1 2000-12-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
3 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Change to use new version of
4 base_device() which now returns dynamically allocated
7 * base_device.c (base_device): New version moved from fsck.c which
8 now understands ugly devfs names. (Debian bug #65181)
10 * base_device.tst: Test case for base_device.c
12 2000-12-02 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
14 * fsck.8.in: Add clarification that filesystems with a fs_passno
15 of 0 are skipped with the -A option. (Debian wishlist/bug
18 * fsck.c (wait_one): When we let a new fsck take control of the
19 console to display the progress bar, set FLAG_PROGRESS to
20 so that fsck knows not to start new processes during an
21 fsck pass with the progress bar. (Should fix debian bug
24 * tune2fs.8.in: Add clarifying statement about converting user and
25 group names to uid's before storing them in the
26 superblock. (Debian bug #67446)
28 2000-11-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
30 * mke2fs.c(main): Expand the -j option so that it parses
31 option=argument style options, and add support for
32 creating filesystems with external journals.
34 * mke2fs.8.in: Document new syntax for the -j option.
36 2000-11-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
38 * e2image.c, Makefile.in: New program which saves ext2 metadata to
39 a file for people who need a last-ditch saving throw.
41 2000-10-24 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
43 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Applied Andreas Dilger's patch to make the -r -s
44 handling a bit more sane. (Even though -s is deprecated
47 * get_device_by_label.c: Apply fix from Erik Troan to support 16
50 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Add a special case check for MD
51 devices, so we don't try to check them in parallel with
54 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main), mke2fs.8.in: Add support for the -j
55 option, which builds an ext2/3 filesystem with an ext3
58 2000-10-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
60 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix really stupid typo which gcc 2.95
63 2000-09-12 <tytso@valinux.com>
65 * fsck.c: Add base device definitions for hd[e-h], for those
66 systems with four IDE interfaces.
68 2000-09-11 <tytso@valinux.com>
70 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix error message printed when zap_sector
73 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fixed format string bug when printing
74 the inode table location in non-hex format.
76 2000-08-20 <tytso@valinux.com>
78 * get_device_by_label.c: Add call to ext2fs_find_block_device if
79 we can't find the device using the name given by
80 /proc/partitions. (This can happen if devfs is compiled
81 into the kernel, but not mounted.)
83 2000-06-27 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolabs.com>
85 * dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option
86 to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for
87 location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors
89 * mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict
91 2000-08-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
93 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general
95 (main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to
96 avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.
98 2000-07-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
100 * get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in
101 fsck, and speed up fsck -a.
103 2000-07-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
105 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.19
107 2000-07-13 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
109 * badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options
110 are mutually exclusive.
112 * badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the
113 block count must be specified if the starting block is to
114 be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in
117 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing
118 variable before going into the write verification loop.
119 This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block
120 on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal
121 while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The
122 num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get
123 clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no
124 longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup
127 * badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size).
128 Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option
129 to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing
130 the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf
133 2000-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
135 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as
136 fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of
137 the progress bar display logic.
139 * tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if
140 max_mount_count is negative.
142 * tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be
143 negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a
146 * fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation
147 for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root
148 privileges if the partitions need to be scanned.
149 Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for
150 removeable devices such as floppies if there are any
151 LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab.
153 * badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem
154 is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive
155 test. This can be overriden using the new -f option.
157 * badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the
158 blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly
159 document the start-block parameter. Added documentation
162 * badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be
163 optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the
166 2000-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
168 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that
169 it's more obviously what's going on. Fixed a few
170 potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the
171 old, overly complicated logic.
172 (flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and
173 always forces a sync; this is required before it's really
174 safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels.
176 2000-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
178 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
179 filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
180 size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
181 argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.
183 2000-05-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
185 * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
186 or LABEL= specification is given.
188 * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
189 the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
190 (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
191 to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
192 that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
193 feature for the forseeable future, either.)
195 * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
196 proceed_question that was busted due to the
197 internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if
198 proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
199 cleared of the previous question's newline.
201 Thu Apr 6 17:50:25 2000 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@signal.thunk.org>
203 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't
206 2000-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
208 * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
209 uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
210 manually define optarg and optind.
212 * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
215 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
216 now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
217 longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
218 (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
220 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
221 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
223 chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
225 2000-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
228 * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
230 * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
232 * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
234 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
235 blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
237 * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
238 Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
239 #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
240 file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
243 * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
244 The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
245 Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.
247 2000-02-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
249 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
250 fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
251 mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
252 uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
253 suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
255 * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
256 Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
257 removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
258 clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
259 code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
260 was interrupted at the wrong time.)
262 * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
264 2000-02-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
266 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
267 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
268 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
269 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
270 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
272 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
273 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
275 * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h
277 2000-01-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
279 * tune2fs.c (usage): Update the usage message to correctly
280 document the -s option.
282 2000-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
284 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
285 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
286 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
287 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
289 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
290 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
291 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
292 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
293 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
294 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
295 Finally, the original data is written back.
297 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
298 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
299 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
300 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
301 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
302 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
303 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
304 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
305 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
306 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
307 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
308 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
309 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
310 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
311 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
313 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
314 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
315 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
318 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
319 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
321 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
322 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
323 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
324 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
325 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
326 and want the host hard drive to flush.
328 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
329 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
330 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
331 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
332 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
333 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
334 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
335 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
338 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
339 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
340 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
341 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
342 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
343 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
344 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
345 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
346 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
347 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
348 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
349 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
350 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
351 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
354 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
355 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
356 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
357 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
358 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
359 for your information.
361 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
362 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
363 which I install which will write back whatever original
364 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
365 (except SIGKILL, of course).
367 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
368 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
369 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
370 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
371 could learn how to update the manpage and other
372 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
373 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
374 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
375 should be in the distribution."
377 2000-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
379 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
380 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
381 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
383 1999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>
385 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix man page so that the sparse_super filesystem
386 option is properly named.
388 1999-11-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
390 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
391 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
392 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
394 1999-11-19 <tytso@valinux.com>
396 * Makefile.in (distclean): Remove TAGS and Makefile.in.old from
397 the source directory.
399 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
401 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.18
403 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
405 * mke2fs.8.in: Update manual page so that the sparse_option
406 filesystem option is properly named.
408 1999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
410 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
411 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
412 fsck -As can do so interactively.
414 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
416 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.17
418 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
420 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
421 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
422 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
424 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
425 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
426 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
427 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
429 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
430 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
431 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
434 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
435 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
436 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
437 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
440 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
441 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
443 1999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
445 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
447 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
448 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
449 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
451 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
452 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
455 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
457 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16
459 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
461 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
462 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
463 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
464 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
466 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
467 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
468 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
469 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
471 1999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>
473 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
474 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
475 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
476 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
477 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
479 1999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
481 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
482 changing the sparse superblock option
484 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
485 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
486 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
489 1999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
491 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
492 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
494 1999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
496 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
499 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
502 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
503 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
506 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
509 1999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
511 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
514 1999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
516 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
518 1999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
520 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
521 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
522 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
523 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
524 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
525 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
526 the filesystem the system would make.
528 1999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
530 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
531 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
532 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
533 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
534 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
536 1999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
538 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
539 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
540 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
542 1999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
544 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
545 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
547 1999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
549 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
550 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
551 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
552 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
553 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
554 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
556 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
557 UUID=bar type specifications.
559 1999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
561 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
562 clear out a large block number.
564 1999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
566 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
567 appears mounted if the force option is given.
569 1999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
571 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
572 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
574 1999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
576 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
579 1999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
581 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
582 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
583 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
584 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
586 1999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
588 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to

603 1999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
605 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
606 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
607 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
608 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
609 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
610 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
612 1999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
614 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
615 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
616 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
618 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
619 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs

647 1999-01-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
649 * fsck.c (load_fs_info, parse_fstab_line): Ignore fstab lines
650 are commented out. Also allow blank lines in the
652 (execute): In verbose mode, print the mountpount of the

671 * Makefile.in: Updated dependencies.
673 1998-11-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
675 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
676 relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of
677 allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.
679 1998-11-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
681 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor display bug in the nroff.

725 1998-03-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
727 * Makefile.in: Change to use new installation directory variables
728 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
729 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
730 target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the

752 longer than 16 characters, print a warning message stating
753 that the label will be truncated.
755 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
756 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
757 warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.

827 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Adjust the number of columns printed when
828 displaying the superblock backups to avoid running over
829 80 columns when making a really big disk.
831 Thu May 8 22:22:08 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
833 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, fsck.8.in,

854 superblock option isn't yet supported by most kernels.
856 Wed Apr 23 22:42:51 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
858 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the default filesystem revision be 0, not

1026 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
1027 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
1028 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
1029 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
1030 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
1031 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
1032 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
1033 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this

1046 Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1048 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
1049 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
1050 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
1051 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
1052 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
1054 Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1074 Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1076 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
1079 Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1082 function to determine if the device is mounted.
1084 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
1085 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
1086 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
1087 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
1089 Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1091 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
1092 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
1093 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to

1116 Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1118 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
1119 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the
1120 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
1122 Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1124 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
1125 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
1126 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
1127 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
1130 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
1131 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
1132 alloca is not portable!

1135 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
1138 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
1140 Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)

1145 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
1147 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1148 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
1150 Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1152 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1153 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
1155 Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1157 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
1159 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
1160 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
1162 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
1164 Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1166 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
1167 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
1168 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
1169 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1171 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
1172 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1173 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
1174 statically sized buffer.
1175 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
1176 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
1178 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
1179 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
1180 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
1181 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
1182 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
1184 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
1185 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
1186 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
1187 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
1190 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
1191 support separate compilation directories.
1193 Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
1195 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
1196 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
1197 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
1198 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
1200 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
1201 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
1202 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
1203 very large partition.
1205 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
1206 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
1207 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
1209 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
1210 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
1211 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
1212 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
1213 ioctl, which most do.)
1215 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
1216 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
1217 during 0.5b development.)
1219 Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1221 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
1222 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
1223 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
1224 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
1227 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
1228 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
1229 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
1231 Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1233 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
1235 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
1236 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
1237 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
1239 Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1241 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
1243 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
1245 Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
1247 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
1248 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
1249 all partitions should be checked.
1251 Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
1253 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
1256 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
1259 Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1261 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
1262 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
1264 Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
1266 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
1268 Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
1270 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
1273 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
1275 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
1277 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
1279 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
1281 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
1283 Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
1285 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
1286 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
1287 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
1288 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
1289 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
1291 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
1292 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
1293 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
1294 statistics if necessary.
