56 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix deadcode bug detected by Coverity where if
57 the fs_type is not specified and we are creating a journal
58 device, to use a fs_type of "journal"; this used to be the
59 behavior before we added support for the /etc/mke2fs.conf
60 file, so let's fix it to restore the old behavior.
62 2006-12-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
64 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, e2initrd_helper.c, e2image.c, dumpe2fs.c:

106 * mke2fs.c: Fix revision 0 error checking so that it doesn't give
107 a spurious error when the user gives a command-line option
108 of "-O none". (Addresses Debian bug: #392107). Add
109 error checking so that "-r 0 -j", "-r 0 -s 1", and
110 "-r 0 -E resize=XXX" will print an explanatory error

123 journal size from 1024 to 1400 to make sure it is big
124 enough for on-line resizing.

189 really big filesystems.
191 2006-08-06 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
193 * findsuper.c (main): Improve findsuper program by printing the
194 uuid and label from the superblocks, as well as the
195 starting and ending offsets of the filesystem given the
196 information in the superblock. Omit by default printing
197 superblocks that are likely found in located in an ext3
198 journal unless an explicit -j option is given.

202 * mke2fs.c (PRS), util.c (check_mount): In order to force mke2fs
203 to create a filesystem even though it appears to be in use
204 or mounted, the -F (force) flag must be specified twice.
206 * filefrag.c: Change EXT3_EXTENTS_FL to EXT4_EXTENTS_FL

239 * tune2fs.8.in: Clarify how the -c and -C options work.
241 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Don't give a confusing error
242 message if the user specifies an check time interval
243 greater than a year; it's probably a bad idea, but it's
244 not worth it to complain.
246 2006-05-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
248 * mke2fs.c (test_disk): Pass the private option -X to badblocks so
249 that mke2fs -cc works again. (Addresses Debian bug:
252 * badblocks.c (main, check_mount): Add a private option, -X, which
253 is only intended for use by mke2fs and e2fsck to signal
254 that it's OK to skip the EXT2_MF_BUSY test since mke2fs
255 and e2fsck already have the block device opened
256 exclusively (and therefore no one else does).
258 2006-05-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
260 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables, setup_lazy_bg, main): Add support
261 for the COMPAT_LAZY_BG feature. This is currently

294 of the man pages are deleted when installing the man
297 2006-03-23 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
299 * mklost+found.c (main): Use a larger counter field so that we can
300 create enough directory entries that we can make a full
301 lost+found directory with larger block sizes.
303 * mke2fs.conf, mke2fs.conf.5.in: New configuration file which when
304 installed, provides mke2fs's old behaviour. It makes it
305 easier for distributions to change which filesystem
306 options are the default.
308 * mke2fs.8.in: Update man page to document how the filesystem
309 features are now set.
311 * mke2fs.c: Radically rework how the filesystem features are set
312 when creating filesystems. Use the profile library to
313 read in a configuration file from /etc/mke2fs.conf.
315 * util.c (figure_journal_size): If the journal size is 0, assume
316 the journal size is unspecified and figure out the
317 approriate journal size instead of bombing out with an
320 * Makefile.in: Build and install the mke2fs.conf(5) man page. Add
321 profile.o from the e2fsck directory to mke2fs executable.

337 idiot will be able to see that some of these attributes
338 are not yet implemented. (Addresses Debian Bug: #312515)

359 that mke2fs -L takes an argument. (Addresses Debian Bug
362 * badblocks.c: Add extra spaces when printing the "done" message

416 see if the device is in use by the system.
418 * badblocks.c (check_mount): Check the new EXT2_MF_BUSY flag to
419 see if the device is in use by the system. (Works only

424 * filefrag.c (frag_report, get_bmap): The FIBMAP and FIGETBSZ
425 ioctls return an integer, not an unsigned long. Fix this
426 to avoid problems on 64-bit platforms where the size of an

432 * util.c (figure_journal_size): Change the default journal size to
433 be bigger for larger filesystems, given modern memory

438 the check interval (tune2fs -i)
440 * chattr.c: Fix case on usage message.

444 * blkid.c (main): Use the new functions blkid_dev_set_search() and
445 blkid_dev_has_tag(). Remove compare_search_type() since
446 it has been obseleted by blkid_dev_has_tag().
448 * blkid.c (main): Add a new flag, -l, which will use a more
449 efficient method to find the device that matches a
450 particular tag specifier.
452 2005-05-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
454 * blkid.c (main): Use an int instead of an char to store the
455 return value from getopt() for better portability on
456 systems where char types are unsigned. (Addresses
457 Sourceforge Bug: #1180585)

488 * filefrag.c (frag_report): Don't abort filefrag if
489 EXT3_IOC_GETFLAGS ioctl is not supported, so that filefrag
490 can work on non-ext2/3 filesystems, as advertised.

511 * filefrag.c (frag_report): Automatically detect files that are
512 stored using the new experimental file fragments format,
513 and use the non-ext2 algorithm for determing the number of
514 extents. Avoid reporting a false discontinuity if there
515 is a non-allocated block (or extent) at the beginning of

535 feature is actually enabled.
537 2005-01-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
539 * blkid.c (main, compare_search_type): Make blkid -t work more
540 consistently when the blkid cache file is explicitly set
541 to /dev/null. (Addresses Debian Bug #292425)
543 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Don't use a blocksize greater than 4k, even on
544 2.6 kernels, unless explicitly requested by the user; not
545 all 2.6 kernels (includeing stock 2.6 kernels as of this
546 writing) don't support blocksizes > 4k.
548 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the device size is too big to be expressed
549 using a 1k blocksize, retry with a 4k blocksize.

552 2005-01-26 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
554 * Makefile.in (uninstall): Make sure "make uninstall" removes
555 everything installed by the makefile.
557 * e2image.c (scramble_dir_block): Make sure the unused space
558 in the '.' and '..' directory entries are cleared when
559 e2image -rs is specified.
561 2005-01-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

568 specified criteria, not just the first one. (Addresses
571 2005-01-20 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
573 * filefrag.c (frag_report): Fix filefrag so that it works
574 correctly with sparse files; unallocated blocks should not
575 be treated as a discontinuity.

585 scrambles directory entries for raw image files.
587 2005-01-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
589 * tune2fs.c: On Solaris, defining _XOPEN_SOURCE inexplicably
590 causes struct timeval to be undefined, breaking system
591 header files left and right. But glibc requires
592 _XOPEN_SOURCE in order for strptime() to be defined. So
593 don't define _XOPEN_SOURCE on Solaris systems.
595 * filefrag.c (frag_report): Applied patch from Francois Petillon
596 (fantec at proxad.net) to avoid a file descriptor leak.
598 2005-01-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

605 * tune2fs.c (main): When specifying the number of reservered
606 blocks that can only be allocated by root, enforce a 50%
607 limit so that the user can't accidentally make a
608 superblock which e2fsck will think is insane.
610 2005-01-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
612 * fsck.c (PRS): Apply Fedora's e2fsprogs-1.35-progress.patch from
613 e2fsprogs-1.35-11.2. Fixed multiple command-line parsing
614 bugs so that backwards compatibility is maintained, and so
615 that certain command-line options wouldn't be ignored.
617 * mke2fs.c (parse_extended_opts): Rename the -R option to -E. Fix
618 the resize= raid/extended option so it actually works.
619 (The patch from Fedora e2fsprogs-1.35-11.2 claimed it
620 worked, but it was a placebo option, despite the claim
621 that it worked in the usage message.)
623 * e2initrd_helper.c: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
625 * e2image.c (main): Fix gcc -Wall nits. Fix e2image so that
626 e2image -I has an exit code of 0 when it is successful.
628 * mke2fs.c (PRS, parse_r_opts): Use parse_num_blocks() from the
629 e2p library to parse the number of blocks from the command

641 2004-12-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
643 * tune2fs.c (parse_time): Fix minor buglet; the parse_time routine
644 should use the passed-in argument, not optarg, even though
645 the two are the same in the case of the current caller of
648 2004-12-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
650 * mke2fs.c: Applied resize inode patch from Andreas Dilger to add
651 support for creating filesystems with reserved space for
654 2004-12-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

663 * e2image.8.in: Fix minor glitches in man page.
665 2004-11-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
667 * Makefile.in: Delete e2initrd_helper when doing a make clean.
669 * tune2fs.c: If there is a question mark in the device name,
670 separate out the options to the IO layer, and pass it on
673 * Makefile.in: Use Linux-kernel-style makefile output to make it
674 easier to see errors/warnings.
676 2004-11-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
678 * mke2fs.8.in: Removed the word "destructive" when describing the
679 read-write test, since it can confuse people.
681 2004-10-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
683 * mke2fs.8.in: Add an explanation about why reserved blocks in a
684 filesystem is a good thing.
686 2004-09-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
688 * badblocks.8.in: Document the default block size. (Addresses

705 2004-09-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
707 * badblocks.c: Use _() around done_string, so that it gets
708 correctly translated. (Addresses Debian Bug #252836)
710 * tune2fs.8.in: Add a description of the .journal file, why it
711 is created, and how e2fsck converts it to an invisible
712 journal. (Addresses Debian Bug #256760)
714 2004-09-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
716 * e2initrd_helper.c: New program which allows initrd scripts to
717 check on the contents of /etc/fstab without (a) needing to
718 mount the root filesystem, and (b) needing /bin/awk in the
719 initrd environment. (Addresses Debian Bug #247775)
721 2004-09-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
723 * tune2fs.8.in: Mention that e2fsck -D might be useful after
724 setting the dir_index filesystem feature. (Addresses
727 2004-07-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
729 * e2image.c, e2image.8.in: Add new option -I which allows the
730 administrator to install an metadata stored in an e2image
731 file to a filesystem. Obviously, this can be very
734 2004-06-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
736 * Makefile.in (mke2fs.static): Add the blkid library to so
737 mke2fs.static builds correctly.
739 2004-04-11 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

744 (Addresses Debian Bug #241940)
746 2004-04-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
748 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): If the compatibility bitmasks
749 were not modified, don't set the superblock dirty bit.
751 2004-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
753 * Makefile.in: Update the modtime even if subst doesn't need to
754 update the man pages, to avoid always re-running
755 subst, especially since there are no dependencies on these
758 2004-03-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
760 * blkid.c: Remove the partially implemented -p option (it never
761 did anything, but was documented in the man page and the
764 2004-03-20 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
766 * blkid.c (main, print_tags): Add new option -o which allows the
767 user to control the output format of blkid.

774 currently only supported when writing a raw image dump.
775 (Addresses Debian bug #236383)
777 2004-03-04 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
779 * logsave.c (main): Use setsid() to avoid getting killed by init
780 (run_program): Add a newline after reporting the exit code
781 or signal when the program exits.
783 2004-02-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
785 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.35
787 2004-02-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
789 * badblocks.c (main): Change the default number of blocks tested
790 at once from 16 to 64. (Addresses Debian bug #232240)
792 2004-02-26 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
794 * filefrag.c: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
796 * badblocks.c (pattern_fill): Fix bug accidentally added when
797 fixing up gcc -Wall nits. badblocks -t random was not
798 getting handled properly because ~0 needed to be cast to
799 an unsigned long instead of an unsigned char. (Addresses
802 2004-02-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
804 * fsck.c (execute): Use '&&' instead of '&'. (It didn't cause a
805 problem because we got lucky, but let's do things right.
806 Fix from Thomas Woerner at Red Hat.)
808 2004-02-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
810 * filefrag.c: Use #ifdef __linux__ instead of __LINUX__ so that it
811 actually compiles on Linux. (Addresses Debian bug
814 2004-01-31 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
816 * chattr.1.in: Clarify man page.
818 * chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mklost+found.8.in,
819 tune2fs.8.in: List Theodore Ts'o <tytso@alum.mit.edu> as
820 the current maintainer.
822 2004-01-20 root <tytso@mit.edu>
824 * chattr.c (main): Add support for '--' to stop options
825 processing. (Addresses Debian bug #225188).
827 2003-12-26 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
829 * chattr.1.in: Update text indicating the 'c', 's', and 'u'
830 attributes are not currently supported to remove any
831 mention of a specific kernel version. (Addresses Debian
834 * fsck.8.in: Update text describing "standard" options supported
835 by filesystem-specific checkers. (Addresses Debian bug
838 2003-12-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
840 * Makefile.in: Add filefrag program to the list of programs
841 installed in /usr/sbin.

853 util.c: Fix gcc -Wall nitpicks.
855 2003-09-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
857 * tune2fs.c (parse_e2label_options, parse_tune2fs_options,
858 do_findfs): Check the returned name from blkid_get_devname and
859 print an error if the requested LABEL/UUID does not exist.
861 2003-09-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
863 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Use ext2fs_super_and_bgd_loc to
864 determine the locations of the superblock and block group
867 2003-11-20 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
869 * util.c (check_plausibility): Support 2.6 kernel header files,
870 instead of having the build to crash. (Addresses Debian
873 2003-09-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
875 * mke2fs.c (progress_init, progress_update): If the environment
876 variable MKE2FS_SKIP_PROGRESS is set, then don't print out
877 a progress bar; for regression test support.
878 (PRS): If the environment variable MKE2FS_DEVICE_SECTSIZE
879 is set, then override the device sector size. Again for
880 regression test support.
881 (main): If the environment variable MKE2FS_SKIP_CHECK_MSG
882 is set, then skip printing an information messages about
883 when the filesystem will be checked, since this number is
884 random and screws up the regression test expect script.
886 2003-08-31 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
888 * mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults): Fix bug which caused -T largefile or
889 -T largefile4 to core dump due to a division by zero
890 error. (Addressed Debian bug #207082)
892 2003-08-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
894 * dumpe2fs.8.in, e2image.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in,
895 tune2fs.8.in: Adjust description line so that apropos
896 "ext2" or "ext3" will find the man page. (Addresses
899 2003-08-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
901 * badblocks.c (set_o_direct): Add check to make sure the file
902 offset of the device is page aligned. (Addresses Debian

906 error so that we continue reading on page-aligned
907 boundaries. (Thanks to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for
910 2003-07-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
912 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.34
914 2003-07-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
916 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add warning if using -j and the blocksize is
917 greater than 4096, since some kernels don't support ext3
918 with large block sizes. (Addresses Debian bug #193773)
920 * badblocks.c (set_o_direct): Remove debugging printf. (Addresses
923 2003-07-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
925 * fsck.c (wait_many): Rename wait_all() to wait_many(), and have
926 new semantics: WAIT_ALL vs. WAIT_ATLEAST_ONE. This fixes
927 a bug where when fsck is waiting for another partition on
928 the same spindle, it spins wasting a lot of CPU.
930 2003-07-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
932 * badblocks.c (do_read, do_write, test_rw): Change the read/write
933 test to honor the -c option (number of blocks at a time).
934 do_read and do_write will try to turn on the O_DIRECT flag
935 if it appears that it is possible to use it. (Addresses
938 * mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults): If sector_size is 0, don't use it to
939 set the blocksize to zero. This causes MD devices to fail
940 since they don't support the BLKSSZGET ioctl. (Addresses
943 2003-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
945 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main): If CONFIG_TESTIO_DEBUG, then use the
948 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Round down the default filesystem size so that
949 it is an even multiple of the page size, to work around
950 buffer cache kernel bug.
952 * badblocks.c: Fix gcc -Wall nitpicks (signed/unsigned type issues)
954 * blkid.c: Fix gcc -Wall nitpicks (missing #include <string.h>)
956 2003-05-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
958 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): If the sector size of the
959 device is larger than the default block size, then use the
960 sector size of the device as the default block size.
962 2003-05-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
964 * badblocks.c: Use an unsigned integer to support 4-byte test
965 patterns with the high bit set. Let the user explicitly
966 specify a random pattern with the argument "random".
968 2003-05-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
970 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Fix minor memory leak with test_rw() is
971 called for multiple passes.
972 (test_nd): Fix bug in chosing randomness for the
973 non-destructive test. We were only using 1 bit of
974 randomness per byte instead of 8 due to a bit-shift bug.
975 Also, initialize the random number generator from the time
976 in main(). Thanks to Thayne Harbaugh for pointing out
979 * badblocks.c, badblocks.8.in: Functional enhancements contributed
980 by Thayne Harbaugh. These patches allow the -t option to
981 control the test pattern(s) used when checking the disk.
982 Test patterns may be specified in all modes (r/w, r/o and
985 2003-05-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
987 * tune2fs.c (main, add_journal_device, remove_journal_device): If
988 --enable-testio-debug is set, then use the test_io manager
989 so we can watch what tune2fs is doing.
991 2003-05-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
993 * uuidgen.c (main): Add setup functions for NLS support.
995 * e2image.c (write_header), mke2fs.c (PRS): Add missing space in
998 * badblocks.c (usage), findsuper.c (main), util.c
999 (parse_journal_opts): Fix typo in usage string.
1001 * tune2fs.c (parse_time): Add portability code to work around lack
1004 * Makefile.in: Add $(LIBINTL) to the link line so we can support
1005 using the internal gettext library.
1007 * nls-enable.h: Add #ifndef protection around LOCALEDIR definition.
1009 2003-04-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1011 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.33
1013 2003-04-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1015 * Makefile.in (uuidgen): Avoid linking lsattr and chattr against
1016 libext2fs, and avoid linking blkid against any of the ext2
1019 2003-04-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1021 * Makefile.in (fsck): Fsck does not need to linked against the
1022 ext2 libraries anymore.
1024 2003-04-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1026 * fsck.c (main): Put stdout and stderr into non-buffered mode to
1027 avoid cosmetic problems when running fsck under logsave.
1029 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Avoid printing the version banner for mke2fs if
1030 the -q option is specified. (Addresses Debian bug #172716)
1032 * logsave.c: Add support for the -a option (only partially
1033 implemented previously). Always log the command-line and
1034 start and stop time to the log file. Add support for the
1035 -s option, which skips text bracketed between control-A
1036 and control-B characters.
1038 2003-04-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1040 * logsave.c: New program which saves the output of a command in a
1041 log file, even if the containing directory hasn't been
1042 mounted yet (in which case the it saves the output in
1043 memory until it can write out the logfile).
1045 2003-04-11 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1047 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the argument to -b is negative, treat it as a
1048 minimum blocksize. (Feature requested by EVMS developers
1049 for mainframe DASD's that do not support 1k blocksizes.)
1051 * mke2fs.8.in: Document the -g option. (Addresses Debian bug #188318)
1053 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug where mke2fs was incorrectly checking
1054 the argument to the -g option, if the default block size
1055 is used. (Addresses Debian bug #188319)
1057 * tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Document the dir_index filesystem
1058 feature which can be used with the -O option.
1060 2003-04-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1062 * fsck.c (parse_fstab_line, interpret_type, fsck_device, ignore,
1063 main): Don't evaluate the filesystem type when loading the
1064 fstab file, since that might cause fsck to hang trying to
1065 read from a floppy disk. (Addresses Debian bug #187812)
1066 Add tmpfs and devpts to filesystems that should be
1067 ignored, and add jfs, reseirfs, and xfs as filesystems
1068 types where we should complain if we can't find the fsck
1069 program for that filesystem type.
1071 2003-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1073 * badblocks.c (bb_output): Flush output to the badblocks
1074 output file as bad blocks are discovered.
1076 2003-03-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1078 * chattr.1.in: Clarified the description of the 't' (no tail)
1079 attribute. (Addresses Debian bug #185945)
1081 2003-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1083 * fsck.c: And #ifdef protection around #include of malloc.h
1085 2003-03-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1087 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Include blocks from slow
1088 symbolic links in the raw image file.
1090 2003-03-06 <tytso@mit.edu>
1092 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options, parse_e2label_options): Allow
1093 the device name to be specified using LABEL=xxx or
1094 UUID=xxx, since we're including the blkid library anyway.
1095 (Addresses Debian bugs #166048, #179671)
1097 * tune2fs.8.in, chattr.1.in: Minor man page fixes (Addresses
1098 Debian bugs #175233, #175113, and #170497)
1100 2003-03-06 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1102 * Makefile.in (DEPLIBS_BLKID): Use DEPLIBUUID, not LIBUUID to
1103 avoid depending on -lsocket on Solaris.
1105 2003-03-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1107 * fsck.c, util.c, tune2fs.c, Makefile.in: Use the blkid library
1108 instead of the specialized functions in
1109 get-device-by-label.c and fstype.c.
1111 * base_device.c (base_device): Take a const char* as an argument.
1113 * blkid.c: Remove deprecated -d option,
1115 2003-02-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1117 * blkid.c: Update to reflect renaming of blkid_get_devname() to
1118 blkid_get_dev(), and blkid_get_token() to
1119 blkid_get_devname().
1121 2003-01-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1123 * badblocks.8.in: Fix grammar nit.
1125 2003-01-26 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

1137 backslash escaping in /etc/fstab. (i.e., so that \040
1140 2002-11-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1142 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Don't enable the dir_index feature by default;
1143 the ext2 code on 2.4 kernels (but not 2.2 kernels, and not
1144 the 2.4 ext3 code) accidentally had the backwards
1145 compatibility support for dir_indexing removed.
1147 2002-11-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1149 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.32

1163 2002-11-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1165 * chattr.c, chattr.1.in: Add support for a new inode flag, which
1166 is to be used for indicating the top of directory
1167 hierarchies for the Orlov block allocator.
1169 2002-10-31 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1171 * get_device_by_label.c (read_partitions): Pay attention to
1172 partitions returned in /proc/partitions that begin with
1173 with the string "lvm".
1175 2002-10-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1177 * Makefile.in (install): Search all compression extensions when
1178 deleting old man pages.
1180 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix bug in algorithm which determined
1181 which blocks are used as backup superblock and block group
1184 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug which checked the tmp pointer
1185 erreoneously (and needlessly).
1187 2002-10-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1189 * fsck.c (main): Fix bug reported by Gregory Mutt. Multiple
1190 filesystems explicitly specified on the command line were
1191 not being checked in parallel, due to a logic bug
1192 introduced in to support the FSCK_MAX_INST environment
1195 2002-10-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1197 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc, main): Make dumpe2fs more robust so that
1198 if there is an error reading the block/inode bitmaps, it
1199 will still print out the contents of the block group
1202 2002-10-20 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1204 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc), mke2fs.c (PRS), e2image.c

1208 2002-10-15 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1210 * tune2fs.8.in, tune2fs.c (update_mntopts, main): Add new option
1211 'o' which allows the system administrator to specify
1212 default mount options.
1214 2002-10-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1216 * get_device_by_label.c (read_partitions): Use a 16k buffer to
1217 read in /proc/partitions in one go.
1219 * badblocks.c, fsck.c, fstype.c, get_device_by_label.c,
1220 tune2fs.c: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
1222 2002-10-11 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1224 * mklost+found.c (main): Make sure the lost+found directory is
1225 created with 0700 permissions.
1227 2002-10-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1229 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Handle a bad block in the
1230 inode table correctly.
1232 2002-09-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1234 * get_device_by_label.c: Applied sourceforge patch #613447, which
1235 adds support for reiserfs volumes for LABEL= and UUID=
1238 * badblocks.c (main): Appled sourceforge patch #600451, which
1239 addresses sourceforge bug #600388, by AEF. This allows
1240 badblocks to work correctly on read-only devices such as
1241 CD-ROM's, DVD's, etc.
1243 2002-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1245 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Clarify manual pages about using the
1246 caret ('^') character to negate feature sets when using
1247 the -O option. Define the has_journal feature to avoid
1248 confusion about what ^has_journal means.
1250 2001-09-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1252 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.29
1254 2002-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1256 * fsck.c: If the bone-headed user enters the filename twice, the
1257 -R option which skips the root filesystem will skip all of
1258 them. (Addresses Debian bug #159423). Note! This is not
1259 a precedent for dealing intelligently with any other kind
1260 of doubled entry in /etc/fstab!
1262 2002-09-22 root <tytso@mit.edu>
1264 * mke2fs.c (main): Enable directory indexing by default.
1266 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Allow directory indexing flag to
1267 be set. If so, set the default hash to be TEA, and
1268 initialize the hash seed to a random value.
1270 2002-09-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1272 * get_device_by_label.c (init_lvm): Fix bug which caused
1273 LABEL='xxx' to not work correctly when using LVM.
1274 (Reversed sense of error check reported by ateeq@hotpop.com)
1276 2001-08-31 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
1278 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.28
1280 2002-08-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1282 * findfs.8.in: New man page.
1284 * tune2fs.c (do_findfs): If tune2fs is executed with argv[0] set
1285 to findfs, then it will interpret argv[1] as one of
1286 LABEL=xxx or UUID=xxx and translate it to a device name.
1288 * get_device_by_label.c (uuidcache_init): Moved code which
1289 interpreted /proc/partitions into read_partitions(), and
1290 then added support for interpreting /proc/evms/volumes in
1291 read_evms(). uuidcache_init() calls both read_evms() and
1294 * mke2fs.8.in: Add a common usage of the -n option. (Addresses
1297 * fsck.c (main): If no filesystems are specified on the command
1298 line, default to -As. (Addresses Debian Bug #153102)
1300 * badblocks.8.in: Clarify why it's bad to do a non-destructive
1301 test on a r/o mounted filesystem. (Addresses Debian Bug
1304 * chattr.1.in: Document the compression attribute flags E, X, and
1305 Z, and explain that chattr can't set or set these flags.
1306 (Addresses Debian Bug #151990)
1308 * fsck.8.in: Fix typo in man page, and clarified text regarding
1309 options specifiers for -t option. (Addresses Debian bug
1312 * mke2fs.c (main): If there is a problem zeroing blocks at the end
1313 of the filesystem, don't abort mke2fs. Addresses Debian
1316 2002-08-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1318 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Check for an extended
1319 attribute block before checking for has_valid_blocks.
1321 2002-07-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1323 * fsck.8.in: Document new fsck exit code, FSCK_CANCELED.
1325 * fsck.c: Trap SIGINT and SIGTERM, and relay it to all of the
1326 child fsck processes.
1328 2002-07-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1330 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Clear the buffer *after* testing for the
1331 BSD sector label. Otherwise the first 512 bytes don't get
1332 zapped. (Addresses Debian bug #147256.)
1334 2002-07-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1336 * mke2fs.8.in: Cleaned up man page, and made it a bit more
1337 OS-agnostic. Addresses Debian bug #144621. Hope this
1338 makes the Hurd whiners happy. :-)
1340 2002-06-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1342 * chattr.1.in: Fix man page typo. (Addresses Debian bug #141938)
1344 2002-06-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1346 * chattr.c: Applied patch from Andrew to support the dirsync flag.
1348 2002-05-22 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
1350 * mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults): make the default inode ratio at most
1351 one inode per block for large blocksizes.
1353 2002-05-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1355 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Determine the page size using sysconf() at
1356 runtime, instead of using the Linux system header files.
1358 2002-05-16 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
1360 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Allow blocksizes larger than 4k to be specified,
1361 with warning printed and the user questioned if blocksize
1362 is larger than the system's page size according to the
1363 Linux kernel header files. Added better checking for
1364 valid inode sizes, and again print a warning message if
1365 using a large inode size (since most kernels today don't
1368 2002-04-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1370 * fsck.8.in: Fix typo in man page.
1372 2002-03-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1374 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.27
1376 2002-03-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1378 * mke2fs.c: Check for the BSD disklabel on all architectures, and
1379 also check the byte-swapped magic number as well.
1381 2002-03-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1383 * mke2fs.c: Output warnings to stderr
1384 (From Philipp Thomas <pthomas@suse.de>)
1386 * base_device.c (main): Fix gcc -Wall complaints in debug code.
1388 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Don't erase BSD disklabels on Alpha.
1389 (From Thorsten Kukuk <kukuk@suse.de>)
1391 2002-03-04 Philipp Thomas <pthomas@suse.de>
1393 * chattr.c (main), fsck.c (main), mke2fs.c (main), findsuper.c
1394 (main), dumpe2fs.c (main), lsattr.c (main), partinfo.c (main),
1395 tune2fs.c (main), mklost+found.c (main), badblocks.c
1396 (main), e2image.c (main): Newer libintl needs LC_CTYPE to
1397 be set in addition to LC_MESSAGES.
1399 2002-02-25 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
1401 * mke2fs.c: Add check for mkfs.ext3 and create a journal in
1404 2002-02-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1406 * Makefile.in (install): Install hard links for man pages for
1407 mkfs.ext2 and mkfs.ext3. Also install hard link for
1408 mkfs.ext3. Remove any compressed man pages before
1409 installing the man pages.
1411 2002-02-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1413 * badblocks.8.in: Clarify man page's description of the -f option
1415 2002-02-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1417 * get_device_by_label.c: Since on non-STDC compilers, we define
1418 away const, include get_device_by_label.h after we include
1421 * Makefile.in (base_device): Remove use of $<, which is
1424 2002-02-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
1426 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.26
1428 2002-02-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1430 * fsck.c (interpret_type): Allow filesystems types of the form
1433 * fstype.c (identify_fs): Add support for only searching for a
1434 specified list of filesystems. Also add support for
1435 identifying reiserfs filesystems.
1437 2002-01-29 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1439 * fsck.c: Allow the number of outstanding processes fs-specific
1440 fsck programs to be capped via the FSCK_MAX_INST
1441 envrionment variable.
1443 * fsck.8.in: Document all of the environment variables used by fsck.
1445 2002-01-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1447 * tune2fs.8.in: Document the -f flag to tune2fs.
1449 2002-01-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1451 * badblocks.c (main): Open the device as O_RDWR if possible, since
1452 fsync() isn't guaranteed to work if the filesystem is
1455 2001-12-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1457 * tune2fs.8.in, tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options, main): Add
1458 support for new option, -T, which allows the user to set
1459 the last checked time on the filesystem.
1461 2001-12-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1463 * mke2fs.c (main, test_disk): If two -c options are
1464 specified, then perform a destructive read/write test
1467 * mke2fs.8.in: Document the double -c option; also encourage users
1468 to use -c instead of the -l/-L options since it's too hard
1469 for users to get things like the blocksize parameter correct.
1471 * badblocks.8.in: Encourage users to use the -c option in mke2fs
1472 and e2fsck instead of running badblocks directly.
1474 * mke2fs.c (create_lost_and_found): The lost+found directory is
1475 now created with 0700 permissions, since files which get
1476 dropped into that directory may have come from a protected
1477 directory, and the system administrator may not deal with
1478 immediately. (Addresses Debian bug #118443)
1480 2001-12-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1482 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: Move linux/jbd.h to
1483 ext2fs/kernel-jbd.h, to avoid using the system header
1484 file version of hbd.h when using diet glibc (since it
1485 forcibly adds /usr/include to the beginning of the
1486 include search path.)
1488 2001-12-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1490 * get_device_by_label.c (init_lvm): Add support to read out
1491 information from the LVM proc hierarchy, so that the UUID
1492 cache can search the LVM logical volumes for UUID's,
1495 2001-12-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1497 * dumpe2fs.c (list_bad_blocks): Change to not die if the listing
1498 of the bad blocks can't be found. Slimmed down dumpe2fs
1499 by eliminating duplicate code paths.
1501 2001-12-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1503 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc), fsck.c (fs_match),
1504 get_device_by_label.c (get_label_uuid),
1505 mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults, zap_sector, PRS),
1506 tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device, update_feature_set),
1507 util.c (figure_journal_size), util.h: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
1509 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Fix gcc -Wall nits, and use
1510 the stashed inode functions to optimize away system calls.
1512 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: linux/jfs.h has been renamed to
1515 2001-12-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1517 * dumpe2fs.c: Don't print the offset to the bitmap and inode table
1518 if it's negative. Also did some generalized code clean up
1519 to slim it down the support of the -x option.
1521 2001-11-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1523 * e2image.8.in: Fix cut-and-paste typo (Addresses Debian bug
1526 2001-11-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1528 * util.c (check_plausibility): Use stat64 if available so that
1529 check_plausibility() works with files > 2GB.
1531 2001-11-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1533 * chattr.1.in: Update the man page to document the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL
1536 * chattr.c: Add support for the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL flag.
1538 * fsck.c (interpret_type): If the "auto" type is specified, make
1539 sure interpet_device() is called so that device
1540 specifications which use LABEL= or UUID= are translated
1541 into a real device name.
1543 2001-10-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1545 * e2image.c (output_meta_data_blocks): Optimize away excess
1546 lseek() calls when creating a sparse file. Fewer system
1547 calls are a good thing. <g>
1549 2001-10-07 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
1551 * mke2fs.c (main): Always exit with non-zero code in case of error.
1553 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Check that buffer allocation succeeded.
1555 2001-09-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
1557 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.25
1559 2001-09-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1561 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_inode): Remove dead code that wasn't
1564 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect the fact that adding or
1565 removing a journal doesn't require running e2fsck.
1567 2001-09-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1569 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Allocate sufficient space for
1572 2001-09-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
1574 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24a
1576 2001-08-31 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>

1582 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24
1584 2001-08-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1586 * badblocks.8.in: Fix spelling typo. (Addresses Debian bug #110621)
1588 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Now takes a third argument, which is how
1589 many sectors to clear out. Fixed up Andreas's patch to
1590 make it a bit more efficient/compact.
1592 2001-08-30 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
1594 * mke2fs.c (main): Zap the second sector of the disk, along with
1595 any sectors in the same filesystem block after the superblock.
1596 The latter will remove (for example) swapspace signatures
1597 on 4kB+ blocksize filesystems. Also when zeroing the "end"
1598 of the filesystem don't actually zero the start of a very
1599 small device (less than 64 blocks).
1601 2001-08-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1603 * fsck.c (main): Make version display consistent with the other
1606 * lsattr.c, chattr.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c,
1607 mklost+found.c: Remove EXT2FS_VERSION from the version
1608 display, since it only confuses people.
1610 2001-08-18 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1612 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): Remove unused variable
1615 * get_device_by_label.h: Define function prototype for
1616 copy_string(), since this was moved from fsck.c to
1617 get_device_by_label.c by Andreas's BK changeset.
1619 2001-08-17 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
1621 * get_device_by_label.[ch], fsck.c, util.c: New interpret_spec()
1622 function in get_device_by_label.c to allow the use of
1623 UUID= or LABEL= when creating filesystems which use external
1624 journal dev (e.g. mke2fs -J device=LABEL=<journal_label>).
1626 * tune2fs.c: Use superblock s_journal_uuid to locate an external
1627 journal device instead of s_journal_dev when removing it.
1628 Allow opening journal devices to set the label and UUID
1629 in the ext2 superblock.
1631 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Free journal_device after use, as it is
1632 malloc'd in interpret spec.
1634 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1636 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.23
1638 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1640 * tune2fs.c: Make sure that error messages are sent to stderr, and
1641 normal messages are sent to stdout. (Addresses Debian bug
1644 * fsck.8.in: Fixed error in synopsis of the man page.
1646 * fsck.c (check_all): Don't bother to interpret a device where the
1647 pass number is zero. (Addresses Debian bug #106696.)
1648 (main): Print a warning message if there are no devices to
1649 be checked. (Addresses Debian bug #107458.)
1651 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Handle -O and -s options in line in the getopt
1652 loop, so that -s and -O handling are a bit more intuitive.
1653 (Not that they should be mixed anyway; -s is deprecated.)
1655 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Give an error if -O is
1656 specified more than once.
1658 2001-08-10 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1660 * mke2fs.8.in: Slim down text describing the -O flag to remove
1661 text that erroneously implied that all features
1662 (including compatible flags) aren't compatible with older
1665 2001-08-09 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1667 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug pointed out by Christopher Niessen; if
1668 mke2fs -O none is specified, the sparse_super feature
1669 should not be present.
1671 * e2image.c, e2image.8.in: Add support for raw image files.
1673 2001-08-04 Andreas Dilger <root@lynx.adilger.int>
1675 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Put check for JOURNAL_DEV before sparse_option,
1676 so we don't set the sparse superblock flag on journal devices.
1678 2001-07-31 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1680 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, remove_journal_inode): If
1681 removing an in-filesystem journal, clear out the journal
1682 inode and update the filesystem accounting structures so
1683 we don't have to run e2fsck to clean up after ourselves
1685 2001-07-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1687 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Don't require a forced fsck if
1688 we're removing an external journal from a filesystem.
1690 2001-07-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1692 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the blocksize is not specified and the
1693 journal device is specified, use it to determine the
1694 blocksize of the new filesystem.
1696 2001-07-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1698 * fsck.8.in: Add much more explicit language documenting how the
1699 fs_passno field in /etc/fstab is handled. (Addresses
1702 2001-07-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1704 * fstype.c (identify_fs): New file which looks at the superblock
1705 of the filesystem to determines its type.
1707 * fsck.c (fsck_device, ignore, interpret_type): Call identify_fs
1708 if the type specified in /etc/fstab is "auto".
1710 2001-06-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1712 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.22
1714 2001-06-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1716 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.21
1718 2001-06-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1720 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Remove unneeded test in when creating a external
1723 2001-06-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1725 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (print_check_message): Move
1726 the message which displays how often the filesystem will
1727 be checked from mke2fs into a utility subroutine. Then
1728 cause tune2fs to call that function to display the message
1729 after adding a journal to a filesystem.
1731 * mke2fs.8.in: Add manual page fixups and explanation for why it's
1732 good to check filesystems periodically from Andreas
1735 * Makefile.in: Don't build e2image if --disable-imager is
1736 specified to configure.
1738 2001-06-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1740 * dumpe2fs.c: Use WORDS_BIGENDIAN to determine whether or not
1741 we're (not) using i386 byte order.
1743 * dumpe2fs.c, mke2fs.c: Stop using the compatibility badblocks
1744 function, and use the ext2fs_badblocks_* functions
1747 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fixed bug which can cause fsck
1748 to core dump if there are a mix of devices with standard
1749 and non-standard names. (Addresses Debian bug #100559)
1751 2001-06-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1753 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Don't use _FILE_BITS_OFFSET method of using
1754 the 64-bit function, since this changes the expected size
1755 of struct dirent. Instead use lseek64 explicitly.
1757 2001-06-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1759 * Makefile.in: Move include/asm/types.h.in to
1760 lib/ext2fs/ext2_types.h.in.
1762 2001-05-25 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1764 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.20
1766 2001-05-25 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1768 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Fix capitalization typo.
1770 2001-05-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1772 * partinfo.c (main): Use unsigned long instead of long when
1773 querying the size of a device using the BLKGETSIZE ioctl,
1774 to remove the 1TB limit (and turn it into a 2TB limit :-)
1776 * fsck.c (compile_fs_type): Fix I18N compilation bug: use N_()
1777 instead of _() to initialize static variables.
1779 2001-05-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1781 * fsck.8.in, fsck.c (compile_fs_type, fs_type, ignore): Fix
1782 handling of -t option to be more intuitive. Also add
1783 support for the Mandrake -t loop hack. See man page
1784 for description of new -t semantics.
1786 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fix bug in
1787 device_already_active which could cause infinite loops if
1788 we don't know the base_device of the filesystem.
1790 * fsck.c: Make sure all exit status codes returned by fsck are
1791 consistent with the error codes documented in the fsck man
1794 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1796 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c, findsuper.c,
1797 lsattr.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c:
1798 Change location of ext2_fs.h to be ext2fs/ext2_fs.h
1800 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other clarifications suggested
1803 2001-05-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
1805 * mke2fs.c: don't zap the superblock if we are running with noaction!
1806 Zap the end of the device to remove stale RAID superblocks.
1808 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1810 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Clean up some printf messages.
1812 * fsck.8.in, mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other
1813 clarifications suggested by Andreas Dilger.
1815 2001-05-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1817 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Integrated changes from Andreas Dilger which
1818 make the revision superblock field be set to the correct
1819 value depending on if superblock features are set.
1821 2001-05-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1823 * fsck.c (PRS): fsck -? now prints the usage message.
1825 * badblocks.8.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in,
1826 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo; removed
1827 excess "anonymous" in the AVAILABILITY section.
1829 * chattr.1.in, lsattr.1.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update URL location of
1832 2001-05-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1834 * util.c: Use specific check for HAVE_SYS_STAT_H.
1836 2001-05-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1838 * fsck.8.in: Add explicit language to describe how options get
1839 passed to filesystem-specific checkers.
1841 * badblocks.8.in: Fixed man page to describe the first optional
1842 parameter to badblocks as last_block, instead of
1843 num_blocks. (Debian bug #87216)
1845 * badblocks.c: Change the blocks_count variable to be last_count,
1846 which is a more accurate description of the variable.
1848 2001-05-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1850 * e2image.8.in: New manual page
1852 * badblocks.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in mklost+found.8.in,
1853 tune2fs.8.in: Update location of e2fsprogs to be
1854 http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net.
1856 * dumpe2fs.c (main): Add new flag, -i, which will allow dumpe2fs
1857 to dump out the filesystem statistics from an ext2 image
1860 * e2image.c (main): Fix format of e2image to be easier to be parse
1863 2001-05-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1865 * fsck.c (device_already_active): If we're not able to determine
1866 the base device, we should assume that the device is
1867 already active in order to force serialization.
1869 2001-04-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1871 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Interpret -c 0 as -c -1 (for
1872 backwards compatibility with older kernels). -c 0 makes
1873 more sense to users.
1875 2001-04-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1877 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): If the force flag is given,
1878 tune2fs will remove the journal device information from
1879 the superblock even if tune2fs failed to open the journal
1880 device or otherwise other failed to remove the filesystem
1881 from journal device.
1882 (parse_tune2fs_options): Fix -j option so that it works
1883 (it was missing the open_flag being set to EXT2_FLAG_RW).
1884 (main): Accept "-U clear" to set a null UID.
1886 2001-04-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1888 * mke2fs.8.in: Manual page cleanups. Temporarily comment out the
1889 documentation for the extern journal device support.
1891 * mke2fs.c (usage): Remove the deprecated -s option from the usage
1894 2001-04-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1896 * mke2fs.c (main): Add better explanation about when the
1897 filesystem will be checked after it is created.
1899 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Remove code which allowed a bare
1900 number to be treated as a journal size.
1902 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Add newlines to error messages so that they
1905 * mke2fs.c (create_journal_dev): Call
1906 ext2fs_create_journal_superblock() first, so if it's going
1907 to error out, the user finds out before waiting for the
1908 entire device to get zero'ed.
1910 2001-03-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1912 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Change man paegs to document that the
1913 journal must be bewteen 1024 and 102,400 file system
1916 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Change to use figure_journal_size()
1918 * util.c, util.h (figure_journal_size): Change
1919 journal_default_size into routine which also converts the
1920 requested journal size into filesystem blocks and does
1921 bounds checking to make sure the journal is sized
1922 reasonably. Renamed function to journal_default_size.
1923 (parse_journal_opts): Remove bounds check for the journal
1924 size, since this is now done in figure_journal_size, and
1925 based on the number of filesystem blocks, as opposed to
1926 using the absolute size of the journal.
1928 2001-02-17 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1930 * mke2fs.c (main): Flush out the "creating journal" message.
1931 Also handle the case where the default journal size
1932 returns zero blocks == no journal. Print out how often
1933 the filesystem will be checked.
1935 2001-02-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1937 * e2image.c (main): Add code to write the e2image header.
1939 2001-02-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1941 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect that 2.0.39 supports
1944 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix fencepost error when calculating the
1945 range of inode table blocks. Add '0x' to values printed
1948 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Define the _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE to force the
1949 use of the LFS so that lstat will work on large files.
1951 2001-01-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1953 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Change user
1954 interface so that -J is used to specify journal options,
1955 and -j is used to request creation of a journal using
1956 default values. (This is a UI change, but we haven't done
1957 a formal release, and it makes things much more consistent
1958 with the rest of the options out there.)
1960 * tune2fs.c: Add support for removing a filesystem from an
1961 external journal; we correctly remove the filesystem UUID
1962 from the external journal's filesystem list.
1964 * util.h, util.c (journal_default_size): New function from Andreas
1965 Dilger to calculate an appropriate default journal size
1966 given a filesystem size.
1968 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Allow the creation of a journal as
1971 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Use s_first_data_block
1972 to find the correct block to read the journal superblock.
1974 2001-01-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1976 * tune2fs.c: Changed the external journal code so that it simply
1977 adds a filesystem to a journal; the journal must have bene
1978 created via "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX".
1980 * mke2fs.c: Add support for creating an external journal device by
1981 using the command "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX". Also
1982 changed the external journal code so -j device=/dev/XXX it
1983 simply adds a filesystem to that journal; the journal must
1984 have been created via separate step.
1986 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Add support for dumping
1987 information about an external journal device.
1989 2001-01-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1991 * mke2fs.c: Add new filesystem types, largefile and largefile4,
1992 for those filesystems whose average inode size is 1MB and
1993 4MB, respectively. Allow the inode ratio specified to be
1994 has high as 4MB. Make the s_max_mount_count vary between
1995 20 and 40, to avoid needing to check all of the
1996 filesystems at the same time. Add some random jitter to
1997 the s_max_mount_count value so that we avoid checking all
1998 of the filesystems at the same time when we reboot.
2000 * tune2fs.8.in: Add description of the -j option.
2002 * tune2fs.c (add_journal): Minor fixes from Andreas Dilger. Flush
2003 stdout after printing in-progress message.
2004 (main): Exit with status code 1 if we failed to determine
2005 the mount status of the device.
2007 2001-01-11 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
2009 * e2image.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c,
2010 uuidgen.c: Fix gcc -Wall complaints, including one bug in
2011 tune2fs caused by a block automatic shadowing version of
2012 the variable we really wanted to use, which broke the
2013 logic testing to see if the filesystem was mounted.
2015 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use ext2fs_sync_device() to sync and
2018 * mke2fs.c: Change ino_t to ext2_ino_t.
2020 2001-01-08 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
2022 * Makefile.in, tune2fs.c: Move e2label functionality into tune2fs,
2023 using argv[0] as a dispatch. This allows e2label to be
2024 (more) safely used on mounted filesystems.
2026 2001-01-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
2028 * get_device_by_label.h (get_volume_label_by_spec): Add function
2031 * get_device_by_label.c: Use string_copy() instead of strdup() for
2032 portability's sake. Fix a few other gcc -Wall
2035 * fsck.c (string_copy): Export string_copy() extern.
2037 * badblocks.c: Fix various gcc -Wall complaints, including
2038 an incorrect reference to sync in flush_bufs().
2040 2001-01-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
2042 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, add_journal): Moved to separate
2043 functions. Added ability to add and remove the journal
2044 while the filesystem is live. Added support for setting
2045 a time-based UUID. Removed zero-initialized static variables.
2047 * mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (strcasecmp, proceed_question,
2048 check_plausibility, parse_journal_opts, check_mount):
2049 Moved functions to util.c so they can be used by tune2fs.
2051 * mke2fs.c (main): Change ext2fs_add_journal_fs() to
2052 ext2fs_add_journal_inode() to reflect function renaming.
2054 2001-01-01 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
2056 * mke2fs.c, e2image.c: Removed references to struct ext2fs_sb to
2057 struct ext2_super_block.
2059 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support to allow HAS_JOURNAL flag to be
2060 cleared, but only if the filesystem is unmounted or
2061 mounted read-only. Changed struct ext2fs_sb to struct
2062 ext2_super_block, and cleaned up old code which was needed
2063 for old versions of ext2_fs.h (not needed since we're
2064 using our own version now).
2066 2000-12-31 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
2068 * fsck.c (check_all): Call interpet_device to resolve LABEL= and
2069 UUID= right away so that the device_already_active() logic
2070 can do the right thing. Also cleaned up the the root
2071 filesystem logic checking code; fixed up a logic bug with
2072 the parallel_root option.
2074 * lsattr.1.in: Add pointer to chattr man page for definition of
2075 the file attributes.
2077 * lsattr.c (list_attributes): Minor cleanup to smooth out logic
2078 flow. Also removed static initialized variables to zero.
2080 * chattr.c (decode_arg, get_flag): Use a table-driven method for
2081 decoding the ext2 file flags character options. Add
2082 support for the journaled data flag.
2084 * chattr.1.in: Document the -j/+j/=j flag.
2086 2000-12-30 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
2088 * mke2fs.8.in: Minor clarity edit.
2090 * mke2fs.c (usage): Document the -j option.
2091 (main): Print the number blocks used in the journal.
2093 2000-12-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
2095 * base_device.c (base_device): Add support for DAC960 device
2098 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Handle the case where
2099 base_device doesn't know how to interpret the device name,
2100 instead of core dumping.
2102 2000-12-09 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
2104 * mke2fs.c (main, parse_journal_opts): Add support for creating V1
2105 superblocks. We now pass in a journal_flags field to the
2106 journal creation routines for this purpose.
2108 * mke2fs.c: Remove zero initializers to save a few bytes from the
2109 executable image. (Are we excited yet?)
2111 * findsuper.c: And non-subtle copyright licensing restriction to
2112 get Yann to remove this program from the Debian package. :-)
2114 2000-12-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
2116 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Change to use new version of
2117 base_device() which now returns dynamically allocated
2120 * base_device.c (base_device): New version moved from fsck.c which
2121 now understands ugly devfs names. (Debian bug #65181)
2123 * base_device.tst: Test case for base_device.c
2125 2000-12-02 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
2127 * fsck.8.in: Add clarification that filesystems with a fs_passno
2128 of 0 are skipped with the -A option. (Debian wishlist/bug
2131 * fsck.c (wait_one): When we let a new fsck take control of the
2132 console to display the progress bar, set FLAG_PROGRESS to
2133 so that fsck knows not to start new processes during an
2134 fsck pass with the progress bar. (Should fix debian bug
2137 * tune2fs.8.in: Add clarifying statement about converting user and
2138 group names to uid's before storing them in the
2139 superblock. (Debian bug #67446)
2141 2000-11-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
2143 * mke2fs.c(main): Expand the -j option so that it parses
2144 option=argument style options, and add support for
2145 creating filesystems with external journals.
2147 * mke2fs.8.in: Document new syntax for the -j option.
2149 2000-11-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
2151 * e2image.c, Makefile.in: New program which saves ext2 metadata to
2152 a file for people who need a last-ditch saving throw.
2154 2000-10-24 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
2156 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Applied Andreas Dilger's patch to make the -r -s
2157 handling a bit more sane. (Even though -s is deprecated
2160 * get_device_by_label.c: Apply fix from Erik Troan to support 16
2163 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Add a special case check for MD
2164 devices, so we don't try to check them in parallel with
2167 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main), mke2fs.8.in: Add support for the -j
2168 option, which builds an ext2/3 filesystem with an ext3
2171 2000-10-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
2173 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix really stupid typo which gcc 2.95
2176 2000-09-12 <tytso@valinux.com>
2178 * fsck.c: Add base device definitions for hd[e-h], for those
2179 systems with four IDE interfaces.
2181 2000-09-11 <tytso@valinux.com>
2183 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix error message printed when zap_sector
2186 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fixed format string bug when printing
2187 the inode table location in non-hex format.
2189 2000-08-20 <tytso@valinux.com>
2191 * get_device_by_label.c: Add call to ext2fs_find_block_device if
2192 we can't find the device using the name given by
2193 /proc/partitions. (This can happen if devfs is compiled
2194 into the kernel, but not mounted.)
2196 2000-06-27 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolabs.com>
2198 * dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option
2199 to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for
2200 location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors
2202 * mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict
2204 2000-08-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
2206 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general
2208 (main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to
2209 avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.
2211 2000-07-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
2213 * get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in
2214 fsck, and speed up fsck -a.
2216 2000-07-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
2218 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.19
2220 2000-07-13 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
2222 * badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options
2223 are mutually exclusive.
2225 * badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the
2226 block count must be specified if the starting block is to
2227 be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in
2230 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing
2231 variable before going into the write verification loop.
2232 This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block
2233 on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal
2234 while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The
2235 num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get
2236 clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no
2237 longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup
2240 * badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size).
2241 Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option
2242 to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing
2243 the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf
2246 2000-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
2248 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as
2249 fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of
2250 the progress bar display logic.
2252 * tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if
2253 max_mount_count is negative.
2255 * tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be
2256 negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a
2259 * fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation
2260 for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root
2261 privileges if the partitions need to be scanned.
2262 Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for
2263 removeable devices such as floppies if there are any
2264 LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab.
2266 * badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem
2267 is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive
2268 test. This can be overriden using the new -f option.
2270 * badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the
2271 blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly
2272 document the start-block parameter. Added documentation
2275 * badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be
2276 optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the
2277 device as a default.
2279 2000-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
2281 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that
2282 it's more obviously what's going on. Fixed a few
2283 potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the
2284 old, overly complicated logic.
2285 (flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and
2286 always forces a sync; this is required before it's really
2287 safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels.
2289 2000-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
2291 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
2292 filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
2293 size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
2294 argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.
2296 2000-05-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
2298 * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
2299 or LABEL= specification is given.
2301 * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
2302 the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
2303 (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
2304 to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
2305 that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
2306 feature for the forseeable future, either.)
2308 * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
2309 proceed_question that was busted due to the
2310 internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if
2311 proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
2312 cleared of the previous question's newline.
2314 Thu Apr 6 17:50:25 2000 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@signal.thunk.org>
2316 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't
2317 support fdatasync().
2319 2000-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
2321 * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
2322 uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
2323 manually define optarg and optind.
2325 * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
2328 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
2329 now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
2330 longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
2331 (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
2333 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
2334 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
2336 chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
2338 2000-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
2341 * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
2343 * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
2345 * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
2347 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
2348 blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
2350 * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
2351 Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
2352 #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
2353 file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
2356 * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
2357 The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
2358 Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.
2360 2000-02-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
2362 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
2363 fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
2364 mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
2365 uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
2366 suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
2368 * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
2369 Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
2370 removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
2371 clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
2372 code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
2373 was interrupted at the wrong time.)
2375 * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
2377 2000-02-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
2379 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
2380 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
2381 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
2382 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
2383 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
2385 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
2386 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
2388 * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h
2390 2000-01-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
2392 * tune2fs.c (usage): Update the usage message to correctly
2393 document the -s option.
2395 2000-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
2397 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
2398 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
2399 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
2400 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
2402 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
2403 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
2404 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
2405 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
2406 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
2407 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
2408 Finally, the original data is written back.
2410 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
2411 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
2412 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
2413 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
2414 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
2415 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
2416 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
2417 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
2418 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
2419 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
2420 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
2421 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
2422 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
2423 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
2424 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
2426 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
2427 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
2428 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
2431 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
2432 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
2434 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
2435 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
2436 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
2437 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
2438 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
2439 and want the host hard drive to flush.
2441 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
2442 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
2443 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
2444 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
2445 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
2446 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
2447 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
2448 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
2451 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
2452 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
2453 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
2454 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
2455 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
2456 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
2457 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
2458 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
2459 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
2460 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
2461 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
2462 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
2463 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
2464 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
2465 completely reliable.
2467 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
2468 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
2469 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
2470 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
2471 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
2472 for your information.
2474 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
2475 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
2476 which I install which will write back whatever original
2477 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
2478 (except SIGKILL, of course).
2480 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
2481 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
2482 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
2483 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
2484 could learn how to update the manpage and other
2485 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
2486 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
2487 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
2488 should be in the distribution."
2490 2000-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
2492 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
2493 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
2494 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
2496 1999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>
2498 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix man page so that the sparse_super filesystem
2499 option is properly named.
2501 1999-11-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
2503 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
2504 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
2505 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
2507 1999-11-19 <tytso@valinux.com>
2509 * Makefile.in (distclean): Remove TAGS and Makefile.in.old from
2510 the source directory.
2512 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
2514 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.18
2516 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
2518 * mke2fs.8.in: Update manual page so that the sparse_option
2519 filesystem option is properly named.
2521 1999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
2523 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
2524 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
2525 fsck -As can do so interactively.
2527 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
2529 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.17
2531 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
2533 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
2534 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
2535 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
2537 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
2538 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
2539 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
2540 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
2542 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
2543 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
2544 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
2547 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
2548 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
2549 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
2550 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
2553 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
2554 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
2556 1999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
2558 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
2560 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
2561 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
2562 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
2564 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
2565 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
2568 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
2570 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16
2572 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
2574 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
2575 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
2576 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
2577 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
2579 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
2580 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
2581 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
2582 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
2584 1999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>
2586 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
2587 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
2588 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
2589 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
2590 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
2592 1999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
2594 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
2595 changing the sparse superblock option
2597 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
2598 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
2599 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
2602 1999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
2604 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
2605 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
2607 1999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
2609 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
2612 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
2615 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
2616 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
2619 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
2622 1999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
2624 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
2627 1999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
2629 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
2631 1999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2633 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
2634 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
2635 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
2636 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
2637 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
2638 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
2639 the filesystem the system would make.
2641 1999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
2643 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
2644 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
2645 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
2646 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
2647 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
2649 1999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
2651 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
2652 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
2653 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
2655 1999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
2657 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
2658 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
2660 1999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
2662 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
2663 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
2664 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
2665 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
2666 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
2667 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
2669 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
2670 UUID=bar type specifications.
2672 1999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
2674 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
2675 clear out a large block number.
2677 1999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
2679 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
2680 appears mounted if the force option is given.
2682 1999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
2684 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
2685 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
2687 1999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2689 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
2692 1999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2694 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
2695 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
2696 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
2697 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
2699 1999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
2701 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
2704 1999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2706 * fsck.c (fsck_device, execute): Don't dereference a null pointer
2707 when checking a filesystem not in /etc/fstab.
2709 1999-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2711 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
2712 in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
2713 Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
2714 the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.
2716 1999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2718 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
2719 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
2720 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
2721 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
2722 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
2723 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
2725 1999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2727 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
2728 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
2729 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
2730 fsck pass structure.
2731 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
2732 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
2735 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2737 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.14
2739 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2741 * fsck.8.in: Clarified and expanded the documentation for the -A
2744 1999-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2746 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the pass number field is missing, it
2747 needs to be treated as zero.
2749 1999-01-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2751 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add -N option to allow the user to specify
2752 exactly how many inodes he/she wishes.
2754 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Only print the version information for the
2755 program if the -V option is given.
2757 * chattr.c: Ignore symbolic links when doing a recursive descent
2758 through a directory.
2760 1999-01-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2762 * fsck.c (load_fs_info, parse_fstab_line): Ignore fstab lines
2763 are commented out. Also allow blank lines in the
2765 (execute): In verbose mode, print the mountpount of the
2766 filesystem which we are checking (user request).
2768 1998-12-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2770 * mke2fs.c: Add definition of SCSI_BLK_MAJOR if not defined, for
2771 compatibility with Linux 1.2.13 header files.
2773 1998-12-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2775 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.13
2777 1998-12-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2779 * mke2fs.8.in: Fixed stupid typo ("Raid options are _comma_
2780 seperated", instead of common separated)
2782 1998-12-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2784 * Makefile.in: Updated dependencies.
2786 1998-11-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2788 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
2789 relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of
2790 allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.
2792 1998-11-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2794 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor display bug in the nroff.
2796 * mke2fs.c (show_stats, write_inode_tables): Use the log10
2797 function to calculate the display of block numbers so that
2798 things look nice on an 80 character display.
2800 1998-10-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2802 * mke2fs.c (usage): Add the sparse-super-flag to the usage
2805 1998-07-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2807 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.12
2809 1998-07-04 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2811 * findsuper.c (main): Print the block group number which is now
2812 being written by e2fsprogs.
2814 1998-06-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2816 * fsck.c (ignore): Remove unused variable cp.
2818 * chattr.c (fatal_error):
2819 * tune2fs.c (usage):
2821 * dumpe2fs.c (usage):
2822 * badblocks.c (usage): Remove volatile from declaration.
2824 * fsck.c: Change use of strdup to be string_copy, since we don't
2825 trust what glibc is doing with strdup. (Whatever it is,
2828 1998-06-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2830 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a -V option which prints the version number

2841 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
2842 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
2843 target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the
2844 cat directory in /usr/man/cat?.

2861 labels must be no longer than 16 characters, or they will
2864 * e2label.c (change_label), tune2fs.c (main): If the label is
2865 longer than 16 characters, print a warning message stating
2866 that the label will be truncated.
2868 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
2869 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
2870 warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.
2872 1998-03-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2874 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Fixed spelling typo in warning

2885 of badblocks is suitable for use with e2fsck -l or
2888 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Fix bug so that all groups with
2889 bad superblock backup blocks are printed (not just the
2892 Mon Dec 1 17:01:04 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2894 * badblocks.8.in: Add documentation for the -s option.
2896 Fri Oct 24 23:37:52 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

2903 * badblocks.c (main):
2904 * dumpe2fs.c (main):
2905 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the variable which getopt returns into be
2906 an int, so that it won't lose on platforms where char is
2909 Fri Oct 3 13:38:45 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2911 * mke2fs.c (parse_raid_opts): Make parse_raid_opts return a void,
2912 to fix a -Wall warning.
2914 Mon Sep 15 22:07:12 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2917 * mklost+found.c (main):
2919 * dumpe2fs.c (main):
2921 * badblocks.c (main): Declare main to return an int, as required.
2922 Make sure main always ends with an exit(0). (Some
2923 programs weren't doing this, and thus were returning a
2926 Mon Jul 14 15:27:29 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
2928 * e2label.c: New file contributed by Andries Brouwer which
2929 provides an easy-to-use interface to modify the filesystem
2932 * Makefile.in (SPROGS): Add Makefile support to build e2label

2938 Mon Jun 16 23:37:54 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2940 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Adjust the number of columns printed when
2941 displaying the superblock backups to avoid running over
2942 80 columns when making a really big disk.
2944 Thu May 8 22:22:08 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2946 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, fsck.8.in,
2947 mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor typos and grammer
2948 oops found by Bill Hawes (whawes@star.net).
2950 * mke2fs.c (test_disk): Pass the blocksize to the bad blocks
2951 command so that all of the filesystem gets tested in the
2952 case where the blocksize 2048 or 4096.
2954 Thu Apr 24 12:16:42 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>

2958 Thu Apr 24 09:52:47 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
2960 * mke2fs.c: Added new option -R, which specifies RAID options.
2961 Currently the only supported RAID option is "stride" which
2962 specifies the stripe width in RAID filesystem. This is
2963 used to aid in the placement of the inode and block
2966 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Added warnings that the sparse
2967 superblock option isn't yet supported by most kernels.
2969 Wed Apr 23 22:42:51 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
2971 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the default filesystem revision be 0, not
2972 1. (Since some people are still worried about 1.2.13
2975 Thu Apr 17 12:23:38 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2977 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.09
2979 Fri Apr 11 18:57:24 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

2998 * tune2fs.c (main): Implement the -s flag allows the user to
2999 set and reset the sparse superblock flag.
3001 * mke2fs.c (PRS): By default generate DYNAMIC revision
3002 filesystems. The -s flag controls whether or not the
3003 sparse superblock flag is set.
3004 (PRS): Change to allow the user to specify the true
3005 maximum number of blocks per group to reflect the
3008 Wed Mar 12 13:32:05 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
3010 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.07
3012 Thu Mar 6 17:15:05 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
3014 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Set the root directory's i_uid and
3015 i_gid to be the real user and group id.
3017 Tue Mar 4 10:14:33 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
3019 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add more intelligent error

3029 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Fixed bug in write_inode_tables
3030 where a loop variable was getting reused in a nested loop.
3031 This caused the inode table to not be correctly
3034 Thu Jan 2 00:00:37 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
3036 * lsattr.c, chattr.c: Include string.h, since we use memcpy().
3038 * findsuper.c: Use time_t for ctime(), not __u32.
3040 Sat Dec 28 23:39:18 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
3042 * badblocks.c: Adapted -vv modifications from Rik Faith so that

3073 current number of mounts.
3074 (main): Allow the interval to be specified in seconds,
3075 mostly for debugging.
3077 Tue Aug 27 17:27:43 1996 Miles Bader <miles@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3079 * Makefile.in (SMANPAGES): Use @FSCK_MAN@ instead of fsck.8.

3090 and fix sent by Charles Howes, chowes@eznet.ca)
3092 Fri Aug 9 11:52:42 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
3095 * tune2fs.c: Added support for the -L option which sets the volume
3096 label, the -M option which sets the last mounted
3097 directory, and the -U option which sets the filesystem UUID.
3100 * mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the
3101 creator OS. Generate a UUID for the filesystem, if
3102 applicable. Added support for the -L option which sets
3103 the volume label, and the -M option which sets the last
3106 Sat Jun 22 17:43:17 1996 Remy Card <card@bbj.linux.eu.org>
3108 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Integrated Michael Nonweiler's fix to
3109 avoid a segmentation fault when the "-v" option is used
3110 and no version number is specified.
3112 Thu May 16 11:12:30 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
3114 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.04
3116 Wed May 15 21:15:43 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
3118 * Makefile.in (fsck): fsck doesn't need to be linked with the ext2
3121 Wed Mar 27 00:33:40 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
3123 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.03
3125 Thu Mar 7 03:43:20 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
3127 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add (for development only) support to
3128 specify revision and inode size of the new filesystem.
3130 Tue Mar 5 03:51:35 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
3132 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix a few minor typo's in the man page.
3134 * mke2fs.c (reserve_inodes): Add support for dynamic first inode
3137 Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
3139 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
3140 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
3141 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
3142 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
3143 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
3144 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
3145 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
3146 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
3149 Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
3151 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.02
3153 Tue Oct 30 21:14:12 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
3155 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add check to warn user if they
3156 are trying to mke2fs the whole disk. (/dev/hda
3159 Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
3161 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
3162 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
3163 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
3164 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
3165 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
3167 Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
3169 * dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to
3172 Mon Oct 30 20:21:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
3174 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a
3175 stupid typo which caused coredumps in some cases.
3177 Thu Oct 26 12:05:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
3179 * Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed.
3181 Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
3183 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
3184 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
3185 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
3187 Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
3189 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
3192 Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
3194 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
3195 function to determine if the device is mounted.
3197 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
3198 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
3199 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
3200 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
3202 Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
3204 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
3205 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
3206 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
3209 Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
3218 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
3220 Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
3222 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
3223 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
3224 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
3227 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
3229 Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
3231 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
3232 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the
3233 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
3235 Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
3237 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
3238 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
3239 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
3240 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
3243 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
3244 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
3245 alloca is not portable!
3247 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
3248 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
3251 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
3253 Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
3255 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
3258 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
3260 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
3261 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
3263 Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
3265 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
3266 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
3268 Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
3270 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
3272 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
3273 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
3275 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
3277 Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3279 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
3280 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
3281 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
3282 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
3284 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
3285 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
3286 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
3287 statically sized buffer.
3288 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
3289 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
3291 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
3292 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
3293 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
3294 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
3295 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
3297 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
3298 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
3299 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
3300 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
3303 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
3304 support separate compilation directories.
3306 Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
3308 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
3309 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
3310 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
3311 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
3313 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
3314 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
3315 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
3316 very large partition.
3318 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
3319 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
3320 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
3322 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
3323 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
3324 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
3325 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
3326 ioctl, which most do.)
3328 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
3329 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
3330 during 0.5b development.)
3332 Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
3334 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
3335 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
3336 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
3337 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
3340 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
3341 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
3342 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
3344 Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
3346 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
3348 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
3349 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
3350 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.

3354 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
3356 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
3358 Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
3360 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
3361 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
3362 all partitions should be checked.
3364 Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
3366 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
3369 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
3372 Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
3374 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
3375 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.

3381 Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
3383 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
3386 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
3388 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
3390 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
3392 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.

3396 Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
3398 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
3399 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
3400 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
3401 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
3402 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
3404 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
3405 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
3406 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
3407 statistics if necessary.
