[tools/e2fsprogs.git] / misc / ChangeLog

2001-12-02  Theodore Tso  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * dumpe2fs.c: Don't print the offset to the bitmap and inode table
                if it's negative.  Also did some generalized code clean up
                to slim it down the support of the -x option.

2001-11-24  Theodore Tso  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * e2image.8.in: Fix cut-and-paste typo (Addresses Debian bug
                #119624)

2001-11-13  Theodore Tso  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * util.c (check_plausibility): Use stat64 if available so that
                check_plausibility() works with files > 2GB.

2001-11-05  Theodore Tso  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * chattr.1.in: Update the man page to document the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL
                flag.

        * chattr.c: Add support for the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL flag.

        * fsck.c (interpret_type): If the "auto" type is specified, make
                sure interpet_device() is called so that device
                specifications which use LABEL= or UUID= are translated
                into a real device name.

2001-10-12  Theodore Tso  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * e2image.c (output_meta_data_blocks): Optimize away excess
                lseek() calls when creating a sparse file.  Fewer system
                calls are a good thing.  <g>

2001-10-07  Andreas Dilger  <adilger@turbolinux.com>

        * mke2fs.c (main): Always exit with non-zero code in case of error.

        * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Check that buffer allocation succeeded.

2001-09-20  Theodore Tso  <tytso@thunk.org>

        * Release of E2fsprogs 1.25

2001-09-19  Theodore Tso  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_inode): Remove dead code that wasn't
                in use.

        * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect the fact that adding or
                removing a journal doesn't require running e2fsck.

2001-09-13  Theodore Tso  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Allocate sufficient space for 
                zero-filled buffer.

2001-09-02  Theodore Tso  <tytso@thunk.org>

        * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24a

2001-08-31  Andreas Dilger  <adilger@turbolinux.com>

        * mke2fs.c (main): Fix version format string.

2001-08-30  Theodore Tso  <tytso@thunk.org>

        * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24

2001-08-30  Theodore Tso  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * badblocks.8.in: Fix spelling typo.  (Addresses Debian bug #110621)

        * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Now takes a third argument, which is how
                many sectors to clear out.  Fixed up Andreas's patch to
                make it a bit more efficient/compact.

2001-08-30  Andreas Dilger  <adilger@turbolinux.com>

        * mke2fs.c (main): Zap the second sector of the disk, along with
                any sectors in the same filesystem block after the superblock.
                The latter will remove (for example) swapspace signatures
                on 4kB+ blocksize filesystems.  Also when zeroing the "end"
                of the filesystem don't actually zero the start of a very
                small device (less than 64 blocks).

2001-08-27  Theodore Tso  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * fsck.c (main): Make version display consistent with the other
                e2fsprogs programs.

        * lsattr.c, chattr.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c,
                mklost+found.c: Remove EXT2FS_VERSION from the version
                display, since it only confuses people.

2001-08-18  Theodore Tso  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): Remove unused variable
                check_uuid.

        * get_device_by_label.h: Define function prototype for
                copy_string(), since this was moved from fsck.c to
                get_device_by_label.c by Andreas's BK changeset.

2001-08-17  Andreas Dilger  <adilger@turbolinux.com>

        * get_device_by_label.[ch], fsck.c, util.c:  New interpret_spec()
                function in get_device_by_label.c to allow the use of
                UUID= or LABEL= when creating filesystems which use external
                journal dev (e.g.  mke2fs -J device=LABEL=<journal_label>).

        * tune2fs.c: Use superblock s_journal_uuid to locate an external
                journal device instead of s_journal_dev when removing it.
                Allow opening journal devices to set the label and UUID
                in the ext2 superblock.

        * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Free journal_device after use, as it is
                malloc'd in interpret spec.
 
2001-08-15  Theodore Tso  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * Release of E2fsprogs 1.23

2001-08-15  Theodore Tso  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * tune2fs.c: Make sure that error messages are sent to stderr, and
                normal messages are sent to stdout.  (Addresses Debian bug
                #108555.)

        * fsck.8.in: Fixed error in synopsis of the man page.

        * fsck.c (check_all): Don't bother to interpret a device where the
                pass number is zero.  (Addresses Debian bug #106696.)
                (main): Print a warning message if there are no devices to
                be checked.  (Addresses Debian bug #107458.)

        * mke2fs.c (PRS): Handle -O and -s options in line in the getopt
                loop, so that -s and -O handling are a bit more intuitive.
                (Not that they should be mixed anyway; -s is deprecated.)

        * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Give an error if -O is
                specified more than once.

2001-08-10  Theodore Tso  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * mke2fs.8.in: Slim down text describing the -O flag to remove
                text that erroneously implied that all features
                (including compatible flags) aren't compatible with older
                kernels.

2001-08-09  Theodore Tso  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug pointed out by Christopher Niessen; if
                mke2fs -O none is specified, the sparse_super feature
                should not be present.

        * e2image.c, e2image.8.in: Add support for raw image files.

2001-08-04  Andreas Dilger  <root@lynx.adilger.int>

        * mke2fs.c (PRS): Put check for JOURNAL_DEV before sparse_option,
                so we don't set the sparse superblock flag on journal devices.

2001-07-31  Theodore Tso  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, remove_journal_inode): If
                removing an in-filesystem journal, clear out the journal
                inode and update the filesystem accounting structures so
                we don't have to run e2fsck to clean up after ourselves

2001-07-30  Theodore Tso  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Don't require a forced fsck if
                we're removing an external journal from a filesystem.

2001-07-27  Theodore Tso  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the blocksize is not specified and the
                journal device is specified, use it to determine the
                blocksize of the new filesystem.

2001-07-20  Theodore Tso  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * fsck.8.in: Add much more explicit language documenting how the
                fs_passno field in /etc/fstab is handled.  (Addresses
                Debian bug #30833).

2001-07-19  Theodore Tso  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * fstype.c (identify_fs): New file which looks at the superblock
                of the filesystem to determines its type.

        * fsck.c (fsck_device, ignore, interpret_type): Call identify_fs
                if the type specified in /etc/fstab is "auto".

2001-06-23  Theodore Tso  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * Release of E2fsprogs 1.22

2001-06-15  Theodore Tso  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * Release of E2fsprogs 1.21

2001-06-14  Theodore Tso  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * mke2fs.c (PRS): Remove unneeded test in when creating a external
                filesystem journal.

2001-06-13  Theodore Tso  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (print_check_message): Move
                the message which displays how often the filesystem will
                be checked from mke2fs into a utility subroutine.  Then
                cause tune2fs to call that function to display the message
                after adding a journal to a filesystem.

        * mke2fs.8.in: Add manual page fixups and explanation for why it's
                good to check filesystems periodically from Andreas
                Dilger.

        * Makefile.in: Don't build e2image if --disable-imager is
                specified to configure.

2001-06-12  Theodore Tso  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * dumpe2fs.c: Use WORDS_BIGENDIAN to determine whether or not
                we're (not) using i386 byte order.

        * dumpe2fs.c, mke2fs.c: Stop using the compatibility badblocks
                function, and use the ext2fs_badblocks_* functions
                instead.

        * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fixed bug which can cause fsck
                to core dump if there are a mix of devices with standard
                and non-standard names.  (Addresses Debian bug #100559)

2001-06-07  Theodore Tso  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Don't use _FILE_BITS_OFFSET method of using
                the 64-bit function, since this changes the expected size
                of struct dirent.  Instead use lseek64 explicitly.

2001-06-01  Theodore Tso  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * Makefile.in: Move include/asm/types.h.in to
                lib/ext2fs/ext2_types.h.in.

2001-05-25  Theodore Tso  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * Release of E2fsprogs 1.20

2001-05-25  Theodore Tso  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Fix capitalization typo.

2001-05-23  Theodore Tso  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * partinfo.c (main): Use unsigned long instead of long when
                querying the size of a device using the BLKGETSIZE ioctl,
                to remove the 1TB limit (and turn it into a 2TB limit :-)

        * fsck.c (compile_fs_type): Fix I18N compilation bug: use N_()
                instead of _() to initialize static variables.

2001-05-20  Theodore Tso  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * fsck.8.in, fsck.c (compile_fs_type, fs_type, ignore): Fix
                handling of -t option to be more intuitive.  Also add
                support for the Mandrake -t loop hack.  See man page
                for description of new -t semantics.

        * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fix bug in
                device_already_active which could cause infinite loops if
                we don't know the base_device of the filesystem.

        * fsck.c: Make sure all exit status codes returned by fsck are
                consistent with the error codes documented in the fsck man
                page.

2001-05-14  Theodore Tso  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c, findsuper.c, 
                lsattr.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c:
                Change location of ext2_fs.h to be ext2fs/ext2_fs.h

        * tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other clarifications suggested
                by Andreas Dilger.

2001-05-11  Andreas Dilger  <adilger@turbolinux.com>

        * mke2fs.c: don't zap the superblock if we are running with noaction!
                Zap the end of the device to remove stale RAID superblocks.

2001-05-14  Theodore Tso  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Clean up some printf messages.

        * fsck.8.in, mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other
                clarifications suggested by Andreas Dilger.

2001-05-13  Theodore Tso  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * mke2fs.c (PRS): Integrated changes from Andreas Dilger which
                make the revision superblock field be set to the correct
                value depending on if superblock features are set.

2001-05-12  Theodore Tso  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * fsck.c (PRS): fsck -? now prints the usage message.

        * badblocks.8.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in, 
                mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo; removed
                excess "anonymous" in the AVAILABILITY section.

        * chattr.1.in, lsattr.1.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update URL location of
                e2fsprogs package.

2001-05-07  Theodore Tso  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * util.c: Use specific check for HAVE_SYS_STAT_H.

2001-05-05  Theodore Tso  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * fsck.8.in: Add explicit language to describe how options get
                passed to filesystem-specific checkers.

        * badblocks.8.in: Fixed man page to describe the first optional
                parameter to badblocks as last_block, instead of
                num_blocks.  (Debian bug #87216)

        * badblocks.c: Change the blocks_count variable to be last_count,
                which is a more accurate description of the variable.

2001-05-03  Theodore Tso  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * e2image.8.in: New manual page

        * badblocks.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in mklost+found.8.in, 
                tune2fs.8.in: Update location of e2fsprogs to be
                http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net.

        * dumpe2fs.c (main): Add new flag, -i, which will allow dumpe2fs
                to dump out the filesystem statistics from an ext2 image
                file.
        
        * e2image.c (main): Fix format of e2image to be easier to be parse
                by ext2fs_open().

2001-05-01  Theodore Tso  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * fsck.c (device_already_active): If we're not able to determine
                the base device, we should assume that the device is
                already active in order to force serialization.

2001-04-26  Theodore Tso  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Interpret -c 0 as -c -1 (for
                backwards compatibility with older kernels).  -c 0 makes
                more sense to users.

2001-04-22  Theodore Tso  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): If the force flag is given,
                tune2fs will remove the journal device information from
                the superblock even if tune2fs failed to open the journal
                device or otherwise other failed to remove the filesystem
                from journal device.
                (parse_tune2fs_options): Fix -j option so that it works
                (it was missing the open_flag being set to EXT2_FLAG_RW).
                (main): Accept "-U clear" to set a null UID.
        
2001-04-21  Theodore Tso  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * mke2fs.8.in: Manual page cleanups.  Temporarily comment out the
                documentation for the extern journal device support.

        * mke2fs.c (usage): Remove the deprecated -s option from the usage
                message.

2001-04-16  Theodore Tso  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * mke2fs.c (main): Add better explanation about when the
                filesystem will be checked after it is created.

        * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Remove code which allowed a bare
                number to be treated as a journal size.

        * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Add newlines to error messages so that they
                look nicer.

        * mke2fs.c (create_journal_dev): Call
                ext2fs_create_journal_superblock() first, so if it's going
                to error out, the user finds out before waiting for the
                entire device to get zero'ed.

2001-03-26  Theodore Tso  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Change man paegs to document that the
                journal must be bewteen 1024 and 102,400 file system
                blocks.

        * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Change to use figure_journal_size()

        * util.c, util.h (figure_journal_size): Change
                journal_default_size into routine which also converts the
                requested journal size into filesystem blocks and does
                bounds checking to make sure the journal is sized
                reasonably.  Renamed function to journal_default_size.
                (parse_journal_opts): Remove bounds check for the journal
                size, since this is now done in figure_journal_size, and
                based on the number of filesystem blocks, as opposed to
                using the absolute size of the journal.

2001-02-17  Theodore Tso  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * mke2fs.c (main): Flush out the "creating journal" message.
                Also handle the case where the default journal size
                returns zero blocks == no journal.  Print out how often
                the filesystem will be checked.

2001-02-08  Theodore Tso  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * e2image.c (main): Add code to write the e2image header.

2001-02-07  Theodore Tso  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect that 2.0.39 supports
                sparse_super.

        * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix fencepost error when calculating the
                range of inode table blocks.  Add '0x' to values printed
                in hex.

        * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Define the _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE to force the
                use of the LFS so that lstat will work on large files.

2001-01-17  Theodore Ts'o  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Change user
                interface so that -J is used to specify journal options,
                and -j is used to request creation of a journal using
                default values.  (This is a UI change, but we haven't done
                a formal release, and it makes things much more consistent
                with the rest of the options out there.) 

        * tune2fs.c: Add support for removing a filesystem from an
                external journal; we correctly remove the filesystem UUID
                from the external journal's filesystem list.

        * util.h, util.c (journal_default_size): New function from Andreas
                Dilger to calculate an appropriate default journal size
                given a filesystem size.

        * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Allow the creation of a journal as
                small as 1MB.

        * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Use s_first_data_block
                to find the correct block to read the journal superblock.

2001-01-15  Theodore Ts'o  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * tune2fs.c: Changed the external journal code so that it simply
                adds a filesystem to a journal; the journal must have bene
                created via "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX".

        * mke2fs.c: Add support for creating an external journal device by
                using the command "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX".  Also
                changed the external journal code so -j device=/dev/XXX it
                simply adds a filesystem to that journal; the journal must
                have been created via separate step.

        * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Add support for dumping
                information about an external journal device.

2001-01-14  Theodore Ts'o  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * mke2fs.c: Add new filesystem types, largefile and largefile4,
                for those filesystems whose average inode size is 1MB and
                4MB, respectively.  Allow the inode ratio specified to be
                has high as 4MB.   Make the s_max_mount_count vary between
                20 and 40, to avoid needing to check all of the
                filesystems at the same time.  Add some random jitter to
                the s_max_mount_count value so that we avoid checking all
                of the filesystems at the same time when we reboot.

        * tune2fs.8.in: Add description of the -j option.

        * tune2fs.c (add_journal): Minor fixes from Andreas Dilger. Flush
                stdout after printing in-progress message.  
                (main): Exit with status code 1 if we failed to determine
                the mount status of the device.

2001-01-11    <tytso@snap.thunk.org>

        * e2image.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c,
                uuidgen.c: Fix gcc -Wall complaints, including one bug in
                tune2fs caused by a block automatic shadowing version of
                the variable we really wanted to use, which broke the
                logic testing to see if the filesystem was mounted.

        * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use ext2fs_sync_device() to sync and
                flush the device.

        * mke2fs.c: Change ino_t to ext2_ino_t.

2001-01-08    <tytso@snap.thunk.org>

        * Makefile.in, tune2fs.c: Move e2label functionality into tune2fs,
                using argv[0] as a dispatch.  This allows e2label to be
                (more) safely used on mounted filesystems.

2001-01-05    <tytso@snap.thunk.org>

        * get_device_by_label.h (get_volume_label_by_spec): Add function
                prototype.

        * get_device_by_label.c: Use string_copy() instead of strdup() for
                portability's sake.  Fix a few other gcc -Wall
                complaints. 

        * fsck.c (string_copy): Export string_copy() extern.

        * badblocks.c: Fix various gcc -Wall complaints, including
                an incorrect reference to sync in flush_bufs().

2001-01-03    <tytso@snap.thunk.org>

        * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, add_journal): Moved to separate
                functions.  Added ability to add and remove the journal
                while the filesystem is live.  Added support for setting
                a time-based UUID.  Removed zero-initialized static variables.

        * mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (strcasecmp, proceed_question,
                check_plausibility, parse_journal_opts, check_mount):
                Moved functions to util.c so they can be used by tune2fs.

        * mke2fs.c (main): Change ext2fs_add_journal_fs() to 
                ext2fs_add_journal_inode() to reflect function renaming.

2001-01-01    <tytso@snap.thunk.org>

        * mke2fs.c, e2image.c: Removed references to struct ext2fs_sb to
                struct ext2_super_block.

        * tune2fs.c (main): Add support to allow HAS_JOURNAL flag to be
                cleared, but only if the filesystem is unmounted or
                mounted read-only.  Changed struct ext2fs_sb to struct
                ext2_super_block, and cleaned up old code which was needed
                for old versions of ext2_fs.h (not needed since we're
                using our own version now).

2000-12-31    <tytso@snap.thunk.org>

        * fsck.c (check_all): Call interpet_device to resolve LABEL= and
                UUID= right away so that the device_already_active() logic
                can do the right thing.  Also cleaned up the the root
                filesystem logic checking code; fixed up a logic bug with
                the parallel_root option.

        * lsattr.1.in: Add pointer to chattr man page for definition of
                the file attributes.

        * lsattr.c (list_attributes): Minor cleanup to smooth out logic
                flow.  Also removed static initialized variables to zero.

        * chattr.c (decode_arg, get_flag): Use a table-driven method for
                decoding the ext2 file flags character options.  Add
                support for the journaled data flag.

        * chattr.1.in: Document the -j/+j/=j flag.

2000-12-30    <tytso@snap.thunk.org>

        * mke2fs.8.in: Minor clarity edit.

        * mke2fs.c (usage): Document the -j option.
                (main): Print the number blocks used in the journal.

2000-12-28    <tytso@snap.thunk.org>

        * base_device.c (base_device): Add support for DAC960 device
                names.

        * fsck.c (device_already_active): Handle the case where
                base_device doesn't know how to interpret the device name,
                instead of core dumping.

2000-12-09    <tytso@snap.thunk.org>

        * mke2fs.c (main, parse_journal_opts): Add support for creating V1
                superblocks.  We now pass in a journal_flags field to the
                journal creation routines for this purpose.

        * mke2fs.c: Remove zero initializers to save a few bytes from the
                executable image.  (Are we excited yet?)

        * findsuper.c: And non-subtle copyright licensing restriction to
                get Yann to remove this program from the Debian package.  :-) 

2000-12-03    <tytso@snap.thunk.org>

        * fsck.c (device_already_active): Change to use new version of
                base_device() which now returns dynamically allocated
                memory.

        * base_device.c (base_device): New version moved from fsck.c which
                now understands ugly devfs names.  (Debian bug #65181)

        * base_device.tst: Test case for base_device.c

2000-12-02    <tytso@snap.thunk.org>

        * fsck.8.in: Add clarification that filesystems with a fs_passno
                of 0 are skipped with the -A option.  (Debian wishlist/bug
                #63442)
        
        * fsck.c (wait_one): When we let a new fsck take control of the
                console to display the progress bar, set FLAG_PROGRESS to
                so that fsck knows not to start new processes during an
                fsck pass with the progress bar. (Should fix debian bug
                #65267)

        * tune2fs.8.in: Add clarifying statement about converting user and
                group names to uid's before storing them in the
                superblock.  (Debian bug #67446)

2000-11-16  Theodore Ts'o  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * mke2fs.c(main): Expand the -j option so that it parses
                option=argument style options, and add support for
                creating filesystems with external journals.

        * mke2fs.8.in: Document new syntax for the -j option.

2000-11-05    <tytso@snap.thunk.org>

        * e2image.c, Makefile.in: New program which saves ext2 metadata to
                a file for people who need a last-ditch saving throw.

2000-10-24    <tytso@snap.thunk.org>

        * mke2fs.c (PRS): Applied Andreas Dilger's patch to make the -r -s
                handling a bit more sane.  (Even though -s is deprecated
                at this point.)

        * get_device_by_label.c: Apply fix from Erik Troan to support 16
                character labels.

        * fsck.c (device_already_active): Add a special case check for MD
                devices, so we don't try to check them in parallel with
                other devices.

        * mke2fs.c (PRS, main), mke2fs.8.in: Add support for the -j
                option, which builds an ext2/3 filesystem with an ext3
                journal.

2000-10-24    <tytso@valinux.com>

        * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix really stupid typo which gcc 2.95
                didn't catch.

2000-09-12    <tytso@valinux.com>

        * fsck.c: Add base device definitions for hd[e-h], for those
                systems with four IDE interfaces.

2000-09-11    <tytso@valinux.com>

        * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix error message printed when zap_sector
                fails. 

        * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fixed format string bug when printing
                the inode table location in non-hex format.

2000-08-20    <tytso@valinux.com>

        * get_device_by_label.c: Add call to ext2fs_find_block_device if
                we can't find the device using the name given by
                /proc/partitions.  (This can happen if devfs is compiled
                into the kernel, but not mounted.)

2000-06-27  Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolabs.com>

        * dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option
                to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for
                location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors

        * mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict

2000-08-14    <tytso@valinux.com>

        * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general
                zap_sect.
                (main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to
                avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.

2000-07-26    <tytso@valinux.com>

        * get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in
                fsck, and speed up fsck -a.

2000-07-13    <tytso@valinux.com>

        * Release of E2fsprogs 1.19

2000-07-13    <tytso@snap.thunk.org>

        * badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options
                are mutually exclusive.

        * badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the
                block count must be specified if the starting block is to
                be specified.  (The starting block should be a option, in
                the long run.)

        * badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing
                variable before going into the write verification loop.
                This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block
                on the disk is bad.  Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal
                while restoring blocks after the user types ^C.  The
                num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get
                clobbered by a longjmp.  buf_used and bb_count are no
                longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup
                routines anymore.

        * badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size).
                Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option
                to take an argument.  Added error checking when parsing
                the starting block number.  Fixed lint warning in fscanf
                format string.

2000-07-06  Theodore Ts'o  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as
                fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of
                the progress bar display logic.

        * tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if
                max_mount_count is negative.

        * tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be
                negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a
                check. 

        * fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation
                for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root
                privileges if the partitions need to be scanned.
                Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for
                removeable devices such as floppies if there are any
                LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab.

        * badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem
                is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive
                test.  This can be overriden using the new -f option.

        * badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the
                blocks-count parameter is now optional.  Also properly
                document the start-block parameter.  Added documentation
                for the -f option.

        * badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be
                optional.   If it's not specified, use the size of the
                device as a default.

2000-07-05  Theodore Ts'o  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that
                it's more obviously what's going on.  Fixed a few
                potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the
                old, overly complicated logic.
                (flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and
                always forces a sync; this is required before it's really
                safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels.

2000-05-29  Theodore Ts'o  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
                filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
                size of zero.  Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
                argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.

2000-05-08  Theodore Ts'o  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
                or LABEL= specification is given.

        * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
                the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
                (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
                to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
                that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
                feature for the forseeable future, either.)

        * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
                proceed_question that was busted due to the
                internationalization patch.  Fixed bug where if
                proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
                cleared of the previous question's newline.
        
Thu Apr  6 17:50:25 2000  Theodore Y. Ts'o  <tytso@signal.thunk.org>

        * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't
                support fdatasync().

2000-04-03  Theodore Ts'o  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
                uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
                manually define optarg and optind.

        * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
                Beattie.

        * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes.   We
                now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
                longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.  
                (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.

        * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
                mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
                address.  
                chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.

2000-02-09  Theodore Ts'o  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * chattr.1.in: 
        * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".

        * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.

        * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).

        * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
                blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.

        * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
                Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
                #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
                file).  Add error message if user tries to set and reset
                the same flag.

        * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
                The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
                Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.
        
2000-02-06  Theodore Ts'o  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
                fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c, 
                mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
                uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as 
                suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.

        * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
                Beattie.  Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
                removed.  Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
                clearer and more provably correct.  (I believe the old
                code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
                was interrupted at the wrong time.)

        * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.

2000-02-02  Theodore Ts'o  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
                a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
                and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
                readable.  If not, print a warning message about /proc
                perhaps not being mounted, and exit.

        * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
                linux/fs.h.  Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.

        * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h

2000-01-19  Theodore Ts'o  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * tune2fs.c (usage): Update the usage message to correctly
                document the -s option.

2000-01-18  Theodore Ts'o  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
                Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
                (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
                of if statements, etc.).  Comments from David Beattie:

                "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
                other features.  The non-destructive write testing,
                triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
                patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
                disk into memory.  Then, comparing the test patterns gives
                a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
                Finally, the original data is written back.

                To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
                blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
                to process at one time (mnemonic--"count").  I made this
                default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
                affect the read-only testing mode.  Of course, read-only
                mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
                non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
                makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
                available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
                auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
                even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
                Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
                didn't seem portable.  I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
                affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
                processing the whole disk at once, anyway.

                I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
                drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
                my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
                randomly.

                I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
                BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.

                Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
                usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
                option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
                want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
                other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
                and want the host hard drive to flush.

                I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
                similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
                already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
                blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
                computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
                half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
                hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
                when you already know the block is bad from a previous
                scan).
        
                Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
                "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
                persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
                user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no 
                new bad blocks are found.  On my drive, I would see
                behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
                found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
                areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
                until it didn't find any more, several times.  Perhaps
                this will be useful to others.  Defaults of course to
                zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass.  I used
                "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
                "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
                hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
                completely reliable.

                Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
                I did using a bb_list from libext2fs.  I debated whether
                bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
                "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
                but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
                for your information.

                In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
                non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
                which I install which will write back whatever original
                disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
                (except SIGKILL, of course).

                Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
                the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
                manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
                badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
                could learn how to update the manpage and other
                documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
                your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
                command-line parameters should be called and which ones
                should be in the distribution."

2000-01-07  Theodore Ts'o  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
                interactive fsck's.  (For those people who like to do
                interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)

1999-11-23    <tytso@valinux.com>

        * tune2fs.8.in: Fix man page so that the sparse_super filesystem
                option is properly named.

1999-11-22    <tytso@valinux.com>

        * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
                int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions.  Change #ifdef
                sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.

1999-11-19    <tytso@valinux.com>

        * Makefile.in (distclean): Remove TAGS and Makefile.in.old from
                the source directory.

1999-11-10    <tytso@valinux.com>

        * Release of E2fsprogs 1.18

1999-11-10    <tytso@valinux.com>

        * mke2fs.8.in: Update manual page so that the sparse_option
                filesystem option is properly named.

1999-11-04    <tytso@valinux.com>

        * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
                the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
                fsck -As can do so interactively.

1999-10-26    <tytso@valinux.com>

        * Release of E2fsprogs 1.17

1999-10-26    <tytso@valinux.com>

        * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
                environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
                force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.

        * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
                used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
                contain a NULL.  Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
                typed variables.  Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.

        * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
                variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.  
                (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
                gcc warnings.

        * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
                add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
                functions that take no arguments.  Also fix a memory leak
                in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
                the child process.

        * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
                can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.

1999-10-25    <tytso@valinux.com>

        * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
                happy. 
                (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
                reasons.   Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
                HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.

        * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
                management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
                an infinite loop.

1999-10-22    <tytso@valinux.com>

        * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16

1999-10-22    <tytso@valinux.com>

        * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
                set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
                Currently, the only ones which are supported for
                modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.

        * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
                request filesystems with specific filesystem options.  By
                default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
                have both file type information and sparse superblocks.

1999-10-21    <tytso@valinux.com>

        * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
          fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
          tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
                format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
                suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)

1999-10-14    <tytso@valinux.com>

        * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
                changing the sparse superblock option

        * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
                second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
                to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
                unhandled SIGUSR1.

1999-09-15    <tytso@valinux.com>

        * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
                number of superblocks.  Suggested by Yann Dirson.

1999-09-08    <tytso@valinux.com>

        * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
                Dirson.

        * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
                kernels. 

        * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
                Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
                flag.

        * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
                (header-only).

1999-08-13    <tytso@valinux.com>

        * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
                superblock option.

1999-07-18  Theodore Ts'o  <tytso@valinux.com>

        * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15

1999-07-18    <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

        * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
                the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
                Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
                based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
                of the filesystem.  Add new option -n which simply goes
                through the calculations to determine the parameters of
                the filesystem the system would make.

1999-07-18    <tytso@valinux.com>

        * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C.  This option will
                automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
                print completion/progress bars.  If multiple filesystems
                are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
                e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.

1999-07-08    <tytso@valinux.com>

        * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
                on a non-block boundary.  This is perfectly common when
                using blocksizes larger than 1k.

1999-07-03    <tytso@valinux.com>

        * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
                time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.

1999-07-02    <tytso@valinux.com>

        * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
                the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
                programs can support.  Also, close stdin when doing fsck
                -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
                that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
                the filesystem appears to be mounted.

        * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
                UUID=bar type specifications.

1999-07-01    <tytso@valinux.com>

        * badblocks.c:  Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
                clear out a large block number.

1999-06-29    <tytso@valinux.com>

        * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
                appears mounted if the force option is given.

1999-06-24    <tytso@valinux.com>

        * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
                command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.

1999-05-02    <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

        * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
                code cleanups.

1999-05-20    <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

        * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
                allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
                blocksize when opening a filesystem.  This is mainly
                useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.

1999-03-11  Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>

        * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
                generate UUIDs.

1999-03-14  Theodore Ts'o  <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

        * fsck.c (fsck_device, execute): Don't dereference a null pointer
                when checking a filesystem not in /etc/fstab.

1999-02-09  Theodore Ts'o  <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

        * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
                in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
                Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
                the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.

1999-01-30  Theodore Ts'o  <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

        * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
                MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
                every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
                the inode tables.  This is to work around a VM bug in the
                2.0 kernel.  I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
                to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.

1999-01-16  Theodore Ts'o  <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

        * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
                accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
                flag is set.  This allows for accurate debugging of the
                fsck pass structure.
                (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
                debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
                to finish.

1999-01-09  Theodore Ts'o  <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

        * Release of E2fsprogs 1.14

1999-01-09  Theodore Ts'o  <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

        * fsck.8.in: Clarified and expanded the documentation for the -A
                switch.

1999-01-07  Theodore Ts'o  <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

        * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the pass number field is missing, it
                needs to be treated as zero.

                are commented out.  Also allow blank lines in the
                /etc/fstab file.
                (execute): In verbose mode, print the mountpount of the
                filesystem which we are checking (user request).

1998-12-30  Theodore Ts'o  <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

        * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
                relying on getmntent().  This has the advantage of
                allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.

1998-11-13  Theodore Ts'o  <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

        * tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor display bug in the nroff.

        * mke2fs.c (show_stats, write_inode_tables): Use the log10
                function to calculate the display of block numbers so that
                things look nice on an 80 character display.

1998-10-12  Theodore Ts'o  <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

        * mke2fs.c (usage): Add the sparse-super-flag to the usage

        * badblocks.c (usage): Remove volatile from declaration.

        * fsck.c: Change use of strdup to be string_copy, since we don't
                trust what glibc is doing with strdup.  (Whatever it is,
                it isn't pretty.)

1998-06-19  Theodore Ts'o  <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

        * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a -V option which prints the version number

                convention.  Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
                account.  Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
                target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the
                cat directory in /usr/man/cat?.

1998-03-29  Theodore Ts'o  <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

        * e2label.8.in: New man page to document the e2label function.

        * e2label.c: Fix -Wall warning by making functions static.

                only be set or cleared by the superuser.

        * Update all manual pages to that the availability section is
                up-to-date. 

        * e2label.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to state that
                labels must be no longer than 16 characters, or they will
                be truncated.

        * e2label.c (change_label), tune2fs.c (main): If the label is

                that the label will be truncated.

        * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
                it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
                warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.

1998-03-21  Theodore Ts'o  <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

        * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Fixed spelling typo in warning
                message.  Fixed up -Wall warnings in file.

                mke2fs -l.

        * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Fix bug so that all groups with
                bad superblock backup blocks are printed (not just the
                first one).

Mon Dec  1 17:01:04 1997  Theodore Ts'o  <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

        * badblocks.8.in: Add documentation for the -s option.

        * tune2fs.c (main): 
        * lsattr.c (main): 
        * badblocks.c (main): 
        * dumpe2fs.c (main): 
        * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the variable which getopt returns into be
                an int, so that it won't lose on platforms where char is

        * badblocks.c (main): Declare main to return an int, as required.
                Make sure main always ends with an exit(0).  (Some
                programs weren't doing this, and thus were returning a
                random exit value.)

Mon Jul 14 15:27:29 1997  Theodore Y. Ts'o  <tytso@mit.edu>

        * e2label.c: New file contributed by Andries Brouwer which
                provides an easy-to-use interface to modify the filesystem
                label.
        
        * Makefile.in (SPROGS): Add Makefile support to build e2label

                Currently the only supported RAID option is "stride" which
                specifies the stripe width in RAID filesystem.  This is
                used to aid in the placement of the inode and block
                bitmaps.

        * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Added warnings that the sparse
                superblock option isn't yet supported by most kernels.

Wed Apr 23 22:42:51 1997  Theodre Ts'o  <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>

        * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the default filesystem revision be 0, not
                1.  (Since some people are still worried about 1.2.13
                compatibility).

Thu Apr 17 12:23:38 1997  Theodore Ts'o  <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

        * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.09

Fri Apr 11 18:57:24 1997  Theodore Ts'o  <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

        * chattr.1.in: Updated man page so that the 'A' attribute is
                specified everywhere.

        * chattr.c (usage): Added usage message for the 'A' attribute.

                set and reset the sparse superblock flag.

        * mke2fs.c (PRS): By default generate DYNAMIC revision
                filesystems.  The -s flag controls whether or not the
                sparse superblock flag is set.
                (PRS): Change to allow the user to specify the true
                maximum number of blocks per group to reflect the
                blocksize. 

Wed Mar 12 13:32:05 1997  Theodore Y. Ts'o  <tytso@mit.edu>

        * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.07

                set when it is unset.

Tue Jan 14 12:30:45 1997  Theodore Ts'o  <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

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

Thu Jan  2 00:00:37 1997  Theodore Ts'o  <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

        * lsattr.c, chattr.c: Include string.h, since we use memcpy().

        * findsuper.c: Use time_t for ctime(), not __u32.

Sat Dec 28 23:39:18 1996  Theodore Ts'o  <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

        * tune2fs.c: Added support for the -L option which sets the volume
                label, the -M option which sets the last mounted
                directory, and the -U option which sets the filesystem UUID.

        * mke2fs.8.in:
        * mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the
                creator OS.  Generate a UUID for the filesystem, if
                applicable.  Added support for the -L option which sets
                the volume label, and the -M option which sets the last

        * chattr.c (decode_arg): Integrated Michael Nonweiler's fix to
                avoid a segmentation fault when the "-v" option is used
                and no version number is specified.
        
Thu May 16 11:12:30 1996  Theodore Ts'o  <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

        * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.04

Wed May 15 21:15:43 1996  Theodore Ts'o  <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

        * Makefile.in (fsck): fsck doesn't need to be linked with the ext2
                libraries.

Wed Mar 27 00:33:40 1996    <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

Mon Feb  5 22:19:49 1996    <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

        * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
                parallel root option.  This allows you to check the root
                filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems.  Note
                that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
                since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
                the e2fsck executable might be corrupted!  But some
                sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
                filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
                option turned on.

Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996    <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

        * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.02

        * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add check to warn user if they
                are trying to mke2fs the whole disk.  (/dev/hda
                vs. /dev/hda1)

Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995    <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

        * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
                serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
                finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
                are more filesystems to be done in this pass.  (Patch
                submitted by Mike Jagdis)

Sat Dec  9 10:07:16 1995    <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

Mon Oct 30 20:21:18 1995    <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

        * fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a
                stupid typo which caused coredumps in some cases.

Thu Oct 26 12:05:18 1995    <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

        * Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed.

Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995  Theodore Y. Ts'o  <tytso@dcl>

        * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
                so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
                *before* we try to determine the size of the device.

Wed Sep  6 23:34:07 1995  Remy Card  <card@bbj>

        * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
                the same order.

Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995    <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

        * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
                function to determine if the device is mounted.

        * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
                ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
                the size of the filesystem.  Remove get_size() and
                is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.

Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995  Theodore Y. Ts'o  <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>

        * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
                and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
                specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
                check.

Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995  Remy Card  <card@bbj>

        * badblocks.8:
        * chattr.1:
        * dumpe2fs.8:
        * fsck.8:
        * lsattr.1:
        * mke2fs.8:
        * mklost+found.8:
        * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.

Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995  Remy Card  <card@bbj>

        * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
                names with the -g and -u options.  Thanks to Jean Christophe
                ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.

        * mke2fs.8:
        * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)

Wed Aug  9 20:41:54 1995  Theodore Y. Ts'o  <tytso@dcl>

        * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
                EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(&param), instead of assuming that the
                blocksize is always 1024 bytes.

Sat Aug  5 12:00:51 1995  Theodore Y. Ts'o  <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>

        * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
                not portable!!  In any case putenv() in some systems must
                take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
                passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
                advisable.

        * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): 
        * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
                alloca is not portable!

        * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
                user using the -t option, let it override the type in
                /etc/fstab.

        * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.

Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995  Theodore Y. Ts'o  (tytso@dcl)

        * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
                benefit.

        * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.

        * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
                tune2fs.c:  Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.

Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995  Theodore Y. Ts'o  <tytso@dcl>

        * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
                tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.

Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995  Theodore Y. Ts'o  <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>

        * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno

        * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
                explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.

        * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files

Thu Jun  8 13:25:23 1995  Miles Bader  <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
        (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
        (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
        HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).

        * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
        HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
        (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
        statically sized buffer.
        (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
        having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).

        * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
        filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
        * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
        * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
        path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).

        * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
        (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
        syncing it first.  This replaces other copies of this code.
        (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
        (test_rw): Ditto.

        * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
        support separate compilation directories.

Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995  Theodore Y. Ts'o  <tytso@localhost>

        * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
                zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
                filesystem.  This protects the filesystem from being
                misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.

        * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
                allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
                display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
                very large partition.

        * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
                ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
                spurious seek errors aren't reported.

        * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
                instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
                greater than 2 GB.  (Fortunately count_blocks is only
                called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
                ioctl, which most do.)

        * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
                number of zero.  (This check was accidentally deleted at
                during 0.5b development.)

Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994    <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>

        * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
                option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
                descriptors.  Useful for recovering when all of the
                superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
                measure).

                Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
                alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
                anyway.  (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)

Tue Dec  6 02:20:55 1994    <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>

        * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed. 

        * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
                extract the exit status.  In other cases, return
                FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.

Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994  Remy Card  <card@bbj>

        * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
                new options.
        Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.

Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994    (tytso@rsx-11)

        * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
                /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
                all partitions should be checked.

Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994    (tytso@rsx-11)

        * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
                structures. 

        * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
                the effective uid.

Mon Nov  7 22:04:37 1994  Remy Card  <card@bbj>

        * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
        -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.

Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994  Theodore Y. Ts'o  (tytso@rt-11)

        * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.

Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994  Remy Card  (card@bbj)

        * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
        read-only test.

        (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.

        * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.

        * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.

        * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.

        (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.

Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994  Theodore Y. Ts'o  (tytso@rt-11)

        * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
        where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored.  If so,
        print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
        they are correct.  (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
        twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)

        (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
        statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c.  This
        allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
        statistics if necessary.
