35 2004-02-26 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
37 * filefrag.c: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
39 * badblocks.c (pattern_fill): Fix bug accidentally added when
40 fixing up gcc -Wall nits. badblocks -t random was not
41 getting handled properly because ~0 needed to be cast to
42 an unsigned long instead of an unsigned char. (Addresses
45 2004-02-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
47 * fsck.c (execute): Use '&&' instead of '&'. (It didn't cause a
48 problem because we got lucky, but let's do things right.
49 Fix from Thomas Woerner at Red Hat.)
51 2004-02-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
53 * filefrag.c: Use #ifdef __linux__ instead of __LINUX__ so that it
54 actually compiles on Linux. (Addresses Debian bug
57 2004-01-31 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
59 * chattr.1.in: Clarify man page.
61 * chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mklost+found.8.in,

96 util.c: Fix gcc -Wall nitpicks.
98 2003-09-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
100 * tune2fs.c (parse_e2label_options, parse_tune2fs_options,
101 do_findfs): Check the returned name from blkid_get_devname and
102 print an error if the requested LABEL/UUID does not exist.
104 2003-09-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
106 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Use ext2fs_super_and_bgd_loc to
107 determine the locations of the superblock and block group
110 2003-11-20 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
112 * util.c (check_plausibility): Support 2.6 kernel header files,
113 instead of having the build to crash. (Addresses Debian
116 2003-09-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
118 * mke2fs.c (progress_init, progress_update): If the environment
119 variable MKE2FS_SKIP_PROGRESS is set, then don't print out
120 a progress bar; for regression test support.
121 (PRS): If the environment variable MKE2FS_DEVICE_SECTSIZE
122 is set, then override the device sector size. Again for
123 regression test support.
124 (main): If the environment variable MKE2FS_SKIP_CHECK_MSG
125 is set, then skip printing an information messages about
126 when the filesystem will be checked, since this number is
127 random and screws up the regression test expect script.
129 2003-08-31 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
131 * mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults): Fix bug which caused -T largefile or
132 -T largefile4 to core dump due to a division by zero
133 error. (Addressed Debian bug #207082)
135 2003-08-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

142 2003-08-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
144 * badblocks.c (set_o_direct): Add check to make sure the file
145 offset of the device is page aligned. (Addresses Debian

150 boundaries. (Thanks to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for
153 2003-07-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
155 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.34
157 2003-07-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
159 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add warning if using -j and the blocksize is
160 greater than 4096, since some kernels don't support ext3
161 with large block sizes. (Addresses Debian bug #193773)
163 * badblocks.c (set_o_direct): Remove debugging printf. (Addresses
166 2003-07-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
168 * fsck.c (wait_many): Rename wait_all() to wait_many(), and have
169 new semantics: WAIT_ALL vs. WAIT_ATLEAST_ONE. This fixes
170 a bug where when fsck is waiting for another partition on
171 the same spindle, it spins wasting a lot of CPU.
173 2003-07-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
175 * badblocks.c (do_read, do_write, test_rw): Change the read/write
176 test to honor the -c option (number of blocks at a time).
177 do_read and do_write will try to turn on the O_DIRECT flag
178 if it appears that it is possible to use it. (Addresses
181 * mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults): If sector_size is 0, don't use it to
182 set the blocksize to zero. This causes MD devices to fail
183 since they don't support the BLKSSZGET ioctl. (Addresses
186 2003-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
188 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main): If CONFIG_TESTIO_DEBUG, then use the
191 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Round down the default filesystem size so that
192 it is an even multiple of the page size, to work around
193 buffer cache kernel bug.
195 * badblocks.c: Fix gcc -Wall nitpicks (signed/unsigned type issues)
197 * blkid.c: Fix gcc -Wall nitpicks (missing #include <string.h>)
199 2003-05-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
201 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): If the sector size of the
202 device is larger than the default block size, then use the
203 sector size of the device as the default block size.
205 2003-05-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
207 * badblocks.c: Use an unsigned integer to support 4-byte test
208 patterns with the high bit set. Let the user explicitly
209 specify a random pattern with the argument "random".
211 2003-05-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
213 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Fix minor memory leak with test_rw() is
214 called for multiple passes.
215 (test_nd): Fix bug in chosing randomness for the
216 non-destructive test. We were only using 1 bit of
217 randomness per byte instead of 8 due to a bit-shift bug.
218 Also, initialize the random number generator from the time
219 in main(). Thanks to Thayne Harbaugh for pointing out
222 * badblocks.c, badblocks.8.in: Functional enhancements contributed
223 by Thayne Harbaugh. These patches allow the -t option to
224 control the test pattern(s) used when checking the disk.
225 Test patterns may be specified in all modes (r/w, r/o and
228 2003-05-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
230 * tune2fs.c (main, add_journal_device, remove_journal_device): If
231 --enable-testio-debug is set, then use the test_io manager
232 so we can watch what tune2fs is doing.
234 2003-05-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
236 * uuidgen.c (main): Add setup functions for NLS support.
238 * e2image.c (write_header), mke2fs.c (PRS): Add missing space in
241 * badblocks.c (usage), findsuper.c (main), util.c
242 (parse_journal_opts): Fix typo in usage string.
244 * tune2fs.c (parse_time): Add portability code to work around lack
247 * Makefile.in: Add $(LIBINTL) to the link line so we can support
248 using the internal gettext library.
250 * nls-enable.h: Add #ifndef protection around LOCALEDIR definition.
252 2003-04-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
254 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.33
256 2003-04-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
258 * Makefile.in (uuidgen): Avoid linking lsattr and chattr against
259 libext2fs, and avoid linking blkid against any of the ext2
262 2003-04-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
264 * Makefile.in (fsck): Fsck does not need to linked against the
265 ext2 libraries anymore.
267 2003-04-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
269 * fsck.c (main): Put stdout and stderr into non-buffered mode to
270 avoid cosmetic problems when running fsck under logsave.
272 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Avoid printing the version banner for mke2fs if
273 the -q option is specified. (Addresses Debian bug #172716)
275 * logsave.c: Add support for the -a option (only partially
276 implemented previously). Always log the command-line and
277 start and stop time to the log file. Add support for the
278 -s option, which skips text bracketed between control-A
279 and control-B characters.
281 2003-04-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
283 * logsave.c: New program which saves the output of a command in a
284 log file, even if the containing directory hasn't been
285 mounted yet (in which case the it saves the output in
286 memory until it can write out the logfile).
288 2003-04-11 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
290 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the argument to -b is negative, treat it as a
291 minimum blocksize. (Feature requested by EVMS developers
292 for mainframe DASD's that do not support 1k blocksizes.)
294 * mke2fs.8.in: Document the -g option. (Addresses Debian bug #188318)
296 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug where mke2fs was incorrectly checking
297 the argument to the -g option, if the default block size
298 is used. (Addresses Debian bug #188319)
300 * tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Document the dir_index filesystem
301 feature which can be used with the -O option.
303 2003-04-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
305 * fsck.c (parse_fstab_line, interpret_type, fsck_device, ignore,
306 main): Don't evaluate the filesystem type when loading the
307 fstab file, since that might cause fsck to hang trying to
308 read from a floppy disk. (Addresses Debian bug #187812)
309 Add tmpfs and devpts to filesystems that should be
310 ignored, and add jfs, reseirfs, and xfs as filesystems
311 types where we should complain if we can't find the fsck
312 program for that filesystem type.
314 2003-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
316 * badblocks.c (bb_output): Flush output to the badblocks
317 output file as bad blocks are discovered.
319 2003-03-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
321 * chattr.1.in: Clarified the description of the 't' (no tail)
322 attribute. (Addresses Debian bug #185945)
324 2003-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
326 * fsck.c: And #ifdef protection around #include of malloc.h
328 2003-03-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

331 symbolic links in the raw image file.
333 2003-03-06 <tytso@mit.edu>
335 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options, parse_e2label_options): Allow
336 the device name to be specified using LABEL=xxx or
337 UUID=xxx, since we're including the blkid library anyway.
338 (Addresses Debian bugs #166048, #179671)
340 * tune2fs.8.in, chattr.1.in: Minor man page fixes (Addresses
341 Debian bugs #175233, #175113, and #170497)
343 2003-03-06 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
345 * Makefile.in (DEPLIBS_BLKID): Use DEPLIBUUID, not LIBUUID to
346 avoid depending on -lsocket on Solaris.
348 2003-03-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
350 * fsck.c, util.c, tune2fs.c, Makefile.in: Use the blkid library
351 instead of the specialized functions in
352 get-device-by-label.c and fstype.c.
354 * base_device.c (base_device): Take a const char* as an argument.
356 * blkid.c: Remove deprecated -d option,

379 * fsck.c (parse_fstab_line, parse_escape): Add support for
380 backslash escaping in /etc/fstab. (i.e., so that \040
383 2002-11-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
385 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Don't enable the dir_index feature by default;
386 the ext2 code on 2.4 kernels (but not 2.2 kernels, and not
387 the 2.4 ext3 code) accidentally had the backwards
388 compatibility support for dir_indexing removed.
390 2002-11-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
392 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.32
394 2002-11-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

410 hierarchies for the Orlov block allocator.
412 2002-10-31 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
414 * get_device_by_label.c (read_partitions): Pay attention to

428 erreoneously (and needlessly).
430 2002-10-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
432 * fsck.c (main): Fix bug reported by Gregory Mutt. Multiple
433 filesystems explicitly specified on the command line were
434 not being checked in parallel, due to a logic bug
435 introduced in to support the FSCK_MAX_INST environment
438 2002-10-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
440 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc, main): Make dumpe2fs more robust so that
441 if there is an error reading the block/inode bitmaps, it
442 will still print out the contents of the block group

455 default mount options.
457 2002-10-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
459 * get_device_by_label.c (read_partitions): Use a 16k buffer to

478 adds support for reiserfs volumes for LABEL= and UUID=
481 * badblocks.c (main): Appled sourceforge patch #600451, which
482 addresses sourceforge bug #600388, by AEF. This allows
483 badblocks to work correctly on read-only devices such as
484 CD-ROM's, DVD's, etc.
486 2002-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
488 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Clarify manual pages about using the
489 caret ('^') character to negate feature sets when using
490 the -O option. Define the has_journal feature to avoid
491 confusion about what ^has_journal means.
493 2001-09-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
495 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.29
497 2002-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
499 * fsck.c: If the bone-headed user enters the filename twice, the
500 -R option which skips the root filesystem will skip all of
501 them. (Addresses Debian bug #159423). Note! This is not
502 a precedent for dealing intelligently with any other kind
503 of doubled entry in /etc/fstab!
505 2002-09-22 root <tytso@mit.edu>
507 * mke2fs.c (main): Enable directory indexing by default.
509 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Allow directory indexing flag to

523 2002-08-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
525 * findfs.8.in: New man page.
527 * tune2fs.c (do_findfs): If tune2fs is executed with argv[0] set
528 to findfs, then it will interpret argv[1] as one of
529 LABEL=xxx or UUID=xxx and translate it to a device name.
531 * get_device_by_label.c (uuidcache_init): Moved code which
532 interpreted /proc/partitions into read_partitions(), and
533 then added support for interpreting /proc/evms/volumes in
534 read_evms(). uuidcache_init() calls both read_evms() and
537 * mke2fs.8.in: Add a common usage of the -n option. (Addresses
540 * fsck.c (main): If no filesystems are specified on the command
541 line, default to -As. (Addresses Debian Bug #153102)

544 test on a r/o mounted filesystem. (Addresses Debian Bug
547 * chattr.1.in: Document the compression attribute flags E, X, and
548 Z, and explain that chattr can't set or set these flags.
549 (Addresses Debian Bug #151990)

552 options specifiers for -t option. (Addresses Debian bug
555 * mke2fs.c (main): If there is a problem zeroing blocks at the end
556 of the filesystem, don't abort mke2fs. Addresses Debian
559 2002-08-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
561 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Check for an extended
562 attribute block before checking for has_valid_blocks.
564 2002-07-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
566 * fsck.8.in: Document new fsck exit code, FSCK_CANCELED.
568 * fsck.c: Trap SIGINT and SIGTERM, and relay it to all of the
569 child fsck processes.
571 2002-07-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
573 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Clear the buffer *after* testing for the
574 BSD sector label. Otherwise the first 512 bytes don't get
575 zapped. (Addresses Debian bug #147256.)
577 2002-07-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
579 * mke2fs.8.in: Cleaned up man page, and made it a bit more
580 OS-agnostic. Addresses Debian bug #144621. Hope this
581 makes the Hurd whiners happy. :-)

589 * chattr.c: Applied patch from Andrew to support the dirsync flag.
591 2002-05-22 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
593 * mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults): make the default inode ratio at most
594 one inode per block for large blocksizes.
596 2002-05-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
598 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Determine the page size using sysconf() at
599 runtime, instead of using the Linux system header files.
601 2002-05-16 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
603 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Allow blocksizes larger than 4k to be specified,
604 with warning printed and the user questioned if blocksize
605 is larger than the system's page size according to the
606 Linux kernel header files. Added better checking for
607 valid inode sizes, and again print a warning message if
608 using a large inode size (since most kernels today don't
611 2002-04-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
613 * fsck.8.in: Fix typo in man page.
615 2002-03-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
617 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.27
619 2002-03-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
621 * mke2fs.c: Check for the BSD disklabel on all architectures, and
622 also check the byte-swapped magic number as well.
624 2002-03-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
626 * mke2fs.c: Output warnings to stderr
627 (From Philipp Thomas <pthomas@suse.de>)
629 * base_device.c (main): Fix gcc -Wall complaints in debug code.
631 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Don't erase BSD disklabels on Alpha.
632 (From Thorsten Kukuk <kukuk@suse.de>)
634 2002-03-04 Philipp Thomas <pthomas@suse.de>
636 * chattr.c (main), fsck.c (main), mke2fs.c (main), findsuper.c
637 (main), dumpe2fs.c (main), lsattr.c (main), partinfo.c (main),
638 tune2fs.c (main), mklost+found.c (main), badblocks.c
639 (main), e2image.c (main): Newer libintl needs LC_CTYPE to
640 be set in addition to LC_MESSAGES.
642 2002-02-25 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
644 * mke2fs.c: Add check for mkfs.ext3 and create a journal in
647 2002-02-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
649 * Makefile.in (install): Install hard links for man pages for
650 mkfs.ext2 and mkfs.ext3. Also install hard link for
651 mkfs.ext3. Remove any compressed man pages before
652 installing the man pages.
654 2002-02-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
656 * badblocks.8.in: Clarify man page's description of the -f option
658 2002-02-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
660 * get_device_by_label.c: Since on non-STDC compilers, we define
661 away const, include get_device_by_label.h after we include
664 * Makefile.in (base_device): Remove use of $<, which is
667 2002-02-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
669 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.26
671 2002-02-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
673 * fsck.c (interpret_type): Allow filesystems types of the form
676 * fstype.c (identify_fs): Add support for only searching for a
677 specified list of filesystems. Also add support for
678 identifying reiserfs filesystems.
680 2002-01-29 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
682 * fsck.c: Allow the number of outstanding processes fs-specific
683 fsck programs to be capped via the FSCK_MAX_INST
684 envrionment variable.
686 * fsck.8.in: Document all of the environment variables used by fsck.
688 2002-01-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
690 * tune2fs.8.in: Document the -f flag to tune2fs.
692 2002-01-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
694 * badblocks.c (main): Open the device as O_RDWR if possible, since
695 fsync() isn't guaranteed to work if the filesystem is
698 2001-12-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
700 * tune2fs.8.in, tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options, main): Add
701 support for new option, -T, which allows the user to set
702 the last checked time on the filesystem.
704 2001-12-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
706 * mke2fs.c (main, test_disk): If two -c options are
707 specified, then perform a destructive read/write test
710 * mke2fs.8.in: Document the double -c option; also encourage users
711 to use -c instead of the -l/-L options since it's too hard
712 for users to get things like the blocksize parameter correct.
714 * badblocks.8.in: Encourage users to use the -c option in mke2fs
715 and e2fsck instead of running badblocks directly.
717 * mke2fs.c (create_lost_and_found): The lost+found directory is
718 now created with 0700 permissions, since files which get
719 dropped into that directory may have come from a protected
720 directory, and the system administrator may not deal with
721 immediately. (Addresses Debian bug #118443)
723 2001-12-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
725 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: Move linux/jbd.h to
726 ext2fs/kernel-jbd.h, to avoid using the system header
727 file version of hbd.h when using diet glibc (since it
728 forcibly adds /usr/include to the beginning of the
729 include search path.)
731 2001-12-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
733 * get_device_by_label.c (init_lvm): Add support to read out
734 information from the LVM proc hierarchy, so that the UUID
735 cache can search the LVM logical volumes for UUID's,
738 2001-12-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
740 * dumpe2fs.c (list_bad_blocks): Change to not die if the listing
741 of the bad blocks can't be found. Slimmed down dumpe2fs
742 by eliminating duplicate code paths.
744 2001-12-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
746 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc), fsck.c (fs_match),
747 get_device_by_label.c (get_label_uuid),

749 tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device, update_feature_set),
750 util.c (figure_journal_size), util.h: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
752 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Fix gcc -Wall nits, and use
753 the stashed inode functions to optimize away system calls.
755 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: linux/jfs.h has been renamed to
758 2001-12-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
760 * dumpe2fs.c: Don't print the offset to the bitmap and inode table
761 if it's negative. Also did some generalized code clean up
762 to slim it down the support of the -x option.
764 2001-11-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
766 * e2image.8.in: Fix cut-and-paste typo (Addresses Debian bug
769 2001-11-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
771 * util.c (check_plausibility): Use stat64 if available so that
772 check_plausibility() works with files > 2GB.
774 2001-11-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
776 * chattr.1.in: Update the man page to document the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL
779 * chattr.c: Add support for the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL flag.
781 * fsck.c (interpret_type): If the "auto" type is specified, make
782 sure interpet_device() is called so that device
783 specifications which use LABEL= or UUID= are translated
784 into a real device name.
786 2001-10-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
788 * e2image.c (output_meta_data_blocks): Optimize away excess
789 lseek() calls when creating a sparse file. Fewer system
790 calls are a good thing. <g>
792 2001-10-07 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
794 * mke2fs.c (main): Always exit with non-zero code in case of error.
796 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Check that buffer allocation succeeded.

800 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.25
802 2001-09-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
804 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_inode): Remove dead code that wasn't
807 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect the fact that adding or
808 removing a journal doesn't require running e2fsck.
810 2001-09-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
812 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Allocate sufficient space for
815 2001-09-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
817 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24a

825 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24
827 2001-08-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
829 * badblocks.8.in: Fix spelling typo. (Addresses Debian bug #110621)
831 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Now takes a third argument, which is how
832 many sectors to clear out. Fixed up Andreas's patch to
833 make it a bit more efficient/compact.
835 2001-08-30 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
837 * mke2fs.c (main): Zap the second sector of the disk, along with
838 any sectors in the same filesystem block after the superblock.
839 The latter will remove (for example) swapspace signatures
840 on 4kB+ blocksize filesystems. Also when zeroing the "end"
841 of the filesystem don't actually zero the start of a very
842 small device (less than 64 blocks).
844 2001-08-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
846 * fsck.c (main): Make version display consistent with the other
849 * lsattr.c, chattr.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c,
850 mklost+found.c: Remove EXT2FS_VERSION from the version
851 display, since it only confuses people.
853 2001-08-18 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
855 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): Remove unused variable
858 * get_device_by_label.h: Define function prototype for
859 copy_string(), since this was moved from fsck.c to
860 get_device_by_label.c by Andreas's BK changeset.
862 2001-08-17 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
864 * get_device_by_label.[ch], fsck.c, util.c: New interpret_spec()
865 function in get_device_by_label.c to allow the use of
866 UUID= or LABEL= when creating filesystems which use external
867 journal dev (e.g. mke2fs -J device=LABEL=<journal_label>).
869 * tune2fs.c: Use superblock s_journal_uuid to locate an external
870 journal device instead of s_journal_dev when removing it.
871 Allow opening journal devices to set the label and UUID
872 in the ext2 superblock.
874 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Free journal_device after use, as it is
875 malloc'd in interpret spec.
877 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
879 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.23
881 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
883 * tune2fs.c: Make sure that error messages are sent to stderr, and
884 normal messages are sent to stdout. (Addresses Debian bug
887 * fsck.8.in: Fixed error in synopsis of the man page.
889 * fsck.c (check_all): Don't bother to interpret a device where the
890 pass number is zero. (Addresses Debian bug #106696.)
891 (main): Print a warning message if there are no devices to
892 be checked. (Addresses Debian bug #107458.)
894 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Handle -O and -s options in line in the getopt
895 loop, so that -s and -O handling are a bit more intuitive.
896 (Not that they should be mixed anyway; -s is deprecated.)
898 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Give an error if -O is
899 specified more than once.
901 2001-08-10 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
903 * mke2fs.8.in: Slim down text describing the -O flag to remove
904 text that erroneously implied that all features
905 (including compatible flags) aren't compatible with older
908 2001-08-09 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
910 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug pointed out by Christopher Niessen; if
911 mke2fs -O none is specified, the sparse_super feature
912 should not be present.
914 * e2image.c, e2image.8.in: Add support for raw image files.
916 2001-08-04 Andreas Dilger <root@lynx.adilger.int>
918 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Put check for JOURNAL_DEV before sparse_option,
919 so we don't set the sparse superblock flag on journal devices.
921 2001-07-31 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
923 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, remove_journal_inode): If
924 removing an in-filesystem journal, clear out the journal
925 inode and update the filesystem accounting structures so
926 we don't have to run e2fsck to clean up after ourselves
928 2001-07-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
930 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Don't require a forced fsck if
931 we're removing an external journal from a filesystem.
933 2001-07-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
935 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the blocksize is not specified and the
936 journal device is specified, use it to determine the
937 blocksize of the new filesystem.
939 2001-07-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
941 * fsck.8.in: Add much more explicit language documenting how the
942 fs_passno field in /etc/fstab is handled. (Addresses
945 2001-07-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
947 * fstype.c (identify_fs): New file which looks at the superblock
948 of the filesystem to determines its type.
950 * fsck.c (fsck_device, ignore, interpret_type): Call identify_fs
951 if the type specified in /etc/fstab is "auto".
953 2001-06-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
955 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.22
957 2001-06-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>

961 2001-06-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
963 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Remove unneeded test in when creating a external
966 2001-06-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
968 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (print_check_message): Move
969 the message which displays how often the filesystem will
970 be checked from mke2fs into a utility subroutine. Then
971 cause tune2fs to call that function to display the message
972 after adding a journal to a filesystem.
974 * mke2fs.8.in: Add manual page fixups and explanation for why it's
975 good to check filesystems periodically from Andreas
978 * Makefile.in: Don't build e2image if --disable-imager is
979 specified to configure.
981 2001-06-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
983 * dumpe2fs.c: Use WORDS_BIGENDIAN to determine whether or not
984 we're (not) using i386 byte order.
986 * dumpe2fs.c, mke2fs.c: Stop using the compatibility badblocks
987 function, and use the ext2fs_badblocks_* functions
990 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fixed bug which can cause fsck
991 to core dump if there are a mix of devices with standard
992 and non-standard names. (Addresses Debian bug #100559)
994 2001-06-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
996 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Don't use _FILE_BITS_OFFSET method of using
997 the 64-bit function, since this changes the expected size
998 of struct dirent. Instead use lseek64 explicitly.
1000 2001-06-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1002 * Makefile.in: Move include/asm/types.h.in to
1003 lib/ext2fs/ext2_types.h.in.

1013 2001-05-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1015 * partinfo.c (main): Use unsigned long instead of long when
1016 querying the size of a device using the BLKGETSIZE ioctl,
1017 to remove the 1TB limit (and turn it into a 2TB limit :-)
1019 * fsck.c (compile_fs_type): Fix I18N compilation bug: use N_()
1020 instead of _() to initialize static variables.
1022 2001-05-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1024 * fsck.8.in, fsck.c (compile_fs_type, fs_type, ignore): Fix
1025 handling of -t option to be more intuitive. Also add
1026 support for the Mandrake -t loop hack. See man page
1027 for description of new -t semantics.
1029 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fix bug in
1030 device_already_active which could cause infinite loops if
1031 we don't know the base_device of the filesystem.
1033 * fsck.c: Make sure all exit status codes returned by fsck are
1034 consistent with the error codes documented in the fsck man
1037 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1039 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c, findsuper.c,
1040 lsattr.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c:

1046 2001-05-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
1048 * mke2fs.c: don't zap the superblock if we are running with noaction!
1049 Zap the end of the device to remove stale RAID superblocks.
1051 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1053 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Clean up some printf messages.
1055 * fsck.8.in, mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other
1056 clarifications suggested by Andreas Dilger.
1058 2001-05-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1060 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Integrated changes from Andreas Dilger which
1061 make the revision superblock field be set to the correct
1062 value depending on if superblock features are set.
1064 2001-05-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1066 * fsck.c (PRS): fsck -? now prints the usage message.

1082 passed to filesystem-specific checkers.
1084 * badblocks.8.in: Fixed man page to describe the first optional
1085 parameter to badblocks as last_block, instead of
1086 num_blocks. (Debian bug #87216)
1088 * badblocks.c: Change the blocks_count variable to be last_count,
1089 which is a more accurate description of the variable.
1091 2001-05-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1093 * e2image.8.in: New manual page
1095 * badblocks.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in mklost+found.8.in,

1097 http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net.
1099 * dumpe2fs.c (main): Add new flag, -i, which will allow dumpe2fs
1100 to dump out the filesystem statistics from an ext2 image
1103 * e2image.c (main): Fix format of e2image to be easier to be parse
1106 2001-05-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1108 * fsck.c (device_already_active): If we're not able to determine
1109 the base device, we should assume that the device is
1110 already active in order to force serialization.
1112 2001-04-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1114 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Interpret -c 0 as -c -1 (for
1115 backwards compatibility with older kernels). -c 0 makes
1116 more sense to users.
1118 2001-04-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1120 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): If the force flag is given,
1121 tune2fs will remove the journal device information from
1122 the superblock even if tune2fs failed to open the journal
1123 device or otherwise other failed to remove the filesystem
1124 from journal device.
1125 (parse_tune2fs_options): Fix -j option so that it works
1126 (it was missing the open_flag being set to EXT2_FLAG_RW).
1127 (main): Accept "-U clear" to set a null UID.
1129 2001-04-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1131 * mke2fs.8.in: Manual page cleanups. Temporarily comment out the
1132 documentation for the extern journal device support.
1134 * mke2fs.c (usage): Remove the deprecated -s option from the usage
1137 2001-04-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1139 * mke2fs.c (main): Add better explanation about when the
1140 filesystem will be checked after it is created.
1142 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Remove code which allowed a bare
1143 number to be treated as a journal size.
1145 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Add newlines to error messages so that they
1148 * mke2fs.c (create_journal_dev): Call
1149 ext2fs_create_journal_superblock() first, so if it's going
1150 to error out, the user finds out before waiting for the
1151 entire device to get zero'ed.
1153 2001-03-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1155 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Change man paegs to document that the
1156 journal must be bewteen 1024 and 102,400 file system
1159 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Change to use figure_journal_size()
1161 * util.c, util.h (figure_journal_size): Change
1162 journal_default_size into routine which also converts the
1163 requested journal size into filesystem blocks and does
1164 bounds checking to make sure the journal is sized
1165 reasonably. Renamed function to journal_default_size.
1166 (parse_journal_opts): Remove bounds check for the journal
1167 size, since this is now done in figure_journal_size, and
1168 based on the number of filesystem blocks, as opposed to
1169 using the absolute size of the journal.
1171 2001-02-17 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1173 * mke2fs.c (main): Flush out the "creating journal" message.
1174 Also handle the case where the default journal size
1175 returns zero blocks == no journal. Print out how often
1176 the filesystem will be checked.
1178 2001-02-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1180 * e2image.c (main): Add code to write the e2image header.
1182 2001-02-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1184 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect that 2.0.39 supports
1187 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix fencepost error when calculating the
1188 range of inode table blocks. Add '0x' to values printed
1191 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Define the _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE to force the
1192 use of the LFS so that lstat will work on large files.
1194 2001-01-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1196 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Change user
1197 interface so that -J is used to specify journal options,
1198 and -j is used to request creation of a journal using
1199 default values. (This is a UI change, but we haven't done
1200 a formal release, and it makes things much more consistent
1201 with the rest of the options out there.)
1203 * tune2fs.c: Add support for removing a filesystem from an
1204 external journal; we correctly remove the filesystem UUID
1205 from the external journal's filesystem list.
1207 * util.h, util.c (journal_default_size): New function from Andreas
1208 Dilger to calculate an appropriate default journal size
1209 given a filesystem size.
1211 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Allow the creation of a journal as
1214 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Use s_first_data_block
1215 to find the correct block to read the journal superblock.
1217 2001-01-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1219 * tune2fs.c: Changed the external journal code so that it simply
1220 adds a filesystem to a journal; the journal must have bene
1221 created via "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX".
1223 * mke2fs.c: Add support for creating an external journal device by
1224 using the command "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX". Also
1225 changed the external journal code so -j device=/dev/XXX it
1226 simply adds a filesystem to that journal; the journal must
1227 have been created via separate step.
1229 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Add support for dumping
1230 information about an external journal device.
1232 2001-01-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1234 * mke2fs.c: Add new filesystem types, largefile and largefile4,
1235 for those filesystems whose average inode size is 1MB and
1236 4MB, respectively. Allow the inode ratio specified to be
1237 has high as 4MB. Make the s_max_mount_count vary between
1238 20 and 40, to avoid needing to check all of the
1239 filesystems at the same time. Add some random jitter to
1240 the s_max_mount_count value so that we avoid checking all
1241 of the filesystems at the same time when we reboot.
1243 * tune2fs.8.in: Add description of the -j option.
1245 * tune2fs.c (add_journal): Minor fixes from Andreas Dilger. Flush
1246 stdout after printing in-progress message.
1247 (main): Exit with status code 1 if we failed to determine
1248 the mount status of the device.
1250 2001-01-11 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1252 * e2image.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c,
1253 uuidgen.c: Fix gcc -Wall complaints, including one bug in
1254 tune2fs caused by a block automatic shadowing version of
1255 the variable we really wanted to use, which broke the
1256 logic testing to see if the filesystem was mounted.
1258 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use ext2fs_sync_device() to sync and
1261 * mke2fs.c: Change ino_t to ext2_ino_t.
1263 2001-01-08 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1265 * Makefile.in, tune2fs.c: Move e2label functionality into tune2fs,
1266 using argv[0] as a dispatch. This allows e2label to be
1267 (more) safely used on mounted filesystems.
1269 2001-01-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1271 * get_device_by_label.h (get_volume_label_by_spec): Add function
1274 * get_device_by_label.c: Use string_copy() instead of strdup() for
1275 portability's sake. Fix a few other gcc -Wall
1278 * fsck.c (string_copy): Export string_copy() extern.
1280 * badblocks.c: Fix various gcc -Wall complaints, including
1281 an incorrect reference to sync in flush_bufs().
1283 2001-01-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1285 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, add_journal): Moved to separate
1286 functions. Added ability to add and remove the journal
1287 while the filesystem is live. Added support for setting
1288 a time-based UUID. Removed zero-initialized static variables.
1290 * mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (strcasecmp, proceed_question,
1291 check_plausibility, parse_journal_opts, check_mount):
1292 Moved functions to util.c so they can be used by tune2fs.
1294 * mke2fs.c (main): Change ext2fs_add_journal_fs() to
1295 ext2fs_add_journal_inode() to reflect function renaming.
1297 2001-01-01 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1299 * mke2fs.c, e2image.c: Removed references to struct ext2fs_sb to
1300 struct ext2_super_block.
1302 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support to allow HAS_JOURNAL flag to be
1303 cleared, but only if the filesystem is unmounted or
1304 mounted read-only. Changed struct ext2fs_sb to struct
1305 ext2_super_block, and cleaned up old code which was needed
1306 for old versions of ext2_fs.h (not needed since we're
1307 using our own version now).
1309 2000-12-31 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1311 * fsck.c (check_all): Call interpet_device to resolve LABEL= and
1312 UUID= right away so that the device_already_active() logic
1313 can do the right thing. Also cleaned up the the root
1314 filesystem logic checking code; fixed up a logic bug with
1315 the parallel_root option.
1317 * lsattr.1.in: Add pointer to chattr man page for definition of
1318 the file attributes.
1320 * lsattr.c (list_attributes): Minor cleanup to smooth out logic
1321 flow. Also removed static initialized variables to zero.
1323 * chattr.c (decode_arg, get_flag): Use a table-driven method for
1324 decoding the ext2 file flags character options. Add
1325 support for the journaled data flag.
1327 * chattr.1.in: Document the -j/+j/=j flag.
1329 2000-12-30 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1331 * mke2fs.8.in: Minor clarity edit.
1333 * mke2fs.c (usage): Document the -j option.
1334 (main): Print the number blocks used in the journal.
1336 2000-12-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1338 * base_device.c (base_device): Add support for DAC960 device
1341 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Handle the case where
1342 base_device doesn't know how to interpret the device name,
1343 instead of core dumping.
1345 2000-12-09 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1347 * mke2fs.c (main, parse_journal_opts): Add support for creating V1
1348 superblocks. We now pass in a journal_flags field to the
1349 journal creation routines for this purpose.
1351 * mke2fs.c: Remove zero initializers to save a few bytes from the
1352 executable image. (Are we excited yet?)
1354 * findsuper.c: And non-subtle copyright licensing restriction to
1355 get Yann to remove this program from the Debian package. :-)
1357 2000-12-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1359 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Change to use new version of
1360 base_device() which now returns dynamically allocated
1363 * base_device.c (base_device): New version moved from fsck.c which
1364 now understands ugly devfs names. (Debian bug #65181)
1366 * base_device.tst: Test case for base_device.c
1368 2000-12-02 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1370 * fsck.8.in: Add clarification that filesystems with a fs_passno
1371 of 0 are skipped with the -A option. (Debian wishlist/bug
1374 * fsck.c (wait_one): When we let a new fsck take control of the
1375 console to display the progress bar, set FLAG_PROGRESS to
1376 so that fsck knows not to start new processes during an
1377 fsck pass with the progress bar. (Should fix debian bug
1380 * tune2fs.8.in: Add clarifying statement about converting user and
1381 group names to uid's before storing them in the
1382 superblock. (Debian bug #67446)
1384 2000-11-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1386 * mke2fs.c(main): Expand the -j option so that it parses
1387 option=argument style options, and add support for
1388 creating filesystems with external journals.
1390 * mke2fs.8.in: Document new syntax for the -j option.
1392 2000-11-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1394 * e2image.c, Makefile.in: New program which saves ext2 metadata to
1395 a file for people who need a last-ditch saving throw.
1397 2000-10-24 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1399 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Applied Andreas Dilger's patch to make the -r -s
1400 handling a bit more sane. (Even though -s is deprecated
1403 * get_device_by_label.c: Apply fix from Erik Troan to support 16
1406 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Add a special case check for MD
1407 devices, so we don't try to check them in parallel with
1410 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main), mke2fs.8.in: Add support for the -j
1411 option, which builds an ext2/3 filesystem with an ext3
1414 2000-10-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
1416 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix really stupid typo which gcc 2.95
1419 2000-09-12 <tytso@valinux.com>
1421 * fsck.c: Add base device definitions for hd[e-h], for those
1422 systems with four IDE interfaces.
1424 2000-09-11 <tytso@valinux.com>
1426 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix error message printed when zap_sector
1429 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fixed format string bug when printing
1430 the inode table location in non-hex format.
1432 2000-08-20 <tytso@valinux.com>
1434 * get_device_by_label.c: Add call to ext2fs_find_block_device if
1435 we can't find the device using the name given by
1436 /proc/partitions. (This can happen if devfs is compiled
1437 into the kernel, but not mounted.)
1439 2000-06-27 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolabs.com>
1441 * dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option
1442 to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for
1443 location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors
1445 * mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict
1447 2000-08-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
1449 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general
1451 (main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to
1452 avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.
1454 2000-07-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1456 * get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in
1457 fsck, and speed up fsck -a.
1459 2000-07-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
1461 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.19
1463 2000-07-13 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1465 * badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options
1466 are mutually exclusive.
1468 * badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the
1469 block count must be specified if the starting block is to
1470 be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in
1473 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing
1474 variable before going into the write verification loop.
1475 This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block
1476 on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal
1477 while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The
1478 num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get
1479 clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no
1480 longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup
1483 * badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size).
1484 Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option
1485 to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing
1486 the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf
1489 2000-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1491 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as
1492 fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of
1493 the progress bar display logic.
1495 * tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if
1496 max_mount_count is negative.
1498 * tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be
1499 negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a
1502 * fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation
1503 for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root
1504 privileges if the partitions need to be scanned.
1505 Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for
1506 removeable devices such as floppies if there are any
1507 LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab.
1509 * badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem
1510 is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive
1511 test. This can be overriden using the new -f option.
1513 * badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the
1514 blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly
1515 document the start-block parameter. Added documentation
1518 * badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be
1519 optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the
1520 device as a default.
1522 2000-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1524 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that
1525 it's more obviously what's going on. Fixed a few
1526 potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the
1527 old, overly complicated logic.
1528 (flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and
1529 always forces a sync; this is required before it's really
1530 safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels.
1532 2000-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1534 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
1535 filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
1536 size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
1537 argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.
1539 2000-05-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1541 * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
1542 or LABEL= specification is given.
1544 * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
1545 the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
1546 (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
1547 to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
1548 that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
1549 feature for the forseeable future, either.)
1551 * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
1552 proceed_question that was busted due to the
1553 internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if
1554 proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
1555 cleared of the previous question's newline.
1557 Thu Apr 6 17:50:25 2000 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@signal.thunk.org>
1559 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't
1560 support fdatasync().
1562 2000-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1564 * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
1565 uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
1566 manually define optarg and optind.
1568 * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
1571 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
1572 now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
1573 longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
1574 (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
1576 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
1577 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
1579 chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
1581 2000-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1584 * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
1586 * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
1588 * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
1590 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
1591 blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
1593 * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
1594 Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
1595 #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
1596 file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
1599 * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
1600 The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
1601 Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.
1603 2000-02-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1605 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
1606 fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1607 mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
1608 uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
1609 suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
1611 * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
1612 Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
1613 removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
1614 clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
1615 code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
1616 was interrupted at the wrong time.)
1618 * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
1620 2000-02-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1622 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
1623 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
1624 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
1625 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
1626 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
1628 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
1629 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
1631 * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h
1633 2000-01-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1635 * tune2fs.c (usage): Update the usage message to correctly
1636 document the -s option.
1638 2000-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1640 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
1641 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
1642 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
1643 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
1645 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
1646 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
1647 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
1648 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
1649 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
1650 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
1651 Finally, the original data is written back.
1653 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
1654 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
1655 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
1656 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
1657 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
1658 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
1659 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
1660 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
1661 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
1662 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
1663 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
1664 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
1665 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
1666 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
1667 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
1669 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
1670 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
1671 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
1674 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
1675 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
1677 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
1678 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
1679 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
1680 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
1681 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
1682 and want the host hard drive to flush.
1684 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
1685 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
1686 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
1687 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
1688 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
1689 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
1690 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
1691 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
1694 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
1695 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
1696 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
1697 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
1698 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
1699 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
1700 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
1701 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
1702 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
1703 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
1704 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
1705 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
1706 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
1707 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
1708 completely reliable.
1710 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
1711 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
1712 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
1713 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
1714 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
1715 for your information.
1717 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
1718 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
1719 which I install which will write back whatever original
1720 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
1721 (except SIGKILL, of course).
1723 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
1724 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
1725 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
1726 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
1727 could learn how to update the manpage and other
1728 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
1729 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
1730 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
1731 should be in the distribution."
1733 2000-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1735 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
1736 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
1737 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
1739 1999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>
1741 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix man page so that the sparse_super filesystem
1742 option is properly named.
1744 1999-11-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1746 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
1747 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
1748 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
1750 1999-11-19 <tytso@valinux.com>
1752 * Makefile.in (distclean): Remove TAGS and Makefile.in.old from
1753 the source directory.
1755 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1757 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.18
1759 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1761 * mke2fs.8.in: Update manual page so that the sparse_option
1762 filesystem option is properly named.
1764 1999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
1766 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
1767 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
1768 fsck -As can do so interactively.
1770 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1772 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.17
1774 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1776 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
1777 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
1778 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
1780 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
1781 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
1782 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
1783 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
1785 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
1786 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
1787 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
1790 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
1791 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
1792 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
1793 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
1796 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
1797 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
1799 1999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
1801 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
1803 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
1804 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
1805 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
1807 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
1808 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
1811 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1813 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16
1815 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1817 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
1818 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
1819 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
1820 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
1822 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
1823 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
1824 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
1825 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
1827 1999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>
1829 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
1830 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
1831 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
1832 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
1833 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
1835 1999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
1837 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
1838 changing the sparse superblock option
1840 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
1841 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
1842 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
1845 1999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
1847 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
1848 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
1850 1999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1852 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
1855 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
1858 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
1859 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
1862 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
1865 1999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
1867 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
1870 1999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1872 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
1874 1999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1876 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
1877 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
1878 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
1879 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
1880 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
1881 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
1882 the filesystem the system would make.
1884 1999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
1886 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
1887 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
1888 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
1889 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
1890 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
1892 1999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1894 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
1895 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
1896 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
1898 1999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
1900 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
1901 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
1903 1999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
1905 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
1906 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
1907 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
1908 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
1909 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
1910 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
1912 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
1913 UUID=bar type specifications.
1915 1999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
1917 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
1918 clear out a large block number.
1920 1999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
1922 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
1923 appears mounted if the force option is given.
1925 1999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
1927 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
1928 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
1930 1999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1932 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
1935 1999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1937 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
1938 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
1939 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
1940 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
1942 1999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
1944 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
1947 1999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1949 * fsck.c (fsck_device, execute): Don't dereference a null pointer
1950 when checking a filesystem not in /etc/fstab.
1952 1999-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1954 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
1955 in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
1956 Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
1957 the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.
1959 1999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1961 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
1962 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
1963 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
1964 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
1965 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
1966 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
1968 1999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1970 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
1971 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
1972 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
1973 fsck pass structure.
1974 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
1975 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
1978 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1980 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.14
1982 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1987 1999-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1989 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the pass number field is missing, it
1990 needs to be treated as zero.
1992 1999-01-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1994 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add -N option to allow the user to specify
1995 exactly how many inodes he/she wishes.
1997 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Only print the version information for the
1998 program if the -V option is given.
2000 * chattr.c: Ignore symbolic links when doing a recursive descent
2001 through a directory.
2003 1999-01-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2005 * fsck.c (load_fs_info, parse_fstab_line): Ignore fstab lines
2006 are commented out. Also allow blank lines in the
2008 (execute): In verbose mode, print the mountpount of the
2009 filesystem which we are checking (user request).
2011 1998-12-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2013 * mke2fs.c: Add definition of SCSI_BLK_MAJOR if not defined, for
2014 compatibility with Linux 1.2.13 header files.
2016 1998-12-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2018 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.13
2020 1998-12-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2022 * mke2fs.8.in: Fixed stupid typo ("Raid options are _comma_
2023 seperated", instead of common separated)
2025 1998-12-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2027 * Makefile.in: Updated dependencies.
2029 1998-11-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2031 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
2032 relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of
2033 allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.
2035 1998-11-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2037 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor display bug in the nroff.
2039 * mke2fs.c (show_stats, write_inode_tables): Use the log10
2040 function to calculate the display of block numbers so that
2041 things look nice on an 80 character display.
2043 1998-10-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2045 * mke2fs.c (usage): Add the sparse-super-flag to the usage

2050 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.12
2052 1998-07-04 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2054 * findsuper.c (main): Print the block group number which is now
2055 being written by e2fsprogs.
2057 1998-06-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2059 * fsck.c (ignore): Remove unused variable cp.
2061 * chattr.c (fatal_error):
2062 * tune2fs.c (usage):
2064 * dumpe2fs.c (usage):
2065 * badblocks.c (usage): Remove volatile from declaration.
2067 * fsck.c: Change use of strdup to be string_copy, since we don't
2068 trust what glibc is doing with strdup. (Whatever it is,
2071 1998-06-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2073 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a -V option which prints the version number
2076 1998-05-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2078 * fsck.c (ignore): Remove check for filesystems with the noauto
2081 1998-03-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2083 * Makefile.in: Change to use new installation directory variables
2084 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
2085 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
2086 target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the
2087 cat directory in /usr/man/cat?.
2089 1998-03-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2091 * e2label.8.in: New man page to document the e2label function.

2095 1998-03-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2097 * chattr.1.in: Document that the append-only attribute may
2098 only be set or cleared by the superuser.
2100 * Update all manual pages to that the availability section is
2103 * e2label.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to state that
2104 labels must be no longer than 16 characters, or they will
2107 * e2label.c (change_label), tune2fs.c (main): If the label is
2108 longer than 16 characters, print a warning message stating
2109 that the label will be truncated.
2111 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
2112 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
2113 warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.
2115 1998-03-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2117 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Fixed spelling typo in warning
2118 message. Fixed up -Wall warnings in file.

2146 * badblocks.c (main):
2147 * dumpe2fs.c (main):
2148 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the variable which getopt returns into be
2149 an int, so that it won't lose on platforms where char is
2152 Fri Oct 3 13:38:45 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2154 * mke2fs.c (parse_raid_opts): Make parse_raid_opts return a void,
2155 to fix a -Wall warning.
2157 Mon Sep 15 22:07:12 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2160 * mklost+found.c (main):
2162 * dumpe2fs.c (main):
2164 * badblocks.c (main): Declare main to return an int, as required.
2165 Make sure main always ends with an exit(0). (Some
2166 programs weren't doing this, and thus were returning a
2169 Mon Jul 14 15:27:29 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
2171 * e2label.c: New file contributed by Andries Brouwer which
2172 provides an easy-to-use interface to modify the filesystem
2175 * Makefile.in (SPROGS): Add Makefile support to build e2label
2177 Tue Jun 17 01:33:20 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2179 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.11
2181 Mon Jun 16 23:37:54 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2183 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Adjust the number of columns printed when
2184 displaying the superblock backups to avoid running over
2185 80 columns when making a really big disk.
2187 Thu May 8 22:22:08 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2189 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, fsck.8.in,
2190 mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor typos and grammer
2191 oops found by Bill Hawes (whawes@star.net).
2193 * mke2fs.c (test_disk): Pass the blocksize to the bad blocks
2194 command so that all of the filesystem gets tested in the
2195 case where the blocksize 2048 or 4096.
2197 Thu Apr 24 12:16:42 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
2199 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.10
2201 Thu Apr 24 09:52:47 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
2203 * mke2fs.c: Added new option -R, which specifies RAID options.
2204 Currently the only supported RAID option is "stride" which
2205 specifies the stripe width in RAID filesystem. This is
2206 used to aid in the placement of the inode and block
2209 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Added warnings that the sparse
2210 superblock option isn't yet supported by most kernels.
2212 Wed Apr 23 22:42:51 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
2214 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the default filesystem revision be 0, not
2215 1. (Since some people are still worried about 1.2.13
2218 Thu Apr 17 12:23:38 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2220 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.09
2222 Fri Apr 11 18:57:24 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2224 * chattr.1.in: Updated man page so that the 'A' attribute is
2225 specified everywhere.
2227 * chattr.c (usage): Added usage message for the 'A' attribute.
2229 Fri Apr 11 18:56:26 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2231 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.08
2233 Thu Apr 10 07:08:03 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2235 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): List the offsets of the inode and block
2236 bitmaps, and the inode table. List the block boundaries
2239 Sat Apr 5 11:55:52 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2241 * tune2fs.c (main): Implement the -s flag allows the user to
2242 set and reset the sparse superblock flag.
2244 * mke2fs.c (PRS): By default generate DYNAMIC revision
2245 filesystems. The -s flag controls whether or not the
2246 sparse superblock flag is set.
2247 (PRS): Change to allow the user to specify the true
2248 maximum number of blocks per group to reflect the
2251 Wed Mar 12 13:32:05 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
2253 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.07
2255 Thu Mar 6 17:15:05 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2257 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Set the root directory's i_uid and
2258 i_gid to be the real user and group id.
2260 Tue Mar 4 10:14:33 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2262 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add more intelligent error

2265 Sat Mar 1 10:43:32 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2267 * fsck.c (main): Fix bug where the PATH environment variable isn't
2268 set when it is unset.
2270 Tue Jan 14 12:30:45 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2272 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Fixed bug in write_inode_tables
2273 where a loop variable was getting reused in a nested loop.
2274 This caused the inode table to not be correctly
2277 Thu Jan 2 00:00:37 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2279 * lsattr.c, chattr.c: Include string.h, since we use memcpy().
2281 * findsuper.c: Use time_t for ctime(), not __u32.
2283 Sat Dec 28 23:39:18 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2285 * badblocks.c: Adapted -vv modifications from Rik Faith so that
2286 they frequently update the block number field.
2288 * badblocks.8.in: Document the optional start-block parameter
2290 Mon Oct 14 11:52:58 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2292 * mke2fs.c: Updated to use new ext2fs_allocate_tables() function.

2302 * dumpe2fs.c (main): Change EXT2_SWAP to EXT2_FLAG_SWAP for
2305 Sun Sep 22 16:18:47 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2307 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Add support for the 'A' (noatime) flag.

2313 Sat Sep 7 07:34:11 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2315 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support for new option -C, which sets the
2316 current number of mounts.
2317 (main): Allow the interval to be specified in seconds,
2318 mostly for debugging.
2320 Tue Aug 27 17:27:43 1996 Miles Bader <miles@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2322 * Makefile.in (SMANPAGES): Use @FSCK_MAN@ instead of fsck.8.
2323 (SPROGS): Use @FSCK_PROG@ instead of fsck.
2325 Thu Aug 22 00:51:44 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2327 * mke2fs.c (zap_bootblock): Don't do zap_bootblock on a
2330 Tue Aug 20 00:15:46 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2332 * chattr.c (main): Fixed bug so that chattr -v works. (Bug report
2333 and fix sent by Charles Howes, chowes@eznet.ca)
2335 Fri Aug 9 11:52:42 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2338 * tune2fs.c: Added support for the -L option which sets the volume
2339 label, the -M option which sets the last mounted
2340 directory, and the -U option which sets the filesystem UUID.
2343 * mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the
2344 creator OS. Generate a UUID for the filesystem, if
2345 applicable. Added support for the -L option which sets
2346 the volume label, and the -M option which sets the last
2349 Sat Jun 22 17:43:17 1996 Remy Card <card@bbj.linux.eu.org>
2351 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Integrated Michael Nonweiler's fix to
2352 avoid a segmentation fault when the "-v" option is used
2353 and no version number is specified.
2355 Thu May 16 11:12:30 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2357 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.04
2359 Wed May 15 21:15:43 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2361 * Makefile.in (fsck): fsck doesn't need to be linked with the ext2
2364 Wed Mar 27 00:33:40 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2366 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.03
2368 Thu Mar 7 03:43:20 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2370 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add (for development only) support to
2371 specify revision and inode size of the new filesystem.
2373 Tue Mar 5 03:51:35 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2375 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix a few minor typo's in the man page.
2377 * mke2fs.c (reserve_inodes): Add support for dynamic first inode
2380 Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2382 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
2383 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
2384 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
2385 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
2386 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
2387 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
2388 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
2389 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
2392 Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2394 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.02
2396 Tue Oct 30 21:14:12 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2398 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add check to warn user if they
2399 are trying to mke2fs the whole disk. (/dev/hda
2402 Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2404 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
2405 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
2406 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
2407 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
2408 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
2410 Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2412 * dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to
2415 Mon Oct 30 20:21:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2417 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a
2418 stupid typo which caused coredumps in some cases.
2420 Thu Oct 26 12:05:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2422 * Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed.
2424 Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
2426 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
2427 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
2428 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
2430 Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2432 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
2435 Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2437 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
2438 function to determine if the device is mounted.
2440 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
2441 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
2442 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
2443 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
2445 Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2447 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
2448 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
2449 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
2452 Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2461 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
2463 Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2465 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
2466 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
2467 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
2470 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
2472 Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
2474 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
2475 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the
2476 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
2478 Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2480 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
2481 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
2482 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
2483 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
2486 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
2487 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
2488 alloca is not portable!
2490 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
2491 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
2494 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
2496 Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
2498 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
2501 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
2503 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
2504 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
2506 Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
2508 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
2509 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
2511 Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2513 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
2515 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
2516 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
2518 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
2520 Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2522 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
2523 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
2524 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
2525 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
2527 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
2528 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
2529 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
2530 statically sized buffer.
2531 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
2532 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
2534 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
2535 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
2536 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
2537 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
2538 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
2540 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
2541 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
2542 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
2543 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
2546 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
2547 support separate compilation directories.
2549 Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
2551 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
2552 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
2553 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
2554 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
2556 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
2557 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
2558 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
2559 very large partition.
2561 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
2562 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
2563 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
2565 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
2566 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
2567 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
2568 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
2569 ioctl, which most do.)
2571 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
2572 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
2573 during 0.5b development.)
2575 Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
2577 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
2578 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
2579 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
2580 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
2583 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
2584 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
2585 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
2587 Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
2589 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
2591 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
2592 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
2593 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
2595 Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2597 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
2599 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
2601 Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
2603 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
2604 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
2605 all partitions should be checked.
2607 Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
2609 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
2612 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
2615 Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2617 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
2618 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
2620 Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2622 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
2624 Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
2626 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
2629 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
2631 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
2633 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
2635 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
2637 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
2639 Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2641 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
2642 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
2643 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
2644 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
2645 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
2647 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
2648 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
2649 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
2650 statistics if necessary.
