1 2005-03-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
3 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Use the new e2p_os2string() function
5 2005-03-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
7 * filefrag.c (frag_report): Automatically detect files that are
8 stored using the new experimental file fragments format,
9 and use the non-ext2 algorithm for determing the number of
10 extents. Avoid reporting a false discontinuity if there
11 is a non-allocated block (or extent) at the beginning of
14 2006-02-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
16 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.36
18 2005-02-04 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
20 * filefrag.c (frag_report): In verbose mode, print the first and
21 last block numbers; may be useful for some folks.
23 2005-02-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
25 * tune2fs.c: Define _XOPEN_SOURCE to be 500 to fix compilation
28 2005-01-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
30 * mke2fs.c (main): Only call create_resize_inode if the resize
31 feature is actually enabled.
33 2005-01-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
35 * blkid.c (main, compare_search_type): Make blkid -t work more
36 consistently when the blkid cache file is explicitly set
37 to /dev/null. (Addresses Debian Bug #292425)
39 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Don't use a blocksize greater than 4k, even on
40 2.6 kernels, unless explicitly requested by the user; not
41 all 2.6 kernels (includeing stock 2.6 kernels as of this
42 writing) don't support blocksizes > 4k.
44 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the device size is too big to be expressed
45 using a 1k blocksize, retry with a 4k blocksize.
46 (Addresses Sourceforge bug #1106631)
48 2005-01-26 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
50 * Makefile.in (uninstall): Make sure "make uninstall" removes
51 everything installed by the makefile.
53 * e2image.c (scramble_dir_block): Make sure the unused space
54 in the '.' and '..' directory entries are cleared when
55 e2image -rs is specified.
57 2005-01-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
59 * tune2fs.8.in: Clarified man page about the -c option.
61 2005-01-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
63 * blkid.c (main): Make blkid -t display all devices that match the
64 specified criteria, not just the first one. (Addresses
67 2005-01-20 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
69 * filefrag.c (frag_report): Fix filefrag so that it works
70 correctly with sparse files; unallocated blocks should not
71 be treated as a discontinuity.
73 2005-01-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
75 * mke2fs.c (show_stats, set_os): Interpret OS Creator values for
78 2005-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
80 * e2image.c, e2image.8.in: Add support for the -s option which
81 scrambles directory entries for raw image files.
83 2005-01-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
85 * tune2fs.c: On Solaris, defining _XOPEN_SOURCE inexplicably
86 causes struct timeval to be undefined, breaking system
87 header files left and right. But glibc requires
88 _XOPEN_SOURCE in order for strptime() to be defined. So
89 don't define _XOPEN_SOURCE on Solaris systems.
91 * filefrag.c (frag_report): Applied patch from Francois Petillon
92 (fantec at proxad.net) to avoid a file descriptor leak.
94 2005-01-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
96 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr): Increase the number of spaces reserved
97 for printing block numbers, so we can correctly display
98 block numbers numbers greater than 999,999,999.
99 (Addresses SourceForge bug #1016163)
101 * tune2fs.c (main): When specifying the number of reservered
102 blocks that can only be allocated by root, enforce a 50%
103 limit so that the user can't accidentally make a
104 superblock which e2fsck will think is insane.
106 2005-01-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
108 * fsck.c (PRS): Apply Fedora's e2fsprogs-1.35-progress.patch from
109 e2fsprogs-1.35-11.2. Fixed multiple command-line parsing
110 bugs so that backwards compatibility is maintained, and so
111 that certain command-line options wouldn't be ignored.
113 * mke2fs.c (parse_extended_opts): Rename the -R option to -E. Fix
114 the resize= raid/extended option so it actually works.
115 (The patch from Fedora e2fsprogs-1.35-11.2 claimed it
116 worked, but it was a placebo option, despite the claim
117 that it worked in the usage message.)
119 * e2initrd_helper.c: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
121 * e2image.c (main): Fix gcc -Wall nits. Fix e2image so that
122 e2image -I has an exit code of 0 when it is successful.
124 * mke2fs.c (PRS, parse_r_opts): Use parse_num_blocks() from the
125 e2p library to parse the number of blocks from the command
128 2004-12-23 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
130 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): If reserved GDT blocks are present,
131 display them along with the other filesystem meta blocks.
133 2004-12-22 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
135 * fsck.c (main): Check return from malloc of fsck_path string.
137 2004-12-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
139 * tune2fs.c (parse_time): Fix minor buglet; the parse_time routine
140 should use the passed-in argument, not optarg, even though
141 the two are the same in the case of the current caller of
144 2004-12-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
146 * mke2fs.c: Applied resize inode patch from Andreas Dilger to add
147 support for creating filesystems with reserved space for
150 2004-12-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
152 * Makefile.in: Move strip command to install-strip target.
153 Use Linux-kernel-style makefile output for "make install"
155 * Makefile.in (installdirs): Use $(MKINSTALLDIRS) macro
157 2004-12-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
159 * e2image.8.in: Fix minor glitches in man page.
161 2004-11-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
163 * Makefile.in: Delete e2initrd_helper when doing a make clean.
165 * tune2fs.c: If there is a question mark in the device name,
166 separate out the options to the IO layer, and pass it on
169 * Makefile.in: Use Linux-kernel-style makefile output to make it
170 easier to see errors/warnings.
172 2004-11-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
174 * mke2fs.8.in: Removed the word "destructive" when describing the
175 read-write test, since it can confuse people.
177 2004-10-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
179 * mke2fs.8.in: Add an explanation about why reserved blocks in a
180 filesystem is a good thing.
182 2004-09-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
184 * badblocks.8.in: Document the default block size. (Addresses
187 2004-09-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
189 * mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults): Only use blocksizes > 4k on Linux
190 2.6 and newer systems. (Addresses Debian Bug #271064)
192 2004-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
194 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Avoid double // when listing the
195 root directory, or when there is a trailing '/' in the
196 directory name. (Addresses Debian Bug #272943)
198 * Makefile.in: Make sure /usr/lib is created for when we install
201 2004-09-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
203 * badblocks.c: Use _() around done_string, so that it gets
204 correctly translated. (Addresses Debian Bug #252836)
206 * tune2fs.8.in: Add a description of the .journal file, why it
207 is created, and how e2fsck converts it to an invisible
208 journal. (Addresses Debian Bug #256760)
210 2004-09-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
212 * e2initrd_helper.c: New program which allows initrd scripts to
213 check on the contents of /etc/fstab without (a) needing to
214 mount the root filesystem, and (b) needing /bin/awk in the
215 initrd environment. (Addresses Debian Bug #247775)
217 2004-09-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
219 * tune2fs.8.in: Mention that e2fsck -D might be useful after
220 setting the dir_index filesystem feature. (Addresses
223 2004-07-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
225 * e2image.c, e2image.8.in: Add new option -I which allows the
226 administrator to install an metadata stored in an e2image
227 file to a filesystem. Obviously, this can be very
230 2004-06-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
232 * Makefile.in (mke2fs.static): Add the blkid library to so
233 mke2fs.static builds correctly.
235 2004-04-11 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
237 * tune2fs.8.in: Fixed spelling error (Addresses Debian Bug #242995)

240 (Addresses Debian Bug #241940)
242 2004-04-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
244 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): If the compatibility bitmasks
245 were not modified, don't set the superblock dirty bit.
247 2004-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
249 * Makefile.in: Update the modtime even if subst doesn't need to
250 update the man pages, to avoid always re-running
251 subst, especially since there are no dependencies on these
254 2004-03-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
256 * blkid.c: Remove the partially implemented -p option (it never
257 did anything, but was documented in the man page and the
260 2004-03-20 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
262 * blkid.c (main, print_tags): Add new option -o which allows the
263 user to control the output format of blkid.
265 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix spelling typos (Addresses Debian Bug #238741)
267 2004-03-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
269 * e2image.8.in: Update manpage to detail that writing to stdout is
270 currently only supported when writing a raw image dump.
271 (Addresses Debian bug #236383)
273 2004-03-04 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
275 * logsave.c (main): Use setsid() to avoid getting killed by init
276 (run_program): Add a newline after reporting the exit code
277 or signal when the program exits.
279 2004-02-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
281 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.35
283 2004-02-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
285 * badblocks.c (main): Change the default number of blocks tested
286 at once from 16 to 64. (Addresses Debian bug #232240)
288 2004-02-26 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
290 * filefrag.c: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
292 * badblocks.c (pattern_fill): Fix bug accidentally added when
293 fixing up gcc -Wall nits. badblocks -t random was not
294 getting handled properly because ~0 needed to be cast to
295 an unsigned long instead of an unsigned char. (Addresses
298 2004-02-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
300 * fsck.c (execute): Use '&&' instead of '&'. (It didn't cause a
301 problem because we got lucky, but let's do things right.
302 Fix from Thomas Woerner at Red Hat.)
304 2004-02-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
306 * filefrag.c: Use #ifdef __linux__ instead of __LINUX__ so that it
307 actually compiles on Linux. (Addresses Debian bug
310 2004-01-31 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
312 * chattr.1.in: Clarify man page.
314 * chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mklost+found.8.in,
315 tune2fs.8.in: List Theodore Ts'o <tytso@alum.mit.edu> as
316 the current maintainer.
318 2004-01-20 root <tytso@mit.edu>
320 * chattr.c (main): Add support for '--' to stop options
321 processing. (Addresses Debian bug #225188).
323 2003-12-26 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
325 * chattr.1.in: Update text indicating the 'c', 's', and 'u'
326 attributes are not currently supported to remove any
327 mention of a specific kernel version. (Addresses Debian
330 * fsck.8.in: Update text describing "standard" options supported
331 by filesystem-specific checkers. (Addresses Debian bug
334 2003-12-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
336 * Makefile.in: Add filefrag program to the list of programs
337 installed in /usr/sbin.
339 2003-12-11 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@thunk.org>
341 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix some whitespace errors in the command synopsis.

347 * badblocks.c, blkid.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c, fsck.c,
348 fsck.h, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c, nls-enable.h, tune2fs.c,
349 util.c: Fix gcc -Wall nitpicks.
351 2003-09-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
353 * tune2fs.c (parse_e2label_options, parse_tune2fs_options,
354 do_findfs): Check the returned name from blkid_get_devname and
355 print an error if the requested LABEL/UUID does not exist.
357 2003-09-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
359 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Use ext2fs_super_and_bgd_loc to
360 determine the locations of the superblock and block group
363 2003-11-20 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
365 * util.c (check_plausibility): Support 2.6 kernel header files,
366 instead of having the build to crash. (Addresses Debian
369 2003-09-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
371 * mke2fs.c (progress_init, progress_update): If the environment
372 variable MKE2FS_SKIP_PROGRESS is set, then don't print out
373 a progress bar; for regression test support.
374 (PRS): If the environment variable MKE2FS_DEVICE_SECTSIZE
375 is set, then override the device sector size. Again for
376 regression test support.
377 (main): If the environment variable MKE2FS_SKIP_CHECK_MSG
378 is set, then skip printing an information messages about
379 when the filesystem will be checked, since this number is
380 random and screws up the regression test expect script.
382 2003-08-31 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
384 * mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults): Fix bug which caused -T largefile or
385 -T largefile4 to core dump due to a division by zero
386 error. (Addressed Debian bug #207082)
388 2003-08-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
390 * dumpe2fs.8.in, e2image.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in,
391 tune2fs.8.in: Adjust description line so that apropos
392 "ext2" or "ext3" will find the man page. (Addresses
395 2003-08-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
397 * badblocks.c (set_o_direct): Add check to make sure the file
398 offset of the device is page aligned. (Addresses Debian
401 * badblocks.c (test_ro, test_rw): Add code to recover after an
402 error so that we continue reading on page-aligned
403 boundaries. (Thanks to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for
406 2003-07-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
408 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.34
410 2003-07-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
412 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add warning if using -j and the blocksize is
413 greater than 4096, since some kernels don't support ext3
414 with large block sizes. (Addresses Debian bug #193773)
416 * badblocks.c (set_o_direct): Remove debugging printf. (Addresses
419 2003-07-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
421 * fsck.c (wait_many): Rename wait_all() to wait_many(), and have
422 new semantics: WAIT_ALL vs. WAIT_ATLEAST_ONE. This fixes
423 a bug where when fsck is waiting for another partition on
424 the same spindle, it spins wasting a lot of CPU.
426 2003-07-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
428 * badblocks.c (do_read, do_write, test_rw): Change the read/write
429 test to honor the -c option (number of blocks at a time).
430 do_read and do_write will try to turn on the O_DIRECT flag
431 if it appears that it is possible to use it. (Addresses
434 * mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults): If sector_size is 0, don't use it to
435 set the blocksize to zero. This causes MD devices to fail
436 since they don't support the BLKSSZGET ioctl. (Addresses
439 2003-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
441 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main): If CONFIG_TESTIO_DEBUG, then use the
444 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Round down the default filesystem size so that
445 it is an even multiple of the page size, to work around
446 buffer cache kernel bug.
448 * badblocks.c: Fix gcc -Wall nitpicks (signed/unsigned type issues)
450 * blkid.c: Fix gcc -Wall nitpicks (missing #include <string.h>)
452 2003-05-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
454 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): If the sector size of the
455 device is larger than the default block size, then use the
456 sector size of the device as the default block size.
458 2003-05-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
460 * badblocks.c: Use an unsigned integer to support 4-byte test
461 patterns with the high bit set. Let the user explicitly
462 specify a random pattern with the argument "random".
464 2003-05-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
466 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Fix minor memory leak with test_rw() is
467 called for multiple passes.
468 (test_nd): Fix bug in chosing randomness for the
469 non-destructive test. We were only using 1 bit of
470 randomness per byte instead of 8 due to a bit-shift bug.
471 Also, initialize the random number generator from the time
472 in main(). Thanks to Thayne Harbaugh for pointing out
475 * badblocks.c, badblocks.8.in: Functional enhancements contributed
476 by Thayne Harbaugh. These patches allow the -t option to
477 control the test pattern(s) used when checking the disk.
478 Test patterns may be specified in all modes (r/w, r/o and
481 2003-05-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
483 * tune2fs.c (main, add_journal_device, remove_journal_device): If
484 --enable-testio-debug is set, then use the test_io manager
485 so we can watch what tune2fs is doing.
487 2003-05-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
489 * uuidgen.c (main): Add setup functions for NLS support.
491 * e2image.c (write_header), mke2fs.c (PRS): Add missing space in
494 * badblocks.c (usage), findsuper.c (main), util.c
495 (parse_journal_opts): Fix typo in usage string.
497 * tune2fs.c (parse_time): Add portability code to work around lack
500 * Makefile.in: Add $(LIBINTL) to the link line so we can support
501 using the internal gettext library.
503 * nls-enable.h: Add #ifndef protection around LOCALEDIR definition.
505 2003-04-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
507 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.33
509 2003-04-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
511 * Makefile.in (uuidgen): Avoid linking lsattr and chattr against
512 libext2fs, and avoid linking blkid against any of the ext2
515 2003-04-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
517 * Makefile.in (fsck): Fsck does not need to linked against the
518 ext2 libraries anymore.
520 2003-04-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
522 * fsck.c (main): Put stdout and stderr into non-buffered mode to
523 avoid cosmetic problems when running fsck under logsave.
525 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Avoid printing the version banner for mke2fs if
526 the -q option is specified. (Addresses Debian bug #172716)
528 * logsave.c: Add support for the -a option (only partially
529 implemented previously). Always log the command-line and
530 start and stop time to the log file. Add support for the
531 -s option, which skips text bracketed between control-A
532 and control-B characters.
534 2003-04-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
536 * logsave.c: New program which saves the output of a command in a
537 log file, even if the containing directory hasn't been
538 mounted yet (in which case the it saves the output in
539 memory until it can write out the logfile).
541 2003-04-11 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
543 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the argument to -b is negative, treat it as a
544 minimum blocksize. (Feature requested by EVMS developers
545 for mainframe DASD's that do not support 1k blocksizes.)
547 * mke2fs.8.in: Document the -g option. (Addresses Debian bug #188318)
549 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug where mke2fs was incorrectly checking
550 the argument to the -g option, if the default block size
551 is used. (Addresses Debian bug #188319)
553 * tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Document the dir_index filesystem
554 feature which can be used with the -O option.
556 2003-04-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
558 * fsck.c (parse_fstab_line, interpret_type, fsck_device, ignore,
559 main): Don't evaluate the filesystem type when loading the
560 fstab file, since that might cause fsck to hang trying to
561 read from a floppy disk. (Addresses Debian bug #187812)
562 Add tmpfs and devpts to filesystems that should be
563 ignored, and add jfs, reseirfs, and xfs as filesystems
564 types where we should complain if we can't find the fsck
565 program for that filesystem type.
567 2003-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
569 * badblocks.c (bb_output): Flush output to the badblocks
570 output file as bad blocks are discovered.
572 2003-03-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
574 * chattr.1.in: Clarified the description of the 't' (no tail)
575 attribute. (Addresses Debian bug #185945)
577 2003-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

584 symbolic links in the raw image file.
586 2003-03-06 <tytso@mit.edu>
588 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options, parse_e2label_options): Allow
589 the device name to be specified using LABEL=xxx or
590 UUID=xxx, since we're including the blkid library anyway.
591 (Addresses Debian bugs #166048, #179671)
593 * tune2fs.8.in, chattr.1.in: Minor man page fixes (Addresses
594 Debian bugs #175233, #175113, and #170497)
596 2003-03-06 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
598 * Makefile.in (DEPLIBS_BLKID): Use DEPLIBUUID, not LIBUUID to
599 avoid depending on -lsocket on Solaris.
601 2003-03-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
603 * fsck.c, util.c, tune2fs.c, Makefile.in: Use the blkid library
604 instead of the specialized functions in
605 get-device-by-label.c and fstype.c.
607 * base_device.c (base_device): Take a const char* as an argument.
609 * blkid.c: Remove deprecated -d option,
611 2003-02-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

636 2002-11-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
638 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Don't enable the dir_index feature by default;
639 the ext2 code on 2.4 kernels (but not 2.2 kernels, and not
640 the 2.4 ext3 code) accidentally had the backwards
641 compatibility support for dir_indexing removed.
643 2002-11-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
645 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.32
647 2002-11-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
649 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.31
651 2002-11-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

657 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.30
659 2002-11-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
661 * chattr.c, chattr.1.in: Add support for a new inode flag, which
662 is to be used for indicating the top of directory
663 hierarchies for the Orlov block allocator.
665 2002-10-31 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
667 * get_device_by_label.c (read_partitions): Pay attention to
668 partitions returned in /proc/partitions that begin with
669 with the string "lvm".

681 erreoneously (and needlessly).
683 2002-10-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
685 * fsck.c (main): Fix bug reported by Gregory Mutt. Multiple
686 filesystems explicitly specified on the command line were
687 not being checked in parallel, due to a logic bug
688 introduced in to support the FSCK_MAX_INST environment
691 2002-10-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
693 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc, main): Make dumpe2fs more robust so that
694 if there is an error reading the block/inode bitmaps, it
695 will still print out the contents of the block group
698 2002-10-20 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
700 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc), mke2fs.c (PRS), e2image.c

704 2002-10-15 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
706 * tune2fs.8.in, tune2fs.c (update_mntopts, main): Add new option
707 'o' which allows the system administrator to specify
708 default mount options.
710 2002-10-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
712 * get_device_by_label.c (read_partitions): Use a 16k buffer to
713 read in /proc/partitions in one go.
715 * badblocks.c, fsck.c, fstype.c, get_device_by_label.c,
716 tune2fs.c: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
718 2002-10-11 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
720 * mklost+found.c (main): Make sure the lost+found directory is
721 created with 0700 permissions.
723 2002-10-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
725 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Handle a bad block in the
726 inode table correctly.
728 2002-09-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

731 adds support for reiserfs volumes for LABEL= and UUID=
734 * badblocks.c (main): Appled sourceforge patch #600451, which
735 addresses sourceforge bug #600388, by AEF. This allows
736 badblocks to work correctly on read-only devices such as
737 CD-ROM's, DVD's, etc.
739 2002-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
741 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Clarify manual pages about using the
742 caret ('^') character to negate feature sets when using
743 the -O option. Define the has_journal feature to avoid
744 confusion about what ^has_journal means.
746 2001-09-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
748 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.29
750 2002-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
752 * fsck.c: If the bone-headed user enters the filename twice, the
753 -R option which skips the root filesystem will skip all of
754 them. (Addresses Debian bug #159423). Note! This is not
755 a precedent for dealing intelligently with any other kind
756 of doubled entry in /etc/fstab!
758 2002-09-22 root <tytso@mit.edu>
760 * mke2fs.c (main): Enable directory indexing by default.
762 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Allow directory indexing flag to
763 be set. If so, set the default hash to be TEA, and
764 initialize the hash seed to a random value.
766 2002-09-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
768 * get_device_by_label.c (init_lvm): Fix bug which caused
769 LABEL='xxx' to not work correctly when using LVM.
770 (Reversed sense of error check reported by ateeq@hotpop.com)
772 2001-08-31 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
774 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.28
776 2002-08-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
778 * findfs.8.in: New man page.
780 * tune2fs.c (do_findfs): If tune2fs is executed with argv[0] set
781 to findfs, then it will interpret argv[1] as one of
782 LABEL=xxx or UUID=xxx and translate it to a device name.
784 * get_device_by_label.c (uuidcache_init): Moved code which
785 interpreted /proc/partitions into read_partitions(), and
786 then added support for interpreting /proc/evms/volumes in
787 read_evms(). uuidcache_init() calls both read_evms() and
790 * mke2fs.8.in: Add a common usage of the -n option. (Addresses
793 * fsck.c (main): If no filesystems are specified on the command
794 line, default to -As. (Addresses Debian Bug #153102)
796 * badblocks.8.in: Clarify why it's bad to do a non-destructive
797 test on a r/o mounted filesystem. (Addresses Debian Bug
800 * chattr.1.in: Document the compression attribute flags E, X, and
801 Z, and explain that chattr can't set or set these flags.
802 (Addresses Debian Bug #151990)
804 * fsck.8.in: Fix typo in man page, and clarified text regarding
805 options specifiers for -t option. (Addresses Debian bug
808 * mke2fs.c (main): If there is a problem zeroing blocks at the end
809 of the filesystem, don't abort mke2fs. Addresses Debian
812 2002-08-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
814 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Check for an extended
815 attribute block before checking for has_valid_blocks.
817 2002-07-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
819 * fsck.8.in: Document new fsck exit code, FSCK_CANCELED.
821 * fsck.c: Trap SIGINT and SIGTERM, and relay it to all of the
822 child fsck processes.
824 2002-07-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
826 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Clear the buffer *after* testing for the
827 BSD sector label. Otherwise the first 512 bytes don't get
828 zapped. (Addresses Debian bug #147256.)
830 2002-07-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
832 * mke2fs.8.in: Cleaned up man page, and made it a bit more
833 OS-agnostic. Addresses Debian bug #144621. Hope this
834 makes the Hurd whiners happy. :-)
836 2002-06-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
838 * chattr.1.in: Fix man page typo. (Addresses Debian bug #141938)

842 * chattr.c: Applied patch from Andrew to support the dirsync flag.
844 2002-05-22 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
846 * mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults): make the default inode ratio at most
847 one inode per block for large blocksizes.
849 2002-05-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
851 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Determine the page size using sysconf() at
852 runtime, instead of using the Linux system header files.
854 2002-05-16 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
856 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Allow blocksizes larger than 4k to be specified,
857 with warning printed and the user questioned if blocksize
858 is larger than the system's page size according to the
859 Linux kernel header files. Added better checking for
860 valid inode sizes, and again print a warning message if
861 using a large inode size (since most kernels today don't
864 2002-04-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
866 * fsck.8.in: Fix typo in man page.
868 2002-03-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
870 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.27
872 2002-03-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
874 * mke2fs.c: Check for the BSD disklabel on all architectures, and
875 also check the byte-swapped magic number as well.
877 2002-03-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
879 * mke2fs.c: Output warnings to stderr
880 (From Philipp Thomas <pthomas@suse.de>)
882 * base_device.c (main): Fix gcc -Wall complaints in debug code.
884 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Don't erase BSD disklabels on Alpha.
885 (From Thorsten Kukuk <kukuk@suse.de>)
887 2002-03-04 Philipp Thomas <pthomas@suse.de>
889 * chattr.c (main), fsck.c (main), mke2fs.c (main), findsuper.c
890 (main), dumpe2fs.c (main), lsattr.c (main), partinfo.c (main),
891 tune2fs.c (main), mklost+found.c (main), badblocks.c
892 (main), e2image.c (main): Newer libintl needs LC_CTYPE to
893 be set in addition to LC_MESSAGES.
895 2002-02-25 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
897 * mke2fs.c: Add check for mkfs.ext3 and create a journal in
900 2002-02-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
902 * Makefile.in (install): Install hard links for man pages for
903 mkfs.ext2 and mkfs.ext3. Also install hard link for
904 mkfs.ext3. Remove any compressed man pages before
905 installing the man pages.
907 2002-02-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
909 * badblocks.8.in: Clarify man page's description of the -f option
911 2002-02-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
913 * get_device_by_label.c: Since on non-STDC compilers, we define
914 away const, include get_device_by_label.h after we include
917 * Makefile.in (base_device): Remove use of $<, which is
920 2002-02-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
922 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.26
924 2002-02-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
926 * fsck.c (interpret_type): Allow filesystems types of the form
929 * fstype.c (identify_fs): Add support for only searching for a
930 specified list of filesystems. Also add support for
931 identifying reiserfs filesystems.
933 2002-01-29 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
935 * fsck.c: Allow the number of outstanding processes fs-specific
936 fsck programs to be capped via the FSCK_MAX_INST
937 envrionment variable.
939 * fsck.8.in: Document all of the environment variables used by fsck.
941 2002-01-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
943 * tune2fs.8.in: Document the -f flag to tune2fs.
945 2002-01-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
947 * badblocks.c (main): Open the device as O_RDWR if possible, since
948 fsync() isn't guaranteed to work if the filesystem is
951 2001-12-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
953 * tune2fs.8.in, tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options, main): Add
954 support for new option, -T, which allows the user to set
955 the last checked time on the filesystem.
957 2001-12-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
959 * mke2fs.c (main, test_disk): If two -c options are
960 specified, then perform a destructive read/write test
963 * mke2fs.8.in: Document the double -c option; also encourage users
964 to use -c instead of the -l/-L options since it's too hard
965 for users to get things like the blocksize parameter correct.
967 * badblocks.8.in: Encourage users to use the -c option in mke2fs
968 and e2fsck instead of running badblocks directly.
970 * mke2fs.c (create_lost_and_found): The lost+found directory is
971 now created with 0700 permissions, since files which get
972 dropped into that directory may have come from a protected
973 directory, and the system administrator may not deal with
974 immediately. (Addresses Debian bug #118443)
976 2001-12-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
978 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: Move linux/jbd.h to
979 ext2fs/kernel-jbd.h, to avoid using the system header
980 file version of hbd.h when using diet glibc (since it
981 forcibly adds /usr/include to the beginning of the
982 include search path.)
984 2001-12-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
986 * get_device_by_label.c (init_lvm): Add support to read out
987 information from the LVM proc hierarchy, so that the UUID
988 cache can search the LVM logical volumes for UUID's,
991 2001-12-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
993 * dumpe2fs.c (list_bad_blocks): Change to not die if the listing
994 of the bad blocks can't be found. Slimmed down dumpe2fs
995 by eliminating duplicate code paths.
997 2001-12-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
999 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc), fsck.c (fs_match),
1000 get_device_by_label.c (get_label_uuid),
1001 mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults, zap_sector, PRS),
1002 tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device, update_feature_set),
1003 util.c (figure_journal_size), util.h: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
1005 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Fix gcc -Wall nits, and use
1006 the stashed inode functions to optimize away system calls.
1008 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: linux/jfs.h has been renamed to
1011 2001-12-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1013 * dumpe2fs.c: Don't print the offset to the bitmap and inode table
1014 if it's negative. Also did some generalized code clean up
1015 to slim it down the support of the -x option.
1017 2001-11-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1019 * e2image.8.in: Fix cut-and-paste typo (Addresses Debian bug
1022 2001-11-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1024 * util.c (check_plausibility): Use stat64 if available so that
1025 check_plausibility() works with files > 2GB.
1027 2001-11-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1029 * chattr.1.in: Update the man page to document the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL
1032 * chattr.c: Add support for the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL flag.
1034 * fsck.c (interpret_type): If the "auto" type is specified, make
1035 sure interpet_device() is called so that device
1036 specifications which use LABEL= or UUID= are translated
1037 into a real device name.
1039 2001-10-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1041 * e2image.c (output_meta_data_blocks): Optimize away excess
1042 lseek() calls when creating a sparse file. Fewer system
1043 calls are a good thing. <g>
1045 2001-10-07 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
1047 * mke2fs.c (main): Always exit with non-zero code in case of error.
1049 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Check that buffer allocation succeeded.
1051 2001-09-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
1053 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.25
1055 2001-09-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1057 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_inode): Remove dead code that wasn't
1060 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect the fact that adding or
1061 removing a journal doesn't require running e2fsck.
1063 2001-09-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1065 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Allocate sufficient space for
1068 2001-09-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
1070 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24a
1072 2001-08-31 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
1074 * mke2fs.c (main): Fix version format string.

1078 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24
1080 2001-08-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1082 * badblocks.8.in: Fix spelling typo. (Addresses Debian bug #110621)
1084 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Now takes a third argument, which is how
1085 many sectors to clear out. Fixed up Andreas's patch to
1086 make it a bit more efficient/compact.
1088 2001-08-30 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
1090 * mke2fs.c (main): Zap the second sector of the disk, along with
1091 any sectors in the same filesystem block after the superblock.
1092 The latter will remove (for example) swapspace signatures
1093 on 4kB+ blocksize filesystems. Also when zeroing the "end"
1094 of the filesystem don't actually zero the start of a very
1095 small device (less than 64 blocks).
1097 2001-08-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1099 * fsck.c (main): Make version display consistent with the other
1102 * lsattr.c, chattr.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c,
1103 mklost+found.c: Remove EXT2FS_VERSION from the version
1104 display, since it only confuses people.
1106 2001-08-18 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1108 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): Remove unused variable
1111 * get_device_by_label.h: Define function prototype for
1112 copy_string(), since this was moved from fsck.c to
1113 get_device_by_label.c by Andreas's BK changeset.
1115 2001-08-17 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
1117 * get_device_by_label.[ch], fsck.c, util.c: New interpret_spec()
1118 function in get_device_by_label.c to allow the use of
1119 UUID= or LABEL= when creating filesystems which use external
1120 journal dev (e.g. mke2fs -J device=LABEL=<journal_label>).
1122 * tune2fs.c: Use superblock s_journal_uuid to locate an external
1123 journal device instead of s_journal_dev when removing it.
1124 Allow opening journal devices to set the label and UUID
1125 in the ext2 superblock.
1127 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Free journal_device after use, as it is
1128 malloc'd in interpret spec.
1130 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1132 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.23
1134 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1136 * tune2fs.c: Make sure that error messages are sent to stderr, and
1137 normal messages are sent to stdout. (Addresses Debian bug
1140 * fsck.8.in: Fixed error in synopsis of the man page.
1142 * fsck.c (check_all): Don't bother to interpret a device where the
1143 pass number is zero. (Addresses Debian bug #106696.)
1144 (main): Print a warning message if there are no devices to
1145 be checked. (Addresses Debian bug #107458.)
1147 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Handle -O and -s options in line in the getopt
1148 loop, so that -s and -O handling are a bit more intuitive.
1149 (Not that they should be mixed anyway; -s is deprecated.)
1151 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Give an error if -O is
1152 specified more than once.
1154 2001-08-10 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1156 * mke2fs.8.in: Slim down text describing the -O flag to remove
1157 text that erroneously implied that all features
1158 (including compatible flags) aren't compatible with older
1161 2001-08-09 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1163 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug pointed out by Christopher Niessen; if
1164 mke2fs -O none is specified, the sparse_super feature
1165 should not be present.
1167 * e2image.c, e2image.8.in: Add support for raw image files.
1169 2001-08-04 Andreas Dilger <root@lynx.adilger.int>
1171 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Put check for JOURNAL_DEV before sparse_option,
1172 so we don't set the sparse superblock flag on journal devices.
1174 2001-07-31 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1176 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, remove_journal_inode): If
1177 removing an in-filesystem journal, clear out the journal
1178 inode and update the filesystem accounting structures so
1179 we don't have to run e2fsck to clean up after ourselves
1181 2001-07-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1183 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Don't require a forced fsck if
1184 we're removing an external journal from a filesystem.
1186 2001-07-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1188 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the blocksize is not specified and the
1189 journal device is specified, use it to determine the
1190 blocksize of the new filesystem.
1192 2001-07-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1194 * fsck.8.in: Add much more explicit language documenting how the
1195 fs_passno field in /etc/fstab is handled. (Addresses
1198 2001-07-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1200 * fstype.c (identify_fs): New file which looks at the superblock
1201 of the filesystem to determines its type.
1203 * fsck.c (fsck_device, ignore, interpret_type): Call identify_fs
1204 if the type specified in /etc/fstab is "auto".
1206 2001-06-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1208 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.22
1210 2001-06-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>

1219 2001-06-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1221 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (print_check_message): Move
1222 the message which displays how often the filesystem will
1223 be checked from mke2fs into a utility subroutine. Then
1224 cause tune2fs to call that function to display the message
1225 after adding a journal to a filesystem.
1227 * mke2fs.8.in: Add manual page fixups and explanation for why it's
1228 good to check filesystems periodically from Andreas
1231 * Makefile.in: Don't build e2image if --disable-imager is
1232 specified to configure.
1234 2001-06-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1236 * dumpe2fs.c: Use WORDS_BIGENDIAN to determine whether or not
1237 we're (not) using i386 byte order.
1239 * dumpe2fs.c, mke2fs.c: Stop using the compatibility badblocks
1240 function, and use the ext2fs_badblocks_* functions
1243 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fixed bug which can cause fsck
1244 to core dump if there are a mix of devices with standard
1245 and non-standard names. (Addresses Debian bug #100559)
1247 2001-06-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1249 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Don't use _FILE_BITS_OFFSET method of using
1250 the 64-bit function, since this changes the expected size
1251 of struct dirent. Instead use lseek64 explicitly.
1253 2001-06-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1255 * Makefile.in: Move include/asm/types.h.in to
1256 lib/ext2fs/ext2_types.h.in.
1258 2001-05-25 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1260 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.20
1262 2001-05-25 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1264 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Fix capitalization typo.
1266 2001-05-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1268 * partinfo.c (main): Use unsigned long instead of long when
1269 querying the size of a device using the BLKGETSIZE ioctl,
1270 to remove the 1TB limit (and turn it into a 2TB limit :-)
1272 * fsck.c (compile_fs_type): Fix I18N compilation bug: use N_()
1273 instead of _() to initialize static variables.
1275 2001-05-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1277 * fsck.8.in, fsck.c (compile_fs_type, fs_type, ignore): Fix
1278 handling of -t option to be more intuitive. Also add
1279 support for the Mandrake -t loop hack. See man page
1280 for description of new -t semantics.
1282 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fix bug in
1283 device_already_active which could cause infinite loops if
1284 we don't know the base_device of the filesystem.
1286 * fsck.c: Make sure all exit status codes returned by fsck are
1287 consistent with the error codes documented in the fsck man
1290 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1292 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c, findsuper.c,
1293 lsattr.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c:
1294 Change location of ext2_fs.h to be ext2fs/ext2_fs.h

1299 2001-05-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
1301 * mke2fs.c: don't zap the superblock if we are running with noaction!
1302 Zap the end of the device to remove stale RAID superblocks.
1304 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1306 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Clean up some printf messages.
1308 * fsck.8.in, mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other
1309 clarifications suggested by Andreas Dilger.
1311 2001-05-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1313 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Integrated changes from Andreas Dilger which
1314 make the revision superblock field be set to the correct
1315 value depending on if superblock features are set.
1317 2001-05-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1319 * fsck.c (PRS): fsck -? now prints the usage message.
1321 * badblocks.8.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in,
1322 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo; removed
1323 excess "anonymous" in the AVAILABILITY section.
1325 * chattr.1.in, lsattr.1.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update URL location of
1328 2001-05-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1330 * util.c: Use specific check for HAVE_SYS_STAT_H.
1332 2001-05-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1334 * fsck.8.in: Add explicit language to describe how options get
1335 passed to filesystem-specific checkers.
1337 * badblocks.8.in: Fixed man page to describe the first optional
1338 parameter to badblocks as last_block, instead of
1339 num_blocks. (Debian bug #87216)
1341 * badblocks.c: Change the blocks_count variable to be last_count,
1342 which is a more accurate description of the variable.
1344 2001-05-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1346 * e2image.8.in: New manual page
1348 * badblocks.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in mklost+found.8.in,
1349 tune2fs.8.in: Update location of e2fsprogs to be
1350 http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net.
1352 * dumpe2fs.c (main): Add new flag, -i, which will allow dumpe2fs
1353 to dump out the filesystem statistics from an ext2 image
1356 * e2image.c (main): Fix format of e2image to be easier to be parse
1359 2001-05-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1361 * fsck.c (device_already_active): If we're not able to determine
1362 the base device, we should assume that the device is
1363 already active in order to force serialization.
1365 2001-04-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1367 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Interpret -c 0 as -c -1 (for
1368 backwards compatibility with older kernels). -c 0 makes
1369 more sense to users.
1371 2001-04-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1373 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): If the force flag is given,
1374 tune2fs will remove the journal device information from
1375 the superblock even if tune2fs failed to open the journal
1376 device or otherwise other failed to remove the filesystem
1377 from journal device.
1378 (parse_tune2fs_options): Fix -j option so that it works
1379 (it was missing the open_flag being set to EXT2_FLAG_RW).
1380 (main): Accept "-U clear" to set a null UID.
1382 2001-04-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1384 * mke2fs.8.in: Manual page cleanups. Temporarily comment out the
1385 documentation for the extern journal device support.
1387 * mke2fs.c (usage): Remove the deprecated -s option from the usage
1390 2001-04-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1392 * mke2fs.c (main): Add better explanation about when the
1393 filesystem will be checked after it is created.
1395 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Remove code which allowed a bare
1396 number to be treated as a journal size.
1398 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Add newlines to error messages so that they
1401 * mke2fs.c (create_journal_dev): Call
1402 ext2fs_create_journal_superblock() first, so if it's going
1403 to error out, the user finds out before waiting for the
1404 entire device to get zero'ed.
1406 2001-03-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1408 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Change man paegs to document that the
1409 journal must be bewteen 1024 and 102,400 file system
1412 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Change to use figure_journal_size()
1414 * util.c, util.h (figure_journal_size): Change
1415 journal_default_size into routine which also converts the
1416 requested journal size into filesystem blocks and does
1417 bounds checking to make sure the journal is sized
1418 reasonably. Renamed function to journal_default_size.
1419 (parse_journal_opts): Remove bounds check for the journal
1420 size, since this is now done in figure_journal_size, and
1421 based on the number of filesystem blocks, as opposed to
1422 using the absolute size of the journal.
1424 2001-02-17 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1426 * mke2fs.c (main): Flush out the "creating journal" message.
1427 Also handle the case where the default journal size
1428 returns zero blocks == no journal. Print out how often
1429 the filesystem will be checked.
1431 2001-02-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1433 * e2image.c (main): Add code to write the e2image header.
1435 2001-02-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1437 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect that 2.0.39 supports
1440 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix fencepost error when calculating the
1441 range of inode table blocks. Add '0x' to values printed
1444 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Define the _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE to force the
1445 use of the LFS so that lstat will work on large files.
1447 2001-01-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1449 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Change user
1450 interface so that -J is used to specify journal options,
1451 and -j is used to request creation of a journal using
1452 default values. (This is a UI change, but we haven't done
1453 a formal release, and it makes things much more consistent
1454 with the rest of the options out there.)
1456 * tune2fs.c: Add support for removing a filesystem from an
1457 external journal; we correctly remove the filesystem UUID
1458 from the external journal's filesystem list.
1460 * util.h, util.c (journal_default_size): New function from Andreas
1461 Dilger to calculate an appropriate default journal size
1462 given a filesystem size.
1464 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Allow the creation of a journal as
1467 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Use s_first_data_block
1468 to find the correct block to read the journal superblock.
1470 2001-01-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1472 * tune2fs.c: Changed the external journal code so that it simply
1473 adds a filesystem to a journal; the journal must have bene
1474 created via "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX".
1476 * mke2fs.c: Add support for creating an external journal device by
1477 using the command "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX". Also
1478 changed the external journal code so -j device=/dev/XXX it
1479 simply adds a filesystem to that journal; the journal must
1480 have been created via separate step.
1482 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Add support for dumping
1483 information about an external journal device.
1485 2001-01-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1487 * mke2fs.c: Add new filesystem types, largefile and largefile4,
1488 for those filesystems whose average inode size is 1MB and
1489 4MB, respectively. Allow the inode ratio specified to be
1490 has high as 4MB. Make the s_max_mount_count vary between
1491 20 and 40, to avoid needing to check all of the
1492 filesystems at the same time. Add some random jitter to
1493 the s_max_mount_count value so that we avoid checking all
1494 of the filesystems at the same time when we reboot.
1496 * tune2fs.8.in: Add description of the -j option.
1498 * tune2fs.c (add_journal): Minor fixes from Andreas Dilger. Flush
1499 stdout after printing in-progress message.
1500 (main): Exit with status code 1 if we failed to determine
1501 the mount status of the device.
1503 2001-01-11 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1505 * e2image.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c,
1506 uuidgen.c: Fix gcc -Wall complaints, including one bug in
1507 tune2fs caused by a block automatic shadowing version of
1508 the variable we really wanted to use, which broke the
1509 logic testing to see if the filesystem was mounted.
1511 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use ext2fs_sync_device() to sync and
1514 * mke2fs.c: Change ino_t to ext2_ino_t.
1516 2001-01-08 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1518 * Makefile.in, tune2fs.c: Move e2label functionality into tune2fs,
1519 using argv[0] as a dispatch. This allows e2label to be
1520 (more) safely used on mounted filesystems.
1522 2001-01-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1524 * get_device_by_label.h (get_volume_label_by_spec): Add function
1527 * get_device_by_label.c: Use string_copy() instead of strdup() for
1528 portability's sake. Fix a few other gcc -Wall
1531 * fsck.c (string_copy): Export string_copy() extern.
1533 * badblocks.c: Fix various gcc -Wall complaints, including
1534 an incorrect reference to sync in flush_bufs().
1536 2001-01-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1538 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, add_journal): Moved to separate
1539 functions. Added ability to add and remove the journal
1540 while the filesystem is live. Added support for setting
1541 a time-based UUID. Removed zero-initialized static variables.
1543 * mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (strcasecmp, proceed_question,
1544 check_plausibility, parse_journal_opts, check_mount):
1545 Moved functions to util.c so they can be used by tune2fs.
1547 * mke2fs.c (main): Change ext2fs_add_journal_fs() to
1548 ext2fs_add_journal_inode() to reflect function renaming.
1550 2001-01-01 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1552 * mke2fs.c, e2image.c: Removed references to struct ext2fs_sb to
1553 struct ext2_super_block.
1555 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support to allow HAS_JOURNAL flag to be
1556 cleared, but only if the filesystem is unmounted or
1557 mounted read-only. Changed struct ext2fs_sb to struct
1558 ext2_super_block, and cleaned up old code which was needed
1559 for old versions of ext2_fs.h (not needed since we're
1560 using our own version now).
1562 2000-12-31 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1564 * fsck.c (check_all): Call interpet_device to resolve LABEL= and
1565 UUID= right away so that the device_already_active() logic
1566 can do the right thing. Also cleaned up the the root
1567 filesystem logic checking code; fixed up a logic bug with
1568 the parallel_root option.
1570 * lsattr.1.in: Add pointer to chattr man page for definition of
1571 the file attributes.
1573 * lsattr.c (list_attributes): Minor cleanup to smooth out logic
1574 flow. Also removed static initialized variables to zero.
1576 * chattr.c (decode_arg, get_flag): Use a table-driven method for
1577 decoding the ext2 file flags character options. Add
1578 support for the journaled data flag.
1580 * chattr.1.in: Document the -j/+j/=j flag.
1582 2000-12-30 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1584 * mke2fs.8.in: Minor clarity edit.
1586 * mke2fs.c (usage): Document the -j option.
1587 (main): Print the number blocks used in the journal.
1589 2000-12-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1591 * base_device.c (base_device): Add support for DAC960 device
1594 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Handle the case where
1595 base_device doesn't know how to interpret the device name,
1596 instead of core dumping.
1598 2000-12-09 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1600 * mke2fs.c (main, parse_journal_opts): Add support for creating V1
1601 superblocks. We now pass in a journal_flags field to the
1602 journal creation routines for this purpose.
1604 * mke2fs.c: Remove zero initializers to save a few bytes from the
1605 executable image. (Are we excited yet?)
1607 * findsuper.c: And non-subtle copyright licensing restriction to
1608 get Yann to remove this program from the Debian package. :-)
1610 2000-12-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1612 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Change to use new version of
1613 base_device() which now returns dynamically allocated
1616 * base_device.c (base_device): New version moved from fsck.c which
1617 now understands ugly devfs names. (Debian bug #65181)
1619 * base_device.tst: Test case for base_device.c
1621 2000-12-02 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1623 * fsck.8.in: Add clarification that filesystems with a fs_passno
1624 of 0 are skipped with the -A option. (Debian wishlist/bug
1627 * fsck.c (wait_one): When we let a new fsck take control of the
1628 console to display the progress bar, set FLAG_PROGRESS to
1629 so that fsck knows not to start new processes during an
1630 fsck pass with the progress bar. (Should fix debian bug
1633 * tune2fs.8.in: Add clarifying statement about converting user and
1634 group names to uid's before storing them in the
1635 superblock. (Debian bug #67446)
1637 2000-11-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1639 * mke2fs.c(main): Expand the -j option so that it parses
1640 option=argument style options, and add support for
1641 creating filesystems with external journals.
1643 * mke2fs.8.in: Document new syntax for the -j option.
1645 2000-11-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1647 * e2image.c, Makefile.in: New program which saves ext2 metadata to
1648 a file for people who need a last-ditch saving throw.
1650 2000-10-24 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1652 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Applied Andreas Dilger's patch to make the -r -s
1653 handling a bit more sane. (Even though -s is deprecated
1656 * get_device_by_label.c: Apply fix from Erik Troan to support 16
1659 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Add a special case check for MD
1660 devices, so we don't try to check them in parallel with
1663 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main), mke2fs.8.in: Add support for the -j
1664 option, which builds an ext2/3 filesystem with an ext3
1667 2000-10-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
1669 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix really stupid typo which gcc 2.95
1672 2000-09-12 <tytso@valinux.com>
1674 * fsck.c: Add base device definitions for hd[e-h], for those
1675 systems with four IDE interfaces.
1677 2000-09-11 <tytso@valinux.com>
1679 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix error message printed when zap_sector
1682 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fixed format string bug when printing
1683 the inode table location in non-hex format.
1685 2000-08-20 <tytso@valinux.com>
1687 * get_device_by_label.c: Add call to ext2fs_find_block_device if
1688 we can't find the device using the name given by
1689 /proc/partitions. (This can happen if devfs is compiled
1690 into the kernel, but not mounted.)
1692 2000-06-27 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolabs.com>
1694 * dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option
1695 to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for
1696 location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors
1698 * mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict
1700 2000-08-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
1702 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general
1704 (main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to
1705 avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.
1707 2000-07-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1709 * get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in
1710 fsck, and speed up fsck -a.
1712 2000-07-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
1714 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.19
1716 2000-07-13 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1718 * badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options
1719 are mutually exclusive.
1721 * badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the
1722 block count must be specified if the starting block is to
1723 be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in
1726 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing
1727 variable before going into the write verification loop.
1728 This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block
1729 on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal
1730 while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The
1731 num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get
1732 clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no
1733 longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup
1736 * badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size).
1737 Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option
1738 to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing
1739 the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf
1742 2000-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1744 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as
1745 fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of
1746 the progress bar display logic.
1748 * tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if
1749 max_mount_count is negative.
1751 * tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be
1752 negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a
1755 * fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation
1756 for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root
1757 privileges if the partitions need to be scanned.
1758 Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for
1759 removeable devices such as floppies if there are any
1760 LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab.
1762 * badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem
1763 is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive
1764 test. This can be overriden using the new -f option.
1766 * badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the
1767 blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly
1768 document the start-block parameter. Added documentation
1771 * badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be
1772 optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the
1773 device as a default.
1775 2000-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1777 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that
1778 it's more obviously what's going on. Fixed a few
1779 potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the
1780 old, overly complicated logic.
1781 (flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and
1782 always forces a sync; this is required before it's really
1783 safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels.
1785 2000-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1787 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
1788 filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
1789 size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
1790 argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.
1792 2000-05-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1794 * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
1795 or LABEL= specification is given.
1797 * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
1798 the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
1799 (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
1800 to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
1801 that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
1802 feature for the forseeable future, either.)
1804 * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
1805 proceed_question that was busted due to the
1806 internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if
1807 proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
1808 cleared of the previous question's newline.
1810 Thu Apr 6 17:50:25 2000 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@signal.thunk.org>
1812 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't
1813 support fdatasync().
1815 2000-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1817 * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
1818 uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
1819 manually define optarg and optind.
1821 * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
1824 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
1825 now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
1826 longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
1827 (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
1829 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
1830 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
1832 chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
1834 2000-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1837 * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
1839 * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
1841 * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
1843 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
1844 blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
1846 * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
1847 Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
1848 #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
1849 file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
1852 * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
1853 The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
1854 Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.
1856 2000-02-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1858 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
1859 fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1860 mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
1861 uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
1862 suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
1864 * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
1865 Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
1866 removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
1867 clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
1868 code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
1869 was interrupted at the wrong time.)
1871 * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
1873 2000-02-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1875 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
1876 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
1877 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
1878 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
1879 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
1881 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
1882 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
1884 * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h
1886 2000-01-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1888 * tune2fs.c (usage): Update the usage message to correctly
1889 document the -s option.
1891 2000-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1893 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
1894 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
1895 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
1896 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
1898 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
1899 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
1900 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
1901 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
1902 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
1903 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
1904 Finally, the original data is written back.
1906 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
1907 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
1908 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
1909 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
1910 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
1911 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
1912 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
1913 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
1914 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
1915 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
1916 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
1917 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
1918 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
1919 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
1920 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
1922 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
1923 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
1924 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
1927 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
1928 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
1930 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
1931 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
1932 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
1933 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
1934 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
1935 and want the host hard drive to flush.
1937 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
1938 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
1939 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
1940 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
1941 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
1942 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
1943 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
1944 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
1947 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
1948 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
1949 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
1950 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
1951 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
1952 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
1953 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
1954 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
1955 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
1956 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
1957 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
1958 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
1959 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
1960 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
1961 completely reliable.
1963 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
1964 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
1965 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
1966 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
1967 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
1968 for your information.
1970 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
1971 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
1972 which I install which will write back whatever original
1973 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
1974 (except SIGKILL, of course).
1976 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
1977 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
1978 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
1979 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
1980 could learn how to update the manpage and other
1981 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
1982 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
1983 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
1984 should be in the distribution."
1986 2000-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1988 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
1989 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
1990 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
1992 1999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>
1994 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix man page so that the sparse_super filesystem
1995 option is properly named.
1997 1999-11-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1999 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
2000 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
2001 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
2003 1999-11-19 <tytso@valinux.com>
2005 * Makefile.in (distclean): Remove TAGS and Makefile.in.old from
2006 the source directory.
2008 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
2010 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.18
2012 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
2014 * mke2fs.8.in: Update manual page so that the sparse_option
2015 filesystem option is properly named.
2017 1999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
2019 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
2020 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
2021 fsck -As can do so interactively.
2023 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
2025 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.17
2027 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
2029 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
2030 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
2031 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
2033 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
2034 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
2035 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
2036 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
2038 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
2039 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
2040 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
2043 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
2044 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
2045 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
2046 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
2049 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
2050 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
2052 1999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
2054 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
2056 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
2057 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
2058 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
2060 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
2061 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
2064 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
2066 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16
2068 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
2070 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
2071 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
2072 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
2073 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
2075 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
2076 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
2077 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
2078 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
2080 1999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>
2082 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
2083 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
2084 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
2085 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
2086 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
2088 1999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
2090 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
2091 changing the sparse superblock option
2093 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
2094 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
2095 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
2098 1999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
2100 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
2101 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
2103 1999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
2105 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
2108 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
2111 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
2112 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
2115 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
2118 1999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
2120 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
2123 1999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
2125 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
2127 1999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2129 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
2130 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
2131 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
2132 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
2133 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
2134 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
2135 the filesystem the system would make.
2137 1999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
2139 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
2140 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
2141 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
2142 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
2143 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
2145 1999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
2147 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
2148 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
2149 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
2151 1999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
2153 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
2154 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
2156 1999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
2158 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
2159 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
2160 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
2161 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
2162 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
2163 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
2165 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
2166 UUID=bar type specifications.
2168 1999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
2170 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
2171 clear out a large block number.
2173 1999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
2175 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
2176 appears mounted if the force option is given.
2178 1999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
2180 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
2181 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
2183 1999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2185 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
2188 1999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2190 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
2191 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
2192 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
2193 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
2195 1999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
2197 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
2200 1999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2202 * fsck.c (fsck_device, execute): Don't dereference a null pointer
2203 when checking a filesystem not in /etc/fstab.
2205 1999-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2207 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
2208 in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
2209 Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
2210 the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.
2212 1999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2214 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
2215 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
2216 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
2217 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
2218 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
2219 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
2221 1999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2223 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
2224 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
2225 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
2226 fsck pass structure.
2227 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
2228 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
2231 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2233 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.14
2235 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2237 * fsck.8.in: Clarified and expanded the documentation for the -A
2240 1999-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2242 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the pass number field is missing, it

2635 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
2636 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
2637 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
2638 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
2639 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
2640 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
2641 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
2642 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this

2657 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
2658 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
2659 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
2660 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
2661 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
2663 Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

2685 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
2688 Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

2691 function to determine if the device is mounted.
2693 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
2694 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
2695 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
2696 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
2698 Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2700 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user

2725 Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
2727 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
2728 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the

2731 Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2733 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
2734 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
2735 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
2736 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
2739 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
2740 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---

2766 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
2768 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
2769 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.

2782 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
2783 statically sized buffer.
2784 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
2785 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
2787 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
2788 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
2789 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
2790 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
2791 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
2793 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
2794 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
2795 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
2796 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
2799 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
2800 support separate compilation directories.
2802 Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
2804 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
2805 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
2806 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
2807 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
2809 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
2810 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
2811 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
2812 very large partition.
2814 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
2815 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
2816 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
2818 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
2819 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
2820 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
2821 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
2822 ioctl, which most do.)
2824 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
2825 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
2826 during 0.5b development.)
2828 Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
2830 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
2831 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
2832 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
2833 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
2836 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
2837 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
2838 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
2840 Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
2842 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
2844 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
2845 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
2846 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
2848 Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2850 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
2852 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
2854 Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
2856 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
2857 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
2858 all partitions should be checked.
2860 Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
2862 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
2865 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
2868 Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2870 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
2871 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
2873 Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2875 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
2877 Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
2879 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
2882 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
2884 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
2886 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
2888 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
2890 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
2892 Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2894 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
2895 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
2896 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
2897 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
2898 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
2900 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
2901 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
2902 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
2903 statistics if necessary.
