1 Thu May 16 11:12:30 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
3 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.04
5 Wed May 15 21:15:43 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
7 * Makefile.in (fsck): fsck doesn't need to be linked with the ext2
10 Wed Mar 27 00:33:40 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
12 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.03
14 Thu Mar 7 03:43:20 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
16 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add (for development only) support to
17 specify revision and inode size of the new filesystem.
19 Tue Mar 5 03:51:35 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
21 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix a few minor typo's in the man page.
23 * mke2fs.c (reserve_inodes): Add support for dynamic first inode
26 Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
28 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
29 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
30 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
31 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
32 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
33 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
34 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
35 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
38 Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
40 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.02
42 Tue Oct 30 21:14:12 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
44 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add check to warn user if they
45 are trying to mke2fs the whole disk. (/dev/hda
48 Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
50 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
51 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
52 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
53 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
54 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
56 Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
58 * dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to
61 Mon Oct 30 20:21:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
63 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a
64 stupid typo which caused coredumps in some cases.
66 Thu Oct 26 12:05:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
68 * Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed.
70 Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
72 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
73 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
74 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
76 Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
78 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
81 Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
83 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
84 function to determine if the device is mounted.
86 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
87 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
88 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
89 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
91 Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
93 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
94 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
95 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
98 Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
107 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
109 Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
111 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
112 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
113 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
116 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
118 Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
120 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
121 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the
122 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
124 Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
126 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
127 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
128 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
129 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
132 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
133 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
134 alloca is not portable!
136 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
137 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
140 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
142 Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
144 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
147 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
149 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
150 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
152 Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
154 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
155 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
157 Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
159 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
161 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
162 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
164 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
166 Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
168 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
169 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
170 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
171 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
173 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
174 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
175 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
176 statically sized buffer.
177 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
178 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
180 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
181 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
182 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
183 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
184 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
186 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
187 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
188 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
189 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
192 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
193 support separate compilation directories.
195 Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
197 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
198 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
199 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
200 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
202 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
203 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
204 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
205 very large partition.
207 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
208 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
209 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
211 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
212 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
213 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
214 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
215 ioctl, which most do.)
217 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
218 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
219 during 0.5b development.)
221 Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
223 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
224 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
225 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
226 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
229 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
230 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
231 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
233 Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
235 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
237 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
238 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
239 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
241 Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
243 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
245 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
247 Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
249 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
250 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
251 all partitions should be checked.
253 Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
255 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
258 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
261 Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
263 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
264 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
266 Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
268 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
270 Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
272 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
275 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
277 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
279 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
281 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
283 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
285 Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
287 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
288 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
289 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
290 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
291 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
293 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
294 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
295 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
296 statistics if necessary.
