3 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): List the offsets of the inode and block
4 bitmaps, and the inode table. List the block boundaries
7 Sat Apr 5 11:55:52 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
9 * tune2fs.c (main): Implement the -s flag allows the user to
10 set and reset the sparse superblock flag.
12 * mke2fs.c (PRS): By default generate DYNAMIC revision
13 filesystems. The -s flag controls whether or not the
14 sparse superblock flag is set.
15 (PRS): Change to allow the user to specify the true
16 maximum number of blocks per group to reflect the

35 * fsck.c (main): Fix bug where the PATH environment variable isn't
38 Tue Jan 14 12:30:45 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
40 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Fixed bug in write_inode_tables
41 where a loop variable was getting reused in a nested loop.
42 This caused the inode table to not be correctly
45 Thu Jan 2 00:00:37 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
47 * lsattr.c, chattr.c: Include string.h, since we use memcpy().
49 * findsuper.c: Use time_t for ctime(), not __u32.
51 Sat Dec 28 23:39:18 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
53 * badblocks.c: Adapted -vv modifications from Rik Faith so that
54 they frequently update the block number field.

93 Thu Aug 22 00:51:44 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
95 * mke2fs.c (zap_bootblock): Don't do zap_bootblock on a
98 Tue Aug 20 00:15:46 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
100 * chattr.c (main): Fixed bug so that chattr -v works. (Bug report
101 and fix sent by Charles Howes, chowes@eznet.ca)
103 Fri Aug 9 11:52:42 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
106 * tune2fs.c: Added support for the -L option which sets the volume
107 label, the -M option which sets the last mounted
108 directory, and the -U option which sets the filesystem UUID.
111 * mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the
112 creator OS. Generate a UUID for the filesystem, if
113 applicable. Added support for the -L option which sets
114 the volume label, and the -M option which sets the last
117 Sat Jun 22 17:43:17 1996 Remy Card <card@bbj.linux.eu.org>
119 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Integrated Michael Nonweiler's fix to
120 avoid a segmentation fault when the "-v" option is used
121 and no version number is specified.
123 Thu May 16 11:12:30 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
125 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.04
127 Wed May 15 21:15:43 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
129 * Makefile.in (fsck): fsck doesn't need to be linked with the ext2
132 Wed Mar 27 00:33:40 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
134 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.03
136 Thu Mar 7 03:43:20 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
138 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add (for development only) support to
139 specify revision and inode size of the new filesystem.
141 Tue Mar 5 03:51:35 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
143 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix a few minor typo's in the man page.
145 * mke2fs.c (reserve_inodes): Add support for dynamic first inode
148 Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
150 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
151 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
152 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
153 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
154 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
155 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
156 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
157 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
160 Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
162 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.02
164 Tue Oct 30 21:14:12 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
166 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add check to warn user if they
167 are trying to mke2fs the whole disk. (/dev/hda
170 Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
172 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
173 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
174 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
175 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
176 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
178 Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
180 * dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to
183 Mon Oct 30 20:21:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
185 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a
186 stupid typo which caused coredumps in some cases.
188 Thu Oct 26 12:05:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
190 * Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed.
192 Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
194 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
195 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
196 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
198 Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
200 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
203 Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
205 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
206 function to determine if the device is mounted.
208 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
209 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
210 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
211 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
213 Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
215 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
216 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
217 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
220 Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
229 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
231 Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
233 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
234 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
235 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
238 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
240 Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
242 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
243 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the
244 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
246 Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
248 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
249 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
250 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
251 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
254 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
255 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
256 alloca is not portable!
258 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
259 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
262 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
264 Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
266 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
269 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
271 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
272 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
274 Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
276 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
277 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
279 Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
281 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
283 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
284 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
286 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
288 Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
290 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
291 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
292 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
293 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
295 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
296 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
297 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
298 statically sized buffer.
299 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
300 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
302 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
303 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
304 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
305 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
306 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
308 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
309 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
310 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
311 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
314 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
315 support separate compilation directories.
317 Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
319 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
320 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
321 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
322 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
324 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
325 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
326 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
327 very large partition.
329 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
330 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
331 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
333 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
334 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
335 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
336 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
337 ioctl, which most do.)
339 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
340 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
341 during 0.5b development.)
343 Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
345 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
346 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
347 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
348 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
351 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
352 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
353 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
355 Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
357 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
359 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
360 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
361 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
363 Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
365 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
367 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
369 Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
371 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
372 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
373 all partitions should be checked.
375 Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
377 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
380 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
383 Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
385 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
386 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
388 Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
390 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
392 Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
394 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
397 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
399 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
401 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
403 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
405 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
407 Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
409 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
410 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
411 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
412 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
413 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
415 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
416 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
417 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
418 statistics if necessary.
