3 * Makefile.in: Change to use new installation directory variables
4 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
5 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
6 target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the
7 cat directory in /usr/man/cat?.
9 1998-03-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
11 * e2label.8.in: New man page to document the e2label function.

29 that the label will be truncated.
31 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
32 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
33 warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.

62 * chattr.c: Remove #include of getopt.h, since it's not needed.
68 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the variable which getopt returns into be
69 an int, so that it won't lose on platforms where char is

80 * mklost+found.c (main):
84 * badblocks.c (main): Declare main to return an int, as required.
85 Make sure main always ends with an exit(0). (Some
86 programs weren't doing this, and thus were returning a
89 Mon Jul 14 15:27:29 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

101 Mon Jun 16 23:37:54 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
103 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Adjust the number of columns printed when
104 displaying the superblock backups to avoid running over
105 80 columns when making a really big disk.
107 Thu May 8 22:22:08 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
109 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, fsck.8.in,
110 mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor typos and grammer
111 oops found by Bill Hawes (whawes@star.net).
113 * mke2fs.c (test_disk): Pass the blocksize to the bad blocks
114 command so that all of the filesystem gets tested in the

121 Thu Apr 24 09:52:47 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
123 * mke2fs.c: Added new option -R, which specifies RAID options.
124 Currently the only supported RAID option is "stride" which
125 specifies the stripe width in RAID filesystem. This is
126 used to aid in the placement of the inode and block
129 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Added warnings that the sparse
130 superblock option isn't yet supported by most kernels.
132 Wed Apr 23 22:42:51 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
134 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the default filesystem revision be 0, not
135 1. (Since some people are still worried about 1.2.13

162 set and reset the sparse superblock flag.
164 * mke2fs.c (PRS): By default generate DYNAMIC revision
165 filesystems. The -s flag controls whether or not the
166 sparse superblock flag is set.
167 (PRS): Change to allow the user to specify the true
168 maximum number of blocks per group to reflect the
171 Wed Mar 12 13:32:05 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
173 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.07
175 Thu Mar 6 17:15:05 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
177 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Set the root directory's i_uid and

188 set when it is unset.
190 Tue Jan 14 12:30:45 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
192 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Fixed bug in write_inode_tables
193 where a loop variable was getting reused in a nested loop.
194 This caused the inode table to not be correctly
197 Thu Jan 2 00:00:37 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
199 * lsattr.c, chattr.c: Include string.h, since we use memcpy().

255 Fri Aug 9 11:52:42 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
258 * tune2fs.c: Added support for the -L option which sets the volume
259 label, the -M option which sets the last mounted
260 directory, and the -U option which sets the filesystem UUID.
263 * mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the
264 creator OS. Generate a UUID for the filesystem, if
265 applicable. Added support for the -L option which sets
266 the volume label, and the -M option which sets the last
269 Sat Jun 22 17:43:17 1996 Remy Card <card@bbj.linux.eu.org>
271 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Integrated Michael Nonweiler's fix to
272 avoid a segmentation fault when the "-v" option is used
273 and no version number is specified.

277 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.04
279 Wed May 15 21:15:43 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
281 * Makefile.in (fsck): fsck doesn't need to be linked with the ext2

286 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.03
288 Thu Mar 7 03:43:20 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
290 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add (for development only) support to
291 specify revision and inode size of the new filesystem.
293 Tue Mar 5 03:51:35 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
295 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix a few minor typo's in the man page.
297 * mke2fs.c (reserve_inodes): Add support for dynamic first inode
300 Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
302 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
303 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
304 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
305 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
306 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
307 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
308 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
309 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
312 Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
314 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.02
316 Tue Oct 30 21:14:12 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
318 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add check to warn user if they
319 are trying to mke2fs the whole disk. (/dev/hda
322 Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
324 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
325 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
326 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
327 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
328 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
330 Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
332 * dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to
335 Mon Oct 30 20:21:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
337 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a
338 stupid typo which caused coredumps in some cases.
340 Thu Oct 26 12:05:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
342 * Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed.
344 Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
346 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
347 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
348 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
350 Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
352 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
355 Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
357 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
358 function to determine if the device is mounted.
360 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
361 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
362 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
363 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
365 Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
367 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
368 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
369 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
372 Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
381 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
383 Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
385 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
386 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
387 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
390 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
392 Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
394 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
395 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the
396 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
398 Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
400 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
401 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
402 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
403 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
406 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
407 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
408 alloca is not portable!
410 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
411 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
414 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
416 Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
418 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
421 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
423 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
424 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
426 Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
428 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
429 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
431 Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
433 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
435 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
436 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
438 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
440 Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
442 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
443 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
444 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
445 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
447 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
448 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
449 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
450 statically sized buffer.
451 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
452 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
454 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
455 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
456 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
457 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
458 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
460 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
461 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
462 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
463 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
466 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
467 support separate compilation directories.
469 Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
471 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
472 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
473 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
474 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
476 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
477 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
478 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
479 very large partition.
481 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
482 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
483 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
485 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
486 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
487 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
488 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
489 ioctl, which most do.)
491 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
492 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
493 during 0.5b development.)
495 Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
497 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
498 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
499 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
500 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
503 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
504 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
505 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
507 Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
509 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
511 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
512 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
513 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
515 Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
517 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
519 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
521 Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
523 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
524 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
525 all partitions should be checked.
527 Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
529 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
532 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
535 Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
537 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
538 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
540 Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
542 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
544 Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
546 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
549 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
551 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
553 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
555 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
557 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
559 Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
561 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
562 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
563 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
564 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
565 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
567 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
568 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
569 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
570 statistics if necessary.
