1 2001-08-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
3 * badblocks.8.in: Fix spelling typo. (Addresses Debian bug #110621)
5 2001-08-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
7 * fsck.c (main): Make version display consisstent with the other
10 * lsattr.c, chattr.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c,
11 mklost+found.c: Remove EXT2FS_VERSION from the version
12 display, since it only confuses people.
14 2001-08-18 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
16 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): Remove unused variable
19 * get_device_by_label.h: Define function prototype for
20 copy_string(), since this was moved from fsck.c to
21 get_device_by_label.c by Andreas's BK changeset.
23 2001-08-17 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
25 * get_device_by_label.[ch], fsck.c, util.c: New interpret_spec()
26 function in get_device_by_label.c to allow the use of
27 UUID= or LABEL= when creating filesystems which use external
28 journal dev (e.g. mke2fs -J device=LABEL=<journal_label>).
30 * tune2fs.c: Use superblock s_journal_uuid to locate an external
31 journal device instead of s_journal_dev when removing it.
32 Allow opening journal devices to set the label and UUID
33 in the ext2 superblock.
35 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Free journal_device after use, as it is
36 malloc'd in interpret spec.
38 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
40 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.23
42 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
44 * tune2fs.c: Make sure that error messages are sent to stderr, and
45 normal messages are sent to stdout. (Addresses Debian bug
48 * fsck.8.in: Fixed error in synopsis of the man page.
50 * fsck.c (check_all): Don't bother to interpret a device where the
51 pass number is zero. (Addresses Debian bug #106696.)
52 (main): Print a warning message if there are no devices to
53 be checked. (Addresses Debian bug #107458.)
55 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Handle -O and -s options in line in the getopt
56 loop, so that -s and -O handling are a bit more intuitive.
57 (Not that they should be mixed anyway; -s is deprecated.)
59 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Give an error if -O is
60 specified more than once.
62 2001-08-10 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
64 * mke2fs.8.in: Slim down text describing the -O flag to remove
65 text that erroneously implied that all features
66 (including compatible flags) aren't compatible with older
69 2001-08-09 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
71 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug pointed out by Christopher Niessen; if
72 mke2fs -O none is specified, the sparse_super feature
73 should not be present.
75 * e2image.c, e2image.8.in: Add support for raw image files.
77 2001-08-04 Andreas Dilger <root@lynx.adilger.int>
79 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Put check for JOURNAL_DEV before sparse_option,
80 so we don't set the sparse superblock flag on journal devices.
82 2001-07-31 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
84 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, remove_journal_inode): If
85 removing an in-filesystem journal, clear out the journal
86 inode and update the filesystem accounting structures so
87 we don't have to run e2fsck to clean up after ourselves
89 2001-07-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
91 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Don't require a forced fsck if
92 we're removing an external journal from a filesystem.
94 2001-07-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
96 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the blocksize is not specified and the
97 journal device is specified, use it to determine the
98 blocksize of the new filesystem.
100 2001-07-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
102 * fsck.8.in: Add much more explicit language documenting how the
103 fs_passno field in /etc/fstab is handled. (Addresses
106 2001-07-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
108 * fstype.c (identify_fs): New file which looks at the superblock
109 of the filesystem to determines its type.
111 * fsck.c (fsck_device, ignore, interpret_type): Call identify_fs
112 if the type specified in /etc/fstab is "auto".
114 2001-06-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
116 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.22
118 2001-06-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
120 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.21
122 2001-06-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
124 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Remove unneeded test in when creating a external
127 2001-06-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
129 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (print_check_message): Move
130 the message which displays how often the filesystem will
131 be checked from mke2fs into a utility subroutine. Then
132 cause tune2fs to call that function to display the message
133 after adding a journal to a filesystem.
135 * mke2fs.8.in: Add manual page fixups and explanation for why it's
136 good to check filesystems periodically from Andreas
139 * Makefile.in: Don't build e2image if --disable-imager is
140 specified to configure.
142 2001-06-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
144 * dumpe2fs.c: Use WORDS_BIGENDIAN to determine whether or not
145 we're (not) using i386 byte order.
147 * dumpe2fs.c, mke2fs.c: Stop using the compatibility badblocks
148 function, and use the ext2fs_badblocks_* functions
151 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fixed bug which can cause fsck
152 to core dump if there are a mix of devices with standard
153 and non-standard names. (Addresses Debian bug #100559)
155 2001-06-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
157 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Don't use _FILE_BITS_OFFSET method of using
158 the 64-bit function, since this changes the expected size
159 of struct dirent. Instead use lseek64 explicitly.
161 2001-06-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
163 * Makefile.in: Move include/asm/types.h.in to
164 lib/ext2fs/ext2_types.h.in.
166 2001-05-25 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
168 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.20
170 2001-05-25 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
172 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Fix capitalization typo.
174 2001-05-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
176 * partinfo.c (main): Use unsigned long instead of long when
177 querying the size of a device using the BLKGETSIZE ioctl,
178 to remove the 1TB limit (and turn it into a 2TB limit :-)
180 * fsck.c (compile_fs_type): Fix I18N compilation bug: use N_()
181 instead of _() to initialize static variables.
183 2001-05-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
185 * fsck.8.in, fsck.c (compile_fs_type, fs_type, ignore): Fix
186 handling of -t option to be more intuitive. Also add
187 support for the Mandrake -t loop hack. See man page
188 for description of new -t semantics.
190 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fix bug in
191 device_already_active which could cause infinite loops if
192 we don't know the base_device of the filesystem.
194 * fsck.c: Make sure all exit status codes returned by fsck are
195 consistent with the error codes documented in the fsck man
198 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
200 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c, findsuper.c,
201 lsattr.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c:
202 Change location of ext2_fs.h to be ext2fs/ext2_fs.h
204 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other clarifications suggested
207 2001-05-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
209 * mke2fs.c: don't zap the superblock if we are running with noaction!
210 Zap the end of the device to remove stale RAID superblocks.
212 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
214 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Clean up some printf messages.
216 * fsck.8.in, mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other
217 clarifications suggested by Andreas Dilger.
219 2001-05-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
221 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Integrated changes from Andreas Dilger which
222 make the revision superblock field be set to the correct
223 value depending on if superblock features are set.
225 2001-05-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
227 * fsck.c (PRS): fsck -? now prints the usage message.
229 * badblocks.8.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in,
230 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo; removed
231 excess "anonymous" in the AVAILABILITY section.
233 * chattr.1.in, lsattr.1.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update URL location of
236 2001-05-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
238 * util.c: Use specific check for HAVE_SYS_STAT_H.
240 2001-05-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
242 * fsck.8.in: Add explicit language to describe how options get
243 passed to filesystem-specific checkers.
245 * badblocks.8.in: Fixed man page to describe the first optional
246 parameter to badblocks as last_block, instead of
247 num_blocks. (Debian bug #87216)
249 * badblocks.c: Change the blocks_count variable to be last_count,
250 which is a more accurate description of the variable.
252 2001-05-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
254 * e2image.8.in: New manual page
256 * badblocks.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in mklost+found.8.in,
257 tune2fs.8.in: Update location of e2fsprogs to be
258 http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net.
260 * dumpe2fs.c (main): Add new flag, -i, which will allow dumpe2fs
261 to dump out the filesystem statistics from an ext2 image
264 * e2image.c (main): Fix format of e2image to be easier to be parse
267 2001-05-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
269 * fsck.c (device_already_active): If we're not able to determine
270 the base device, we should assume that the device is
271 already active in order to force serialization.
273 2001-04-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
275 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Interpret -c 0 as -c -1 (for
276 backwards compatibility with older kernels). -c 0 makes
279 2001-04-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
281 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): If the force flag is given,
282 tune2fs will remove the journal device information from
283 the superblock even if tune2fs failed to open the journal
284 device or otherwise other failed to remove the filesystem
286 (parse_tune2fs_options): Fix -j option so that it works
287 (it was missing the open_flag being set to EXT2_FLAG_RW).
288 (main): Accept "-U clear" to set a null UID.
290 2001-04-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
292 * mke2fs.8.in: Manual page cleanups. Temporarily comment out the
293 documentation for the extern journal device support.
295 * mke2fs.c (usage): Remove the deprecated -s option from the usage
298 2001-04-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
300 * mke2fs.c (main): Add better explanation about when the
301 filesystem will be checked after it is created.
303 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Remove code which allowed a bare
304 number to be treated as a journal size.
306 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Add newlines to error messages so that they
309 * mke2fs.c (create_journal_dev): Call
310 ext2fs_create_journal_superblock() first, so if it's going
311 to error out, the user finds out before waiting for the
312 entire device to get zero'ed.
314 2001-03-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
316 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Change man paegs to document that the
317 journal must be bewteen 1024 and 102,400 file system
320 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Change to use figure_journal_size()
322 * util.c, util.h (figure_journal_size): Change
323 journal_default_size into routine which also converts the
324 requested journal size into filesystem blocks and does
325 bounds checking to make sure the journal is sized
326 reasonably. Renamed function to journal_default_size.
327 (parse_journal_opts): Remove bounds check for the journal
328 size, since this is now done in figure_journal_size, and
329 based on the number of filesystem blocks, as opposed to
330 using the absolute size of the journal.
332 2001-02-17 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
334 * mke2fs.c (main): Flush out the "creating journal" message.
335 Also handle the case where the default journal size
336 returns zero blocks == no journal. Print out how often
337 the filesystem will be checked.
339 2001-02-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
341 * e2image.c (main): Add code to write the e2image header.
343 2001-02-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
345 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect that 2.0.39 supports
348 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix fencepost error when calculating the
349 range of inode table blocks. Add '0x' to values printed
352 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Define the _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE to force the
353 use of the LFS so that lstat will work on large files.
355 2001-01-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
357 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Change user
358 interface so that -J is used to specify journal options,
359 and -j is used to request creation of a journal using
360 default values. (This is a UI change, but we haven't done
361 a formal release, and it makes things much more consistent
362 with the rest of the options out there.)
364 * tune2fs.c: Add support for removing a filesystem from an
365 external journal; we correctly remove the filesystem UUID
366 from the external journal's filesystem list.
368 * util.h, util.c (journal_default_size): New function from Andreas
369 Dilger to calculate an appropriate default journal size
370 given a filesystem size.
372 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Allow the creation of a journal as
375 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Use s_first_data_block
376 to find the correct block to read the journal superblock.
378 2001-01-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
380 * tune2fs.c: Changed the external journal code so that it simply
381 adds a filesystem to a journal; the journal must have bene
382 created via "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX".
384 * mke2fs.c: Add support for creating an external journal device by
385 using the command "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX". Also
386 changed the external journal code so -j device=/dev/XXX it
387 simply adds a filesystem to that journal; the journal must
388 have been created via separate step.
390 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Add support for dumping
391 information about an external journal device.
393 2001-01-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
395 * mke2fs.c: Add new filesystem types, largefile and largefile4,
396 for those filesystems whose average inode size is 1MB and
397 4MB, respectively. Allow the inode ratio specified to be
398 has high as 4MB. Make the s_max_mount_count vary between
399 20 and 40, to avoid needing to check all of the
400 filesystems at the same time. Add some random jitter to
401 the s_max_mount_count value so that we avoid checking all
402 of the filesystems at the same time when we reboot.
404 * tune2fs.8.in: Add description of the -j option.
406 * tune2fs.c (add_journal): Minor fixes from Andreas Dilger. Flush
407 stdout after printing in-progress message.
408 (main): Exit with status code 1 if we failed to determine
409 the mount status of the device.
411 2001-01-11 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
413 * e2image.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c,
414 uuidgen.c: Fix gcc -Wall complaints, including one bug in
415 tune2fs caused by a block automatic shadowing version of
416 the variable we really wanted to use, which broke the
417 logic testing to see if the filesystem was mounted.
419 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use ext2fs_sync_device() to sync and
422 * mke2fs.c: Change ino_t to ext2_ino_t.
424 2001-01-08 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
426 * Makefile.in, tune2fs.c: Move e2label functionality into tune2fs,
427 using argv[0] as a dispatch. This allows e2label to be
428 (more) safely used on mounted filesystems.
430 2001-01-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
432 * get_device_by_label.h (get_volume_label_by_spec): Add function
435 * get_device_by_label.c: Use string_copy() instead of strdup() for
436 portability's sake. Fix a few other gcc -Wall
439 * fsck.c (string_copy): Export string_copy() extern.
441 * badblocks.c: Fix various gcc -Wall complaints, including
442 an incorrect reference to sync in flush_bufs().
444 2001-01-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
446 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, add_journal): Moved to separate
447 functions. Added ability to add and remove the journal
448 while the filesystem is live. Added support for setting
449 a time-based UUID. Removed zero-initialized static variables.
451 * mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (strcasecmp, proceed_question,
452 check_plausibility, parse_journal_opts, check_mount):
453 Moved functions to util.c so they can be used by tune2fs.
455 * mke2fs.c (main): Change ext2fs_add_journal_fs() to
456 ext2fs_add_journal_inode() to reflect function renaming.
458 2001-01-01 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
460 * mke2fs.c, e2image.c: Removed references to struct ext2fs_sb to
461 struct ext2_super_block.
463 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support to allow HAS_JOURNAL flag to be
464 cleared, but only if the filesystem is unmounted or
465 mounted read-only. Changed struct ext2fs_sb to struct
466 ext2_super_block, and cleaned up old code which was needed
467 for old versions of ext2_fs.h (not needed since we're
468 using our own version now).
470 2000-12-31 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
472 * fsck.c (check_all): Call interpet_device to resolve LABEL= and
473 UUID= right away so that the device_already_active() logic
474 can do the right thing. Also cleaned up the the root
475 filesystem logic checking code; fixed up a logic bug with
476 the parallel_root option.
478 * lsattr.1.in: Add pointer to chattr man page for definition of
481 * lsattr.c (list_attributes): Minor cleanup to smooth out logic
482 flow. Also removed static initialized variables to zero.
484 * chattr.c (decode_arg, get_flag): Use a table-driven method for
485 decoding the ext2 file flags character options. Add
486 support for the journaled data flag.
488 * chattr.1.in: Document the -j/+j/=j flag.
490 2000-12-30 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
492 * mke2fs.8.in: Minor clarity edit.
494 * mke2fs.c (usage): Document the -j option.
495 (main): Print the number blocks used in the journal.
497 2000-12-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
499 * base_device.c (base_device): Add support for DAC960 device
502 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Handle the case where
503 base_device doesn't know how to interpret the device name,
504 instead of core dumping.
506 2000-12-09 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
508 * mke2fs.c (main, parse_journal_opts): Add support for creating V1
509 superblocks. We now pass in a journal_flags field to the
510 journal creation routines for this purpose.
512 * mke2fs.c: Remove zero initializers to save a few bytes from the
513 executable image. (Are we excited yet?)
515 * findsuper.c: And non-subtle copyright licensing restriction to
516 get Yann to remove this program from the Debian package. :-)
518 2000-12-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
520 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Change to use new version of
521 base_device() which now returns dynamically allocated
524 * base_device.c (base_device): New version moved from fsck.c which
525 now understands ugly devfs names. (Debian bug #65181)
527 * base_device.tst: Test case for base_device.c
529 2000-12-02 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
531 * fsck.8.in: Add clarification that filesystems with a fs_passno
532 of 0 are skipped with the -A option. (Debian wishlist/bug
535 * fsck.c (wait_one): When we let a new fsck take control of the
536 console to display the progress bar, set FLAG_PROGRESS to
537 so that fsck knows not to start new processes during an
538 fsck pass with the progress bar. (Should fix debian bug
541 * tune2fs.8.in: Add clarifying statement about converting user and
542 group names to uid's before storing them in the
543 superblock. (Debian bug #67446)
545 2000-11-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
547 * mke2fs.c(main): Expand the -j option so that it parses
548 option=argument style options, and add support for
549 creating filesystems with external journals.
551 * mke2fs.8.in: Document new syntax for the -j option.
553 2000-11-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
555 * e2image.c, Makefile.in: New program which saves ext2 metadata to
556 a file for people who need a last-ditch saving throw.
558 2000-10-24 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
560 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Applied Andreas Dilger's patch to make the -r -s
561 handling a bit more sane. (Even though -s is deprecated
564 * get_device_by_label.c: Apply fix from Erik Troan to support 16
567 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Add a special case check for MD
568 devices, so we don't try to check them in parallel with
571 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main), mke2fs.8.in: Add support for the -j
572 option, which builds an ext2/3 filesystem with an ext3
575 2000-10-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
577 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix really stupid typo which gcc 2.95
580 2000-09-12 <tytso@valinux.com>
582 * fsck.c: Add base device definitions for hd[e-h], for those
583 systems with four IDE interfaces.
585 2000-09-11 <tytso@valinux.com>
587 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix error message printed when zap_sector
590 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fixed format string bug when printing
591 the inode table location in non-hex format.
593 2000-08-20 <tytso@valinux.com>
595 * get_device_by_label.c: Add call to ext2fs_find_block_device if
596 we can't find the device using the name given by
597 /proc/partitions. (This can happen if devfs is compiled
598 into the kernel, but not mounted.)
600 2000-06-27 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolabs.com>
602 * dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option
603 to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for
604 location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors
606 * mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict
608 2000-08-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
610 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general
612 (main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to
613 avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.
615 2000-07-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
617 * get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in
618 fsck, and speed up fsck -a.
620 2000-07-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
622 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.19
624 2000-07-13 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
626 * badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options
627 are mutually exclusive.
629 * badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the
630 block count must be specified if the starting block is to
631 be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in
634 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing
635 variable before going into the write verification loop.
636 This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block
637 on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal
638 while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The
639 num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get
640 clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no
641 longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup
644 * badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size).
645 Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option
646 to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing
647 the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf
650 2000-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
652 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as
653 fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of
654 the progress bar display logic.
656 * tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if
657 max_mount_count is negative.
659 * tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be
660 negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a
663 * fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation
664 for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root
665 privileges if the partitions need to be scanned.
666 Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for
667 removeable devices such as floppies if there are any
668 LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab.
670 * badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem
671 is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive
672 test. This can be overriden using the new -f option.
674 * badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the
675 blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly
676 document the start-block parameter. Added documentation
679 * badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be
680 optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the
683 2000-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
685 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that
686 it's more obviously what's going on. Fixed a few
687 potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the
688 old, overly complicated logic.
689 (flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and
690 always forces a sync; this is required before it's really
691 safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels.
693 2000-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
695 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
696 filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
697 size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
698 argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.
700 2000-05-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
702 * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
703 or LABEL= specification is given.
705 * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
706 the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
707 (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
708 to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
709 that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
710 feature for the forseeable future, either.)
712 * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
713 proceed_question that was busted due to the
714 internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if
715 proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
716 cleared of the previous question's newline.
718 Thu Apr 6 17:50:25 2000 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@signal.thunk.org>
720 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't
723 2000-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
725 * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
726 uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
727 manually define optarg and optind.
729 * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
732 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
733 now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
734 longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
735 (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
737 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
738 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
740 chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
742 2000-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
745 * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
747 * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
749 * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
751 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
752 blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
754 * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
755 Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
756 #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
757 file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
760 * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
761 The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
762 Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.
764 2000-02-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
766 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
767 fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
768 mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
769 uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
770 suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
772 * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
773 Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
774 removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
775 clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
776 code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
777 was interrupted at the wrong time.)
779 * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
781 2000-02-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
783 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
784 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
785 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
786 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
787 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
789 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
790 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
792 * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h
794 2000-01-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
796 * tune2fs.c (usage): Update the usage message to correctly
797 document the -s option.
799 2000-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
801 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
802 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
803 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
804 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
806 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
807 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
808 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
809 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
810 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
811 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
812 Finally, the original data is written back.
814 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
815 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
816 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
817 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
818 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
819 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
820 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
821 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
822 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
823 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
824 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
825 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
826 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
827 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
828 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
830 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
831 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
832 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
835 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
836 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
838 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
839 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
840 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
841 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
842 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
843 and want the host hard drive to flush.
845 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
846 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
847 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
848 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
849 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
850 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
851 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
852 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
855 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
856 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
857 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
858 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
859 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
860 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
861 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
862 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
863 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
864 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
865 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
866 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
867 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
868 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
871 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
872 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
873 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
874 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
875 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
876 for your information.
878 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
879 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
880 which I install which will write back whatever original
881 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
882 (except SIGKILL, of course).
884 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
885 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
886 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
887 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
888 could learn how to update the manpage and other
889 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
890 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
891 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
892 should be in the distribution."
894 2000-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
896 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
897 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
898 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
900 1999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>
902 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix man page so that the sparse_super filesystem
903 option is properly named.
905 1999-11-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
907 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
908 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
909 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
911 1999-11-19 <tytso@valinux.com>
913 * Makefile.in (distclean): Remove TAGS and Makefile.in.old from
914 the source directory.
916 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
918 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.18
920 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
922 * mke2fs.8.in: Update manual page so that the sparse_option
923 filesystem option is properly named.
925 1999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
927 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
928 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
929 fsck -As can do so interactively.
931 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
933 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.17
935 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
937 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
938 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
939 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
941 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
942 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
943 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
944 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
946 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
947 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
948 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
951 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
952 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
953 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
954 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
957 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
958 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
960 1999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
962 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
964 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
965 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
966 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
968 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
969 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
972 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
974 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16
976 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
978 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
979 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
980 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
981 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
983 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
984 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
985 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
986 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
988 1999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>
990 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
991 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
992 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
993 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
994 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
996 1999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
998 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
999 changing the sparse superblock option
1001 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
1002 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
1003 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
1006 1999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
1008 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
1009 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
1011 1999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1013 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
1016 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
1019 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
1020 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
1023 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
1026 1999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
1028 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
1031 1999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1033 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
1035 1999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1037 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
1038 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
1039 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
1040 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
1041 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
1042 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
1043 the filesystem the system would make.
1045 1999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
1047 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
1048 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
1049 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
1050 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
1051 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
1053 1999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1055 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
1056 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
1057 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
1059 1999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
1061 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
1062 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
1064 1999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
1066 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
1067 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
1068 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
1069 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
1070 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
1071 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
1073 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
1074 UUID=bar type specifications.
1076 1999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
1078 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
1079 clear out a large block number.
1081 1999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
1083 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
1084 appears mounted if the force option is given.
1086 1999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
1088 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
1089 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
1091 1999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1093 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
1096 1999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1098 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
1099 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
1100 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
1101 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
1103 1999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
1105 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
1108 1999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1110 * fsck.c (fsck_device, execute): Don't dereference a null pointer
1111 when checking a filesystem not in /etc/fstab.
1113 1999-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1115 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
1116 in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
1117 Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
1118 the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.
1120 1999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1122 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
1123 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
1124 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
1125 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
1126 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
1127 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
1129 1999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1131 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
1132 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
1133 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
1134 fsck pass structure.
1135 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
1136 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs

1370 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Added warnings that the sparse
1371 superblock option isn't yet supported by most kernels.

1543 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
1544 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
1545 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
1546 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
1547 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
1548 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
1549 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
1550 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
1553 Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1565 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
1566 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
1567 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
1568 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
1569 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
1571 Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1591 Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1593 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
1596 Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1599 function to determine if the device is mounted.
1601 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
1602 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
1603 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
1604 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
1606 Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1608 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user

1633 Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1635 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
1636 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the
1637 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
1639 Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1641 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
1642 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
1643 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
1644 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
1647 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
1648 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---

1652 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
1655 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.

1674 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
1676 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
1677 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
1679 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
1681 Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1683 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
1684 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
1685 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
1686 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1688 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
1689 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1690 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
1691 statically sized buffer.
1692 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
1693 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
1695 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
1696 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
1697 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
1698 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
1699 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
1701 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
1702 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
1703 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
1704 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
1707 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
1708 support separate compilation directories.
1710 Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
1712 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
1713 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
1714 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
1715 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
1717 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
1718 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
1719 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
1720 very large partition.
1722 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
1723 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
1724 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
1726 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
1727 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
1728 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
1729 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
1730 ioctl, which most do.)
1732 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
1733 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
1734 during 0.5b development.)
1736 Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1738 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
1739 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
1740 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
1741 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
1744 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
1745 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
1746 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
1748 Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1750 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
1752 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
1753 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
1754 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
1756 Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1758 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
1760 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
1762 Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
1764 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
1765 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
1766 all partitions should be checked.
1768 Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
1770 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
1773 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
1776 Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1778 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
1779 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
1781 Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
1783 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
1785 Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
1787 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
1790 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
1792 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
1794 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
1796 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
1798 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
1800 Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
1802 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
1803 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
1804 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
1805 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
1806 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
1808 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
1809 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
1810 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
1811 statistics if necessary.
