provides an easy-to-use interface to modify the filesystem
2696 * Makefile.in (SPROGS): Add Makefile support to build e2label
2698 Tue Jun 17 01:33:20 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

2702 Mon Jun 16 23:37:54 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2704 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Adjust the number of columns printed when
2705 displaying the superblock backups to avoid running over
2706 80 columns when making a really big disk.
2708 Thu May 8 22:22:08 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2710 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, fsck.8.in,

2712 oops found by Bill Hawes (whawes@star.net).
2714 * mke2fs.c (test_disk): Pass the blocksize to the bad blocks
2715 command so that all of the filesystem gets tested in the
2716 case where the blocksize 2048 or 4096.
2718 Thu Apr 24 12:16:42 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>

2722 Thu Apr 24 09:52:47 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
2724 * mke2fs.c: Added new option -R, which specifies RAID options.
2725 Currently the only supported RAID option is "stride" which
2726 specifies the stripe width in RAID filesystem. This is
2727 used to aid in the placement of the inode and block
2730 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Added warnings that the sparse
2731 superblock option isn't yet supported by most kernels.
2733 Wed Apr 23 22:42:51 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
2735 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the default filesystem revision be 0, not

2746 specified everywhere.
2748 * chattr.c (usage): Added usage message for the 'A' attribute.
2750 Fri Apr 11 18:56:26 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2752 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.08
2754 Thu Apr 10 07:08:03 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2756 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): List the offsets of the inode and block

2767 sparse superblock flag is set.
2768 (PRS): Change to allow the user to specify the true
2769 maximum number of blocks per group to reflect the
2772 Wed Mar 12 13:32:05 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
2774 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.07
2776 Thu Mar 6 17:15:05 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2778 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Set the root directory's i_uid and
2779 i_gid to be the real user and group id.
2781 Tue Mar 4 10:14:33 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2783 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add more intelligent error
2784 messages when the device doesn't exist.
2786 Sat Mar 1 10:43:32 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2788 * fsck.c (main): Fix bug where the PATH environment variable isn't
2789 set when it is unset.

2793 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Fixed bug in write_inode_tables
2794 where a loop variable was getting reused in a nested loop.
2795 This caused the inode table to not be correctly

2800 * lsattr.c, chattr.c: Include string.h, since we use memcpy().
2802 * findsuper.c: Use time_t for ctime(), not __u32.
2804 Sat Dec 28 23:39:18 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2806 * badblocks.c: Adapted -vv modifications from Rik Faith so that
2807 they frequently update the block number field.
2809 * badblocks.8.in: Document the optional start-block parameter
2811 Mon Oct 14 11:52:58 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2813 * mke2fs.c: Updated to use new ext2fs_allocate_tables() function.

2823 * dumpe2fs.c (main): Change EXT2_SWAP to EXT2_FLAG_SWAP for
2826 Sun Sep 22 16:18:47 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2828 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Add support for the 'A' (noatime) flag.

2834 Sat Sep 7 07:34:11 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2836 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support for new option -C, which sets the
2837 current number of mounts.
2838 (main): Allow the interval to be specified in seconds,
2839 mostly for debugging.
2841 Tue Aug 27 17:27:43 1996 Miles Bader <miles@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2843 * Makefile.in (SMANPAGES): Use @FSCK_MAN@ instead of fsck.8.
2844 (SPROGS): Use @FSCK_PROG@ instead of fsck.
2846 Thu Aug 22 00:51:44 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2848 * mke2fs.c (zap_bootblock): Don't do zap_bootblock on a
2851 Tue Aug 20 00:15:46 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2853 * chattr.c (main): Fixed bug so that chattr -v works. (Bug report
2854 and fix sent by Charles Howes, chowes@eznet.ca)
2856 Fri Aug 9 11:52:42 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2859 * tune2fs.c: Added support for the -L option which sets the volume
2860 label, the -M option which sets the last mounted
2861 directory, and the -U option which sets the filesystem UUID.
2864 * mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the
2865 creator OS. Generate a UUID for the filesystem, if
2866 applicable. Added support for the -L option which sets
2867 the volume label, and the -M option which sets the last
2870 Sat Jun 22 17:43:17 1996 Remy Card <card@bbj.linux.eu.org>
2872 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Integrated Michael Nonweiler's fix to
2873 avoid a segmentation fault when the "-v" option is used
2874 and no version number is specified.
2876 Thu May 16 11:12:30 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2878 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.04
2880 Wed May 15 21:15:43 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2882 * Makefile.in (fsck): fsck doesn't need to be linked with the ext2
2885 Wed Mar 27 00:33:40 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2887 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.03
2889 Thu Mar 7 03:43:20 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2891 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add (for development only) support to
2892 specify revision and inode size of the new filesystem.
2894 Tue Mar 5 03:51:35 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2896 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix a few minor typo's in the man page.
2898 * mke2fs.c (reserve_inodes): Add support for dynamic first inode
2901 Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2903 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
2904 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
2905 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
2906 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
2907 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
2908 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
2909 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
2910 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
2913 Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2915 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.02
2917 Tue Oct 30 21:14:12 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2919 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add check to warn user if they
2920 are trying to mke2fs the whole disk. (/dev/hda
2923 Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2925 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
2926 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
2927 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
2928 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
2929 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
2931 Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2933 * dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to
2936 Mon Oct 30 20:21:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2938 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a
2939 stupid typo which caused coredumps in some cases.
2941 Thu Oct 26 12:05:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2943 * Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed.
2945 Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
2947 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
2948 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
2949 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
2951 Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2953 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
2956 Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2958 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
2959 function to determine if the device is mounted.
2961 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
2962 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
2963 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
2964 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
2966 Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2968 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
2969 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
2970 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
2973 Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2982 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
2984 Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2986 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
2987 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
2988 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
2991 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
2993 Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
2995 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
2996 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the
2997 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
2999 Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
3001 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
3002 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
3003 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
3004 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
3007 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
3008 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
3009 alloca is not portable!
3011 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
3012 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
3015 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
3017 Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
3019 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
3022 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
3024 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
3025 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
3027 Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
3029 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
3030 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
3032 Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
3034 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
3036 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
3037 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
3039 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
3041 Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3043 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
3044 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
3045 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
3046 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
3048 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
3049 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
3050 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
3051 statically sized buffer.
3052 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
3053 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
3055 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
3056 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
3057 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
3058 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
3059 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
3061 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
3062 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
3063 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
3064 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
3067 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
3068 support separate compilation directories.
3070 Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
3072 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
3073 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
3074 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
3075 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
3077 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
3078 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
3079 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
3080 very large partition.
3082 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
3083 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
3084 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
3086 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
3087 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
3088 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
3089 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
3090 ioctl, which most do.)
3092 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
3093 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
3094 during 0.5b development.)
3096 Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
3098 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
3099 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
3100 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
3101 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
3104 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
3105 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
3106 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
3108 Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
3110 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
3112 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
3113 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
3114 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
3116 Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
3118 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
3120 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
3122 Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
3124 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
3125 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
3126 all partitions should be checked.
3128 Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
3130 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
3133 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
3136 Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
3138 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
3139 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
3141 Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
3143 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
3145 Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
3147 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
3150 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
3152 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
3154 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
3156 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
3158 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
3160 Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
3162 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
3163 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
3164 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
3165 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
3166 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
3168 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
3169 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
3170 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
3171 statistics if necessary.
