55 correctly translated. (Addresses Debian Bug #252836)
57 * tune2fs.8.in: Add a description of the .journal file, why it
58 is created, and how e2fsck converts it to an invisible
59 journal. (Addresses Debian Bug #256760)
61 2004-09-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
63 * e2initrd_helper.c: New program which allows initrd scripts to
64 check on the contents of /etc/fstab without (a) needing to
65 mount the root filesystem, and (b) needing /bin/awk in the
66 initrd environment. (Addresses Debian Bug #247775)
68 2004-09-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
70 * tune2fs.8.in: Mention that e2fsck -D might be useful after
71 setting the dir_index filesystem feature. (Addresses
74 2004-07-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
76 * e2image.c, e2image.8.in: Add new option -I which allows the
77 administrator to install an metadata stored in an e2image
78 file to a filesystem. Obviously, this can be very

96 were not modified, don't set the superblock dirty bit.
98 2004-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
100 * Makefile.in: Update the modtime even if subst doesn't need to
101 update the man pages, to avoid always re-running
102 subst, especially since there are no dependencies on these
105 2004-03-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
107 * blkid.c: Remove the partially implemented -p option (it never
108 did anything, but was documented in the man page and the
111 2004-03-20 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

139 2004-02-26 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
141 * filefrag.c: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
143 * badblocks.c (pattern_fill): Fix bug accidentally added when
144 fixing up gcc -Wall nits. badblocks -t random was not
145 getting handled properly because ~0 needed to be cast to
146 an unsigned long instead of an unsigned char. (Addresses
149 2004-02-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
151 * fsck.c (execute): Use '&&' instead of '&'. (It didn't cause a

153 Fix from Thomas Woerner at Red Hat.)
155 2004-02-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
157 * filefrag.c: Use #ifdef __linux__ instead of __LINUX__ so that it

200 util.c: Fix gcc -Wall nitpicks.
202 2003-09-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
204 * tune2fs.c (parse_e2label_options, parse_tune2fs_options,
205 do_findfs): Check the returned name from blkid_get_devname and
206 print an error if the requested LABEL/UUID does not exist.
208 2003-09-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
210 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Use ext2fs_super_and_bgd_loc to
211 determine the locations of the superblock and block group
214 2003-11-20 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
216 * util.c (check_plausibility): Support 2.6 kernel header files,
217 instead of having the build to crash. (Addresses Debian
220 2003-09-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
222 * mke2fs.c (progress_init, progress_update): If the environment
223 variable MKE2FS_SKIP_PROGRESS is set, then don't print out
224 a progress bar; for regression test support.
225 (PRS): If the environment variable MKE2FS_DEVICE_SECTSIZE
226 is set, then override the device sector size. Again for
227 regression test support.
228 (main): If the environment variable MKE2FS_SKIP_CHECK_MSG
229 is set, then skip printing an information messages about
230 when the filesystem will be checked, since this number is
231 random and screws up the regression test expect script.
233 2003-08-31 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
235 * mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults): Fix bug which caused -T largefile or
236 -T largefile4 to core dump due to a division by zero
237 error. (Addressed Debian bug #207082)
239 2003-08-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

246 2003-08-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
248 * badblocks.c (set_o_direct): Add check to make sure the file
249 offset of the device is page aligned. (Addresses Debian

254 boundaries. (Thanks to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for
257 2003-07-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
259 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.34
261 2003-07-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
263 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add warning if using -j and the blocksize is
264 greater than 4096, since some kernels don't support ext3
265 with large block sizes. (Addresses Debian bug #193773)
267 * badblocks.c (set_o_direct): Remove debugging printf. (Addresses
270 2003-07-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
272 * fsck.c (wait_many): Rename wait_all() to wait_many(), and have
273 new semantics: WAIT_ALL vs. WAIT_ATLEAST_ONE. This fixes
274 a bug where when fsck is waiting for another partition on
275 the same spindle, it spins wasting a lot of CPU.
277 2003-07-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
279 * badblocks.c (do_read, do_write, test_rw): Change the read/write
280 test to honor the -c option (number of blocks at a time).
281 do_read and do_write will try to turn on the O_DIRECT flag
282 if it appears that it is possible to use it. (Addresses
285 * mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults): If sector_size is 0, don't use it to
286 set the blocksize to zero. This causes MD devices to fail
287 since they don't support the BLKSSZGET ioctl. (Addresses
290 2003-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
292 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main): If CONFIG_TESTIO_DEBUG, then use the
295 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Round down the default filesystem size so that
296 it is an even multiple of the page size, to work around
297 buffer cache kernel bug.
299 * badblocks.c: Fix gcc -Wall nitpicks (signed/unsigned type issues)
301 * blkid.c: Fix gcc -Wall nitpicks (missing #include <string.h>)
303 2003-05-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
305 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): If the sector size of the
306 device is larger than the default block size, then use the
307 sector size of the device as the default block size.
309 2003-05-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
311 * badblocks.c: Use an unsigned integer to support 4-byte test
312 patterns with the high bit set. Let the user explicitly
313 specify a random pattern with the argument "random".
315 2003-05-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
317 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Fix minor memory leak with test_rw() is
318 called for multiple passes.
319 (test_nd): Fix bug in chosing randomness for the
320 non-destructive test. We were only using 1 bit of
321 randomness per byte instead of 8 due to a bit-shift bug.
322 Also, initialize the random number generator from the time
323 in main(). Thanks to Thayne Harbaugh for pointing out
326 * badblocks.c, badblocks.8.in: Functional enhancements contributed
327 by Thayne Harbaugh. These patches allow the -t option to
328 control the test pattern(s) used when checking the disk.
329 Test patterns may be specified in all modes (r/w, r/o and
332 2003-05-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
334 * tune2fs.c (main, add_journal_device, remove_journal_device): If
335 --enable-testio-debug is set, then use the test_io manager
336 so we can watch what tune2fs is doing.
338 2003-05-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
340 * uuidgen.c (main): Add setup functions for NLS support.
342 * e2image.c (write_header), mke2fs.c (PRS): Add missing space in

346 (parse_journal_opts): Fix typo in usage string.
348 * tune2fs.c (parse_time): Add portability code to work around lack
351 * Makefile.in: Add $(LIBINTL) to the link line so we can support
352 using the internal gettext library.
354 * nls-enable.h: Add #ifndef protection around LOCALEDIR definition.
356 2003-04-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
358 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.33
360 2003-04-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

363 libext2fs, and avoid linking blkid against any of the ext2
366 2003-04-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
368 * Makefile.in (fsck): Fsck does not need to linked against the
369 ext2 libraries anymore.
371 2003-04-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
373 * fsck.c (main): Put stdout and stderr into non-buffered mode to
374 avoid cosmetic problems when running fsck under logsave.
376 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Avoid printing the version banner for mke2fs if
377 the -q option is specified. (Addresses Debian bug #172716)
379 * logsave.c: Add support for the -a option (only partially
380 implemented previously). Always log the command-line and
381 start and stop time to the log file. Add support for the
382 -s option, which skips text bracketed between control-A
383 and control-B characters.
385 2003-04-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
387 * logsave.c: New program which saves the output of a command in a
388 log file, even if the containing directory hasn't been
389 mounted yet (in which case the it saves the output in
390 memory until it can write out the logfile).
392 2003-04-11 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
394 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the argument to -b is negative, treat it as a
395 minimum blocksize. (Feature requested by EVMS developers
396 for mainframe DASD's that do not support 1k blocksizes.)
398 * mke2fs.8.in: Document the -g option. (Addresses Debian bug #188318)
400 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug where mke2fs was incorrectly checking
401 the argument to the -g option, if the default block size
402 is used. (Addresses Debian bug #188319)
404 * tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Document the dir_index filesystem
405 feature which can be used with the -O option.
407 2003-04-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
409 * fsck.c (parse_fstab_line, interpret_type, fsck_device, ignore,
410 main): Don't evaluate the filesystem type when loading the
411 fstab file, since that might cause fsck to hang trying to
412 read from a floppy disk. (Addresses Debian bug #187812)
413 Add tmpfs and devpts to filesystems that should be
414 ignored, and add jfs, reseirfs, and xfs as filesystems
415 types where we should complain if we can't find the fsck
416 program for that filesystem type.
418 2003-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
420 * badblocks.c (bb_output): Flush output to the badblocks
421 output file as bad blocks are discovered.
423 2003-03-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
425 * chattr.1.in: Clarified the description of the 't' (no tail)
426 attribute. (Addresses Debian bug #185945)
428 2003-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
430 * fsck.c: And #ifdef protection around #include of malloc.h

435 symbolic links in the raw image file.
437 2003-03-06 <tytso@mit.edu>
439 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options, parse_e2label_options): Allow
440 the device name to be specified using LABEL=xxx or
441 UUID=xxx, since we're including the blkid library anyway.
442 (Addresses Debian bugs #166048, #179671)
444 * tune2fs.8.in, chattr.1.in: Minor man page fixes (Addresses
445 Debian bugs #175233, #175113, and #170497)
447 2003-03-06 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
449 * Makefile.in (DEPLIBS_BLKID): Use DEPLIBUUID, not LIBUUID to
450 avoid depending on -lsocket on Solaris.
452 2003-03-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
454 * fsck.c, util.c, tune2fs.c, Makefile.in: Use the blkid library
455 instead of the specialized functions in
456 get-device-by-label.c and fstype.c.
458 * base_device.c (base_device): Take a const char* as an argument.
460 * blkid.c: Remove deprecated -d option,

484 backslash escaping in /etc/fstab. (i.e., so that \040
487 2002-11-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
489 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Don't enable the dir_index feature by default;
490 the ext2 code on 2.4 kernels (but not 2.2 kernels, and not
491 the 2.4 ext3 code) accidentally had the backwards
492 compatibility support for dir_indexing removed.
494 2002-11-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

536 * fsck.c (main): Fix bug reported by Gregory Mutt. Multiple
537 filesystems explicitly specified on the command line were
538 not being checked in parallel, due to a logic bug
539 introduced in to support the FSCK_MAX_INST environment
542 2002-10-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
544 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc, main): Make dumpe2fs more robust so that

582 adds support for reiserfs volumes for LABEL= and UUID=
585 * badblocks.c (main): Appled sourceforge patch #600451, which
586 addresses sourceforge bug #600388, by AEF. This allows
587 badblocks to work correctly on read-only devices such as
588 CD-ROM's, DVD's, etc.
590 2002-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
592 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Clarify manual pages about using the
593 caret ('^') character to negate feature sets when using
594 the -O option. Define the has_journal feature to avoid
595 confusion about what ^has_journal means.
597 2001-09-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
599 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.29
601 2002-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
603 * fsck.c: If the bone-headed user enters the filename twice, the
604 -R option which skips the root filesystem will skip all of
605 them. (Addresses Debian bug #159423). Note! This is not
606 a precedent for dealing intelligently with any other kind
607 of doubled entry in /etc/fstab!
609 2002-09-22 root <tytso@mit.edu>
611 * mke2fs.c (main): Enable directory indexing by default.
613 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Allow directory indexing flag to
614 be set. If so, set the default hash to be TEA, and
615 initialize the hash seed to a random value.
617 2002-09-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
619 * get_device_by_label.c (init_lvm): Fix bug which caused
620 LABEL='xxx' to not work correctly when using LVM.
621 (Reversed sense of error check reported by ateeq@hotpop.com)
623 2001-08-31 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
625 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.28
627 2002-08-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
629 * findfs.8.in: New man page.
631 * tune2fs.c (do_findfs): If tune2fs is executed with argv[0] set
632 to findfs, then it will interpret argv[1] as one of
633 LABEL=xxx or UUID=xxx and translate it to a device name.
635 * get_device_by_label.c (uuidcache_init): Moved code which
636 interpreted /proc/partitions into read_partitions(), and
637 then added support for interpreting /proc/evms/volumes in
638 read_evms(). uuidcache_init() calls both read_evms() and
641 * mke2fs.8.in: Add a common usage of the -n option. (Addresses
644 * fsck.c (main): If no filesystems are specified on the command
645 line, default to -As. (Addresses Debian Bug #153102)
647 * badblocks.8.in: Clarify why it's bad to do a non-destructive
648 test on a r/o mounted filesystem. (Addresses Debian Bug
651 * chattr.1.in: Document the compression attribute flags E, X, and
652 Z, and explain that chattr can't set or set these flags.
653 (Addresses Debian Bug #151990)
655 * fsck.8.in: Fix typo in man page, and clarified text regarding
656 options specifiers for -t option. (Addresses Debian bug
659 * mke2fs.c (main): If there is a problem zeroing blocks at the end
660 of the filesystem, don't abort mke2fs. Addresses Debian
663 2002-08-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
665 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Check for an extended
666 attribute block before checking for has_valid_blocks.
668 2002-07-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
670 * fsck.8.in: Document new fsck exit code, FSCK_CANCELED.
672 * fsck.c: Trap SIGINT and SIGTERM, and relay it to all of the
673 child fsck processes.
675 2002-07-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
677 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Clear the buffer *after* testing for the
678 BSD sector label. Otherwise the first 512 bytes don't get
679 zapped. (Addresses Debian bug #147256.)
681 2002-07-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
683 * mke2fs.8.in: Cleaned up man page, and made it a bit more
684 OS-agnostic. Addresses Debian bug #144621. Hope this
685 makes the Hurd whiners happy. :-)
687 2002-06-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
689 * chattr.1.in: Fix man page typo. (Addresses Debian bug #141938)

698 one inode per block for large blocksizes.
700 2002-05-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
702 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Determine the page size using sysconf() at
703 runtime, instead of using the Linux system header files.
705 2002-05-16 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
707 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Allow blocksizes larger than 4k to be specified,
708 with warning printed and the user questioned if blocksize
709 is larger than the system's page size according to the
710 Linux kernel header files. Added better checking for
711 valid inode sizes, and again print a warning message if
712 using a large inode size (since most kernels today don't
715 2002-04-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
717 * fsck.8.in: Fix typo in man page.
719 2002-03-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
721 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.27
723 2002-03-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
725 * mke2fs.c: Check for the BSD disklabel on all architectures, and
726 also check the byte-swapped magic number as well.
728 2002-03-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
730 * mke2fs.c: Output warnings to stderr
731 (From Philipp Thomas <pthomas@suse.de>)
733 * base_device.c (main): Fix gcc -Wall complaints in debug code.
735 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Don't erase BSD disklabels on Alpha.
736 (From Thorsten Kukuk <kukuk@suse.de>)
738 2002-03-04 Philipp Thomas <pthomas@suse.de>
740 * chattr.c (main), fsck.c (main), mke2fs.c (main), findsuper.c
741 (main), dumpe2fs.c (main), lsattr.c (main), partinfo.c (main),
742 tune2fs.c (main), mklost+found.c (main), badblocks.c
743 (main), e2image.c (main): Newer libintl needs LC_CTYPE to
744 be set in addition to LC_MESSAGES.
746 2002-02-25 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
748 * mke2fs.c: Add check for mkfs.ext3 and create a journal in
751 2002-02-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
753 * Makefile.in (install): Install hard links for man pages for
754 mkfs.ext2 and mkfs.ext3. Also install hard link for
755 mkfs.ext3. Remove any compressed man pages before
756 installing the man pages.
758 2002-02-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
760 * badblocks.8.in: Clarify man page's description of the -f option
762 2002-02-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
764 * get_device_by_label.c: Since on non-STDC compilers, we define
765 away const, include get_device_by_label.h after we include
768 * Makefile.in (base_device): Remove use of $<, which is
771 2002-02-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
773 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.26
775 2002-02-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
777 * fsck.c (interpret_type): Allow filesystems types of the form
780 * fstype.c (identify_fs): Add support for only searching for a
781 specified list of filesystems. Also add support for
782 identifying reiserfs filesystems.
784 2002-01-29 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
786 * fsck.c: Allow the number of outstanding processes fs-specific
787 fsck programs to be capped via the FSCK_MAX_INST
788 envrionment variable.
790 * fsck.8.in: Document all of the environment variables used by fsck.
792 2002-01-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
794 * tune2fs.8.in: Document the -f flag to tune2fs.
796 2002-01-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
798 * badblocks.c (main): Open the device as O_RDWR if possible, since
799 fsync() isn't guaranteed to work if the filesystem is
802 2001-12-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
804 * tune2fs.8.in, tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options, main): Add
805 support for new option, -T, which allows the user to set
806 the last checked time on the filesystem.
808 2001-12-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
810 * mke2fs.c (main, test_disk): If two -c options are
811 specified, then perform a destructive read/write test
814 * mke2fs.8.in: Document the double -c option; also encourage users
815 to use -c instead of the -l/-L options since it's too hard
816 for users to get things like the blocksize parameter correct.
818 * badblocks.8.in: Encourage users to use the -c option in mke2fs
819 and e2fsck instead of running badblocks directly.
821 * mke2fs.c (create_lost_and_found): The lost+found directory is
822 now created with 0700 permissions, since files which get
823 dropped into that directory may have come from a protected
824 directory, and the system administrator may not deal with
825 immediately. (Addresses Debian bug #118443)
827 2001-12-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
829 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: Move linux/jbd.h to
830 ext2fs/kernel-jbd.h, to avoid using the system header
831 file version of hbd.h when using diet glibc (since it
832 forcibly adds /usr/include to the beginning of the
833 include search path.)
835 2001-12-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
837 * get_device_by_label.c (init_lvm): Add support to read out
838 information from the LVM proc hierarchy, so that the UUID
839 cache can search the LVM logical volumes for UUID's,
842 2001-12-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
844 * dumpe2fs.c (list_bad_blocks): Change to not die if the listing
845 of the bad blocks can't be found. Slimmed down dumpe2fs
846 by eliminating duplicate code paths.
848 2001-12-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
850 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc), fsck.c (fs_match),
851 get_device_by_label.c (get_label_uuid),
852 mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults, zap_sector, PRS),
853 tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device, update_feature_set),
854 util.c (figure_journal_size), util.h: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
856 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Fix gcc -Wall nits, and use
857 the stashed inode functions to optimize away system calls.
859 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: linux/jfs.h has been renamed to
862 2001-12-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
864 * dumpe2fs.c: Don't print the offset to the bitmap and inode table
865 if it's negative. Also did some generalized code clean up
866 to slim it down the support of the -x option.
868 2001-11-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
870 * e2image.8.in: Fix cut-and-paste typo (Addresses Debian bug
873 2001-11-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
875 * util.c (check_plausibility): Use stat64 if available so that
876 check_plausibility() works with files > 2GB.
878 2001-11-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
880 * chattr.1.in: Update the man page to document the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL
883 * chattr.c: Add support for the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL flag.
885 * fsck.c (interpret_type): If the "auto" type is specified, make
886 sure interpet_device() is called so that device
887 specifications which use LABEL= or UUID= are translated
888 into a real device name.
890 2001-10-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
892 * e2image.c (output_meta_data_blocks): Optimize away excess
893 lseek() calls when creating a sparse file. Fewer system
894 calls are a good thing. <g>
896 2001-10-07 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
898 * mke2fs.c (main): Always exit with non-zero code in case of error.
900 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Check that buffer allocation succeeded.
902 2001-09-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
904 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.25

908 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_inode): Remove dead code that wasn't
911 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect the fact that adding or
912 removing a journal doesn't require running e2fsck.
914 2001-09-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
916 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Allocate sufficient space for
919 2001-09-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>

931 2001-08-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
933 * badblocks.8.in: Fix spelling typo. (Addresses Debian bug #110621)
935 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Now takes a third argument, which is how
936 many sectors to clear out. Fixed up Andreas's patch to
937 make it a bit more efficient/compact.
939 2001-08-30 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
941 * mke2fs.c (main): Zap the second sector of the disk, along with
942 any sectors in the same filesystem block after the superblock.
943 The latter will remove (for example) swapspace signatures
944 on 4kB+ blocksize filesystems. Also when zeroing the "end"
945 of the filesystem don't actually zero the start of a very
946 small device (less than 64 blocks).
948 2001-08-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
950 * fsck.c (main): Make version display consistent with the other
953 * lsattr.c, chattr.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c,
954 mklost+found.c: Remove EXT2FS_VERSION from the version
955 display, since it only confuses people.
957 2001-08-18 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
959 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): Remove unused variable
962 * get_device_by_label.h: Define function prototype for
963 copy_string(), since this was moved from fsck.c to
964 get_device_by_label.c by Andreas's BK changeset.
966 2001-08-17 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
968 * get_device_by_label.[ch], fsck.c, util.c: New interpret_spec()
969 function in get_device_by_label.c to allow the use of
970 UUID= or LABEL= when creating filesystems which use external
971 journal dev (e.g. mke2fs -J device=LABEL=<journal_label>).
973 * tune2fs.c: Use superblock s_journal_uuid to locate an external
974 journal device instead of s_journal_dev when removing it.
975 Allow opening journal devices to set the label and UUID
976 in the ext2 superblock.
978 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Free journal_device after use, as it is
979 malloc'd in interpret spec.
981 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
983 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.23
985 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
987 * tune2fs.c: Make sure that error messages are sent to stderr, and
988 normal messages are sent to stdout. (Addresses Debian bug
991 * fsck.8.in: Fixed error in synopsis of the man page.
993 * fsck.c (check_all): Don't bother to interpret a device where the
994 pass number is zero. (Addresses Debian bug #106696.)
995 (main): Print a warning message if there are no devices to
996 be checked. (Addresses Debian bug #107458.)
998 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Handle -O and -s options in line in the getopt
999 loop, so that -s and -O handling are a bit more intuitive.
1000 (Not that they should be mixed anyway; -s is deprecated.)
1002 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Give an error if -O is
1003 specified more than once.
1005 2001-08-10 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1007 * mke2fs.8.in: Slim down text describing the -O flag to remove
1008 text that erroneously implied that all features
1009 (including compatible flags) aren't compatible with older
1012 2001-08-09 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1014 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug pointed out by Christopher Niessen; if
1015 mke2fs -O none is specified, the sparse_super feature
1016 should not be present.
1018 * e2image.c, e2image.8.in: Add support for raw image files.
1020 2001-08-04 Andreas Dilger <root@lynx.adilger.int>
1022 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Put check for JOURNAL_DEV before sparse_option,
1023 so we don't set the sparse superblock flag on journal devices.
1025 2001-07-31 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1027 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, remove_journal_inode): If
1028 removing an in-filesystem journal, clear out the journal
1029 inode and update the filesystem accounting structures so
1030 we don't have to run e2fsck to clean up after ourselves
1032 2001-07-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1034 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Don't require a forced fsck if
1035 we're removing an external journal from a filesystem.
1037 2001-07-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1039 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the blocksize is not specified and the
1040 journal device is specified, use it to determine the
1041 blocksize of the new filesystem.
1043 2001-07-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1045 * fsck.8.in: Add much more explicit language documenting how the
1046 fs_passno field in /etc/fstab is handled. (Addresses
1049 2001-07-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1051 * fstype.c (identify_fs): New file which looks at the superblock
1052 of the filesystem to determines its type.
1054 * fsck.c (fsck_device, ignore, interpret_type): Call identify_fs
1055 if the type specified in /etc/fstab is "auto".
1057 2001-06-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1059 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.22

1070 2001-06-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1072 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (print_check_message): Move
1073 the message which displays how often the filesystem will
1074 be checked from mke2fs into a utility subroutine. Then
1075 cause tune2fs to call that function to display the message
1076 after adding a journal to a filesystem.
1078 * mke2fs.8.in: Add manual page fixups and explanation for why it's
1079 good to check filesystems periodically from Andreas
1082 * Makefile.in: Don't build e2image if --disable-imager is
1083 specified to configure.
1085 2001-06-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1087 * dumpe2fs.c: Use WORDS_BIGENDIAN to determine whether or not
1088 we're (not) using i386 byte order.
1090 * dumpe2fs.c, mke2fs.c: Stop using the compatibility badblocks
1091 function, and use the ext2fs_badblocks_* functions
1094 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fixed bug which can cause fsck
1095 to core dump if there are a mix of devices with standard
1096 and non-standard names. (Addresses Debian bug #100559)
1098 2001-06-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1100 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Don't use _FILE_BITS_OFFSET method of using
1101 the 64-bit function, since this changes the expected size
1102 of struct dirent. Instead use lseek64 explicitly.
1104 2001-06-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1106 * Makefile.in: Move include/asm/types.h.in to
1107 lib/ext2fs/ext2_types.h.in.

1115 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Fix capitalization typo.
1117 2001-05-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1119 * partinfo.c (main): Use unsigned long instead of long when
1120 querying the size of a device using the BLKGETSIZE ioctl,
1121 to remove the 1TB limit (and turn it into a 2TB limit :-)
1123 * fsck.c (compile_fs_type): Fix I18N compilation bug: use N_()
1124 instead of _() to initialize static variables.
1126 2001-05-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1128 * fsck.8.in, fsck.c (compile_fs_type, fs_type, ignore): Fix
1129 handling of -t option to be more intuitive. Also add
1130 support for the Mandrake -t loop hack. See man page
1131 for description of new -t semantics.
1133 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fix bug in
1134 device_already_active which could cause infinite loops if
1135 we don't know the base_device of the filesystem.
1137 * fsck.c: Make sure all exit status codes returned by fsck are
1138 consistent with the error codes documented in the fsck man
1141 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1143 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c, findsuper.c,

1153 Zap the end of the device to remove stale RAID superblocks.
1155 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1157 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Clean up some printf messages.
1159 * fsck.8.in, mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other
1160 clarifications suggested by Andreas Dilger.
1162 2001-05-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1164 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Integrated changes from Andreas Dilger which
1165 make the revision superblock field be set to the correct
1166 value depending on if superblock features are set.
1168 2001-05-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1170 * fsck.c (PRS): fsck -? now prints the usage message.
1172 * badblocks.8.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in,
1173 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo; removed
1174 excess "anonymous" in the AVAILABILITY section.
1176 * chattr.1.in, lsattr.1.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update URL location of
1179 2001-05-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1181 * util.c: Use specific check for HAVE_SYS_STAT_H.
1183 2001-05-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1185 * fsck.8.in: Add explicit language to describe how options get
1186 passed to filesystem-specific checkers.
1188 * badblocks.8.in: Fixed man page to describe the first optional
1189 parameter to badblocks as last_block, instead of
1190 num_blocks. (Debian bug #87216)
1192 * badblocks.c: Change the blocks_count variable to be last_count,
1193 which is a more accurate description of the variable.
1195 2001-05-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1197 * e2image.8.in: New manual page
1199 * badblocks.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in mklost+found.8.in,
1200 tune2fs.8.in: Update location of e2fsprogs to be
1201 http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net.
1203 * dumpe2fs.c (main): Add new flag, -i, which will allow dumpe2fs
1204 to dump out the filesystem statistics from an ext2 image
1207 * e2image.c (main): Fix format of e2image to be easier to be parse
1210 2001-05-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1212 * fsck.c (device_already_active): If we're not able to determine
1213 the base device, we should assume that the device is
1214 already active in order to force serialization.
1216 2001-04-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1218 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Interpret -c 0 as -c -1 (for
1219 backwards compatibility with older kernels). -c 0 makes
1220 more sense to users.
1222 2001-04-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1224 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): If the force flag is given,
1225 tune2fs will remove the journal device information from
1226 the superblock even if tune2fs failed to open the journal
1227 device or otherwise other failed to remove the filesystem
1228 from journal device.
1229 (parse_tune2fs_options): Fix -j option so that it works
1230 (it was missing the open_flag being set to EXT2_FLAG_RW).
1231 (main): Accept "-U clear" to set a null UID.
1233 2001-04-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1235 * mke2fs.8.in: Manual page cleanups. Temporarily comment out the
1236 documentation for the extern journal device support.
1238 * mke2fs.c (usage): Remove the deprecated -s option from the usage
1241 2001-04-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1243 * mke2fs.c (main): Add better explanation about when the
1244 filesystem will be checked after it is created.
1246 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Remove code which allowed a bare
1247 number to be treated as a journal size.
1249 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Add newlines to error messages so that they
1252 * mke2fs.c (create_journal_dev): Call
1253 ext2fs_create_journal_superblock() first, so if it's going
1254 to error out, the user finds out before waiting for the
1255 entire device to get zero'ed.
1257 2001-03-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1259 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Change man paegs to document that the
1260 journal must be bewteen 1024 and 102,400 file system
1263 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Change to use figure_journal_size()
1265 * util.c, util.h (figure_journal_size): Change
1266 journal_default_size into routine which also converts the
1267 requested journal size into filesystem blocks and does
1268 bounds checking to make sure the journal is sized
1269 reasonably. Renamed function to journal_default_size.
1270 (parse_journal_opts): Remove bounds check for the journal
1271 size, since this is now done in figure_journal_size, and
1272 based on the number of filesystem blocks, as opposed to
1273 using the absolute size of the journal.
1275 2001-02-17 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1277 * mke2fs.c (main): Flush out the "creating journal" message.
1278 Also handle the case where the default journal size
1279 returns zero blocks == no journal. Print out how often
1280 the filesystem will be checked.
1282 2001-02-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1284 * e2image.c (main): Add code to write the e2image header.
1286 2001-02-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1288 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect that 2.0.39 supports
1291 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix fencepost error when calculating the
1292 range of inode table blocks. Add '0x' to values printed
1295 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Define the _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE to force the
1296 use of the LFS so that lstat will work on large files.
1298 2001-01-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1300 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Change user
1301 interface so that -J is used to specify journal options,
1302 and -j is used to request creation of a journal using
1303 default values. (This is a UI change, but we haven't done
1304 a formal release, and it makes things much more consistent
1305 with the rest of the options out there.)
1307 * tune2fs.c: Add support for removing a filesystem from an
1308 external journal; we correctly remove the filesystem UUID
1309 from the external journal's filesystem list.
1311 * util.h, util.c (journal_default_size): New function from Andreas
1312 Dilger to calculate an appropriate default journal size
1313 given a filesystem size.
1315 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Allow the creation of a journal as
1318 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Use s_first_data_block
1319 to find the correct block to read the journal superblock.
1321 2001-01-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1323 * tune2fs.c: Changed the external journal code so that it simply
1324 adds a filesystem to a journal; the journal must have bene
1325 created via "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX".
1327 * mke2fs.c: Add support for creating an external journal device by
1328 using the command "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX". Also
1329 changed the external journal code so -j device=/dev/XXX it
1330 simply adds a filesystem to that journal; the journal must
1331 have been created via separate step.
1333 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Add support for dumping
1334 information about an external journal device.
1336 2001-01-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1338 * mke2fs.c: Add new filesystem types, largefile and largefile4,
1339 for those filesystems whose average inode size is 1MB and
1340 4MB, respectively. Allow the inode ratio specified to be
1341 has high as 4MB. Make the s_max_mount_count vary between
1342 20 and 40, to avoid needing to check all of the
1343 filesystems at the same time. Add some random jitter to
1344 the s_max_mount_count value so that we avoid checking all
1345 of the filesystems at the same time when we reboot.
1347 * tune2fs.8.in: Add description of the -j option.
1349 * tune2fs.c (add_journal): Minor fixes from Andreas Dilger. Flush
1350 stdout after printing in-progress message.
1351 (main): Exit with status code 1 if we failed to determine
1352 the mount status of the device.
1354 2001-01-11 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1356 * e2image.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c,
1357 uuidgen.c: Fix gcc -Wall complaints, including one bug in
1358 tune2fs caused by a block automatic shadowing version of
1359 the variable we really wanted to use, which broke the
1360 logic testing to see if the filesystem was mounted.
1362 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use ext2fs_sync_device() to sync and
1365 * mke2fs.c: Change ino_t to ext2_ino_t.
1367 2001-01-08 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1369 * Makefile.in, tune2fs.c: Move e2label functionality into tune2fs,
1370 using argv[0] as a dispatch. This allows e2label to be
1371 (more) safely used on mounted filesystems.
1373 2001-01-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1375 * get_device_by_label.h (get_volume_label_by_spec): Add function
1378 * get_device_by_label.c: Use string_copy() instead of strdup() for
1379 portability's sake. Fix a few other gcc -Wall
1382 * fsck.c (string_copy): Export string_copy() extern.
1384 * badblocks.c: Fix various gcc -Wall complaints, including
1385 an incorrect reference to sync in flush_bufs().
1387 2001-01-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1389 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, add_journal): Moved to separate
1390 functions. Added ability to add and remove the journal
1391 while the filesystem is live. Added support for setting
1392 a time-based UUID. Removed zero-initialized static variables.
1394 * mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (strcasecmp, proceed_question,
1395 check_plausibility, parse_journal_opts, check_mount):
1396 Moved functions to util.c so they can be used by tune2fs.
1398 * mke2fs.c (main): Change ext2fs_add_journal_fs() to
1399 ext2fs_add_journal_inode() to reflect function renaming.
1401 2001-01-01 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1403 * mke2fs.c, e2image.c: Removed references to struct ext2fs_sb to
1404 struct ext2_super_block.
1406 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support to allow HAS_JOURNAL flag to be
1407 cleared, but only if the filesystem is unmounted or
1408 mounted read-only. Changed struct ext2fs_sb to struct
1409 ext2_super_block, and cleaned up old code which was needed
1410 for old versions of ext2_fs.h (not needed since we're
1411 using our own version now).
1413 2000-12-31 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1415 * fsck.c (check_all): Call interpet_device to resolve LABEL= and
1416 UUID= right away so that the device_already_active() logic
1417 can do the right thing. Also cleaned up the the root
1418 filesystem logic checking code; fixed up a logic bug with
1419 the parallel_root option.
1421 * lsattr.1.in: Add pointer to chattr man page for definition of
1422 the file attributes.
1424 * lsattr.c (list_attributes): Minor cleanup to smooth out logic
1425 flow. Also removed static initialized variables to zero.
1427 * chattr.c (decode_arg, get_flag): Use a table-driven method for
1428 decoding the ext2 file flags character options. Add
1429 support for the journaled data flag.
1431 * chattr.1.in: Document the -j/+j/=j flag.
1433 2000-12-30 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1435 * mke2fs.8.in: Minor clarity edit.
1437 * mke2fs.c (usage): Document the -j option.
1438 (main): Print the number blocks used in the journal.
1440 2000-12-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1442 * base_device.c (base_device): Add support for DAC960 device
1445 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Handle the case where
1446 base_device doesn't know how to interpret the device name,
1447 instead of core dumping.
1449 2000-12-09 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1451 * mke2fs.c (main, parse_journal_opts): Add support for creating V1
1452 superblocks. We now pass in a journal_flags field to the
1453 journal creation routines for this purpose.
1455 * mke2fs.c: Remove zero initializers to save a few bytes from the
1456 executable image. (Are we excited yet?)
1458 * findsuper.c: And non-subtle copyright licensing restriction to
1459 get Yann to remove this program from the Debian package. :-)
1461 2000-12-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1463 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Change to use new version of
1464 base_device() which now returns dynamically allocated
1467 * base_device.c (base_device): New version moved from fsck.c which
1468 now understands ugly devfs names. (Debian bug #65181)
1470 * base_device.tst: Test case for base_device.c
1472 2000-12-02 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1474 * fsck.8.in: Add clarification that filesystems with a fs_passno
1475 of 0 are skipped with the -A option. (Debian wishlist/bug
1478 * fsck.c (wait_one): When we let a new fsck take control of the
1479 console to display the progress bar, set FLAG_PROGRESS to
1480 so that fsck knows not to start new processes during an
1481 fsck pass with the progress bar. (Should fix debian bug
1484 * tune2fs.8.in: Add clarifying statement about converting user and
1485 group names to uid's before storing them in the
1486 superblock. (Debian bug #67446)
1488 2000-11-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1490 * mke2fs.c(main): Expand the -j option so that it parses
1491 option=argument style options, and add support for
1492 creating filesystems with external journals.
1494 * mke2fs.8.in: Document new syntax for the -j option.
1496 2000-11-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1498 * e2image.c, Makefile.in: New program which saves ext2 metadata to
1499 a file for people who need a last-ditch saving throw.
1501 2000-10-24 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1503 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Applied Andreas Dilger's patch to make the -r -s
1504 handling a bit more sane. (Even though -s is deprecated
1507 * get_device_by_label.c: Apply fix from Erik Troan to support 16
1510 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Add a special case check for MD
1511 devices, so we don't try to check them in parallel with
1514 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main), mke2fs.8.in: Add support for the -j
1515 option, which builds an ext2/3 filesystem with an ext3
1518 2000-10-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
1520 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix really stupid typo which gcc 2.95
1523 2000-09-12 <tytso@valinux.com>
1525 * fsck.c: Add base device definitions for hd[e-h], for those
1526 systems with four IDE interfaces.
1528 2000-09-11 <tytso@valinux.com>
1530 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix error message printed when zap_sector
1533 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fixed format string bug when printing
1534 the inode table location in non-hex format.
1536 2000-08-20 <tytso@valinux.com>
1538 * get_device_by_label.c: Add call to ext2fs_find_block_device if
1539 we can't find the device using the name given by
1540 /proc/partitions. (This can happen if devfs is compiled
1541 into the kernel, but not mounted.)
1543 2000-06-27 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolabs.com>
1545 * dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option
1546 to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for
1547 location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors
1549 * mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict
1551 2000-08-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
1553 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general
1555 (main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to
1556 avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.
1558 2000-07-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1560 * get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in
1561 fsck, and speed up fsck -a.
1563 2000-07-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
1565 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.19
1567 2000-07-13 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1569 * badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options
1570 are mutually exclusive.
1572 * badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the
1573 block count must be specified if the starting block is to
1574 be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in
1577 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing
1578 variable before going into the write verification loop.
1579 This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block
1580 on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal
1581 while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The
1582 num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get
1583 clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no
1584 longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup
1587 * badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size).
1588 Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option
1589 to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing
1590 the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf
1593 2000-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1595 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as
1596 fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of
1597 the progress bar display logic.
1599 * tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if
1600 max_mount_count is negative.
1602 * tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be
1603 negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a
1606 * fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation
1607 for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root
1608 privileges if the partitions need to be scanned.
1609 Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for
1610 removeable devices such as floppies if there are any
1611 LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab.
1613 * badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem
1614 is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive
1615 test. This can be overriden using the new -f option.
1617 * badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the
1618 blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly
1619 document the start-block parameter. Added documentation
1622 * badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be
1623 optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the
1624 device as a default.
1626 2000-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1628 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that
1629 it's more obviously what's going on. Fixed a few
1630 potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the
1631 old, overly complicated logic.
1632 (flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and
1633 always forces a sync; this is required before it's really
1634 safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels.
1636 2000-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1638 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
1639 filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
1640 size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
1641 argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.
1643 2000-05-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1645 * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
1646 or LABEL= specification is given.
1648 * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
1649 the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
1650 (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
1651 to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
1652 that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
1653 feature for the forseeable future, either.)
1655 * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
1656 proceed_question that was busted due to the
1657 internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if
1658 proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
1659 cleared of the previous question's newline.
1661 Thu Apr 6 17:50:25 2000 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@signal.thunk.org>
1663 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't
1664 support fdatasync().
1666 2000-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1668 * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
1669 uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
1670 manually define optarg and optind.
1672 * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
1675 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
1676 now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
1677 longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
1678 (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
1680 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
1681 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
1683 chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
1685 2000-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1688 * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
1690 * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
1692 * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
1694 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
1695 blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
1697 * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
1698 Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
1699 #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
1700 file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
1703 * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
1704 The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
1705 Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.
1707 2000-02-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1709 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
1710 fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1711 mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
1712 uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
1713 suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
1715 * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
1716 Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
1717 removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
1718 clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
1719 code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
1720 was interrupted at the wrong time.)
1722 * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
1724 2000-02-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1726 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
1727 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
1728 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
1729 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
1730 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
1732 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
1733 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
1735 * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h
1737 2000-01-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1739 * tune2fs.c (usage): Update the usage message to correctly
1740 document the -s option.
1742 2000-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1744 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
1745 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
1746 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
1747 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
1749 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
1750 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
1751 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
1752 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
1753 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
1754 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
1755 Finally, the original data is written back.
1757 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
1758 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
1759 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
1760 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
1761 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
1762 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
1763 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
1764 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
1765 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
1766 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
1767 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
1768 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
1769 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
1770 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
1771 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
1773 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
1774 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
1775 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
1778 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
1779 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
1781 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
1782 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
1783 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
1784 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
1785 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
1786 and want the host hard drive to flush.
1788 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
1789 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
1790 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
1791 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
1792 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
1793 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
1794 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
1795 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
1798 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
1799 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
1800 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
1801 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
1802 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
1803 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
1804 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
1805 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
1806 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
1807 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
1808 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
1809 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
1810 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
1811 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
1812 completely reliable.
1814 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
1815 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
1816 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
1817 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
1818 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
1819 for your information.
1821 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
1822 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
1823 which I install which will write back whatever original
1824 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
1825 (except SIGKILL, of course).
1827 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
1828 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
1829 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
1830 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
1831 could learn how to update the manpage and other
1832 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
1833 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
1834 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
1835 should be in the distribution."
1837 2000-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1839 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
1840 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
1841 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
1843 1999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>
1845 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix man page so that the sparse_super filesystem
1846 option is properly named.
1848 1999-11-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1850 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
1851 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
1852 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
1854 1999-11-19 <tytso@valinux.com>
1856 * Makefile.in (distclean): Remove TAGS and Makefile.in.old from
1857 the source directory.
1859 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1861 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.18
1863 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1865 * mke2fs.8.in: Update manual page so that the sparse_option
1866 filesystem option is properly named.
1868 1999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
1870 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
1871 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
1872 fsck -As can do so interactively.
1874 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1876 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.17
1878 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1880 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
1881 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
1882 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
1884 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
1885 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
1886 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
1887 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
1889 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
1890 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
1891 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
1894 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
1895 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
1896 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
1897 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
1900 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
1901 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
1903 1999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
1905 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
1907 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
1908 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
1909 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
1911 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
1912 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
1915 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1917 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16
1919 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1921 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
1922 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
1923 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
1924 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
1926 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
1927 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
1928 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
1929 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
1931 1999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>
1933 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
1934 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
1935 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
1936 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
1937 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
1939 1999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
1941 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
1942 changing the sparse superblock option
1944 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
1945 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
1946 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
1949 1999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
1951 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
1952 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
1954 1999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1956 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
1959 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
1962 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
1963 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
1966 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
1969 1999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
1971 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
1974 1999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1976 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
1978 1999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1980 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
1981 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
1982 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
1983 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
1984 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
1985 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
1986 the filesystem the system would make.
1988 1999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
1990 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
1991 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
1992 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
1993 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
1994 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
1996 1999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1998 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
1999 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
2000 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
2002 1999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
2004 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
2005 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
2007 1999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
2009 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
2010 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
2011 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
2012 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
2013 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
2014 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
2016 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
2017 UUID=bar type specifications.
2019 1999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
2021 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
2022 clear out a large block number.
2024 1999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
2026 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
2027 appears mounted if the force option is given.
2029 1999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
2031 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
2032 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
2034 1999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2036 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
2039 1999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2041 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
2042 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
2043 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
2044 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
2046 1999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
2048 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
2051 1999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2053 * fsck.c (fsck_device, execute): Don't dereference a null pointer
2054 when checking a filesystem not in /etc/fstab.
2056 1999-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2058 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
2059 in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
2060 Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
2061 the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.
2063 1999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2065 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
2066 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
2067 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
2068 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
2069 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
2070 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
2072 1999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2074 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
2075 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
2076 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
2077 fsck pass structure.
2078 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
2079 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
2082 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2084 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.14
2086 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2088 * fsck.8.in: Clarified and expanded the documentation for the -A
2091 1999-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2093 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the pass number field is missing, it
2094 needs to be treated as zero.
2096 1999-01-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2098 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add -N option to allow the user to specify
2099 exactly how many inodes he/she wishes.
2101 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Only print the version information for the
2102 program if the -V option is given.
2104 * chattr.c: Ignore symbolic links when doing a recursive descent
2105 through a directory.
2107 1999-01-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2109 * fsck.c (load_fs_info, parse_fstab_line): Ignore fstab lines
2110 are commented out. Also allow blank lines in the
2112 (execute): In verbose mode, print the mountpount of the
2113 filesystem which we are checking (user request).
2115 1998-12-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2117 * mke2fs.c: Add definition of SCSI_BLK_MAJOR if not defined, for
2118 compatibility with Linux 1.2.13 header files.
2120 1998-12-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2122 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.13
2124 1998-12-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2126 * mke2fs.8.in: Fixed stupid typo ("Raid options are _comma_
2127 seperated", instead of common separated)
2129 1998-12-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2131 * Makefile.in: Updated dependencies.
2133 1998-11-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2135 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
2136 relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of
2137 allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.
2139 1998-11-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2141 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor display bug in the nroff.
2143 * mke2fs.c (show_stats, write_inode_tables): Use the log10
2144 function to calculate the display of block numbers so that
2145 things look nice on an 80 character display.
2147 1998-10-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2149 * mke2fs.c (usage): Add the sparse-super-flag to the usage
2152 1998-07-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2154 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.12
2156 1998-07-04 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2158 * findsuper.c (main): Print the block group number which is now
2159 being written by e2fsprogs.
2161 1998-06-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2163 * fsck.c (ignore): Remove unused variable cp.
2165 * chattr.c (fatal_error):
2166 * tune2fs.c (usage):
2168 * dumpe2fs.c (usage):
2169 * badblocks.c (usage): Remove volatile from declaration.
2171 * fsck.c: Change use of strdup to be string_copy, since we don't
2172 trust what glibc is doing with strdup. (Whatever it is,
2175 1998-06-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2177 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a -V option which prints the version number
2180 1998-05-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2182 * fsck.c (ignore): Remove check for filesystems with the noauto
2185 1998-03-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2187 * Makefile.in: Change to use new installation directory variables
2188 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
2189 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
2190 target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the
2191 cat directory in /usr/man/cat?.
2193 1998-03-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2195 * e2label.8.in: New man page to document the e2label function.
2197 * e2label.c: Fix -Wall warning by making functions static.
2199 1998-03-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2201 * chattr.1.in: Document that the append-only attribute may
2202 only be set or cleared by the superuser.
2204 * Update all manual pages to that the availability section is
2207 * e2label.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to state that
2208 labels must be no longer than 16 characters, or they will
2211 * e2label.c (change_label), tune2fs.c (main): If the label is
2212 longer than 16 characters, print a warning message stating
2213 that the label will be truncated.
2215 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
2216 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
2217 warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.
2219 1998-03-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2221 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Fixed spelling typo in warning
2222 message. Fixed up -Wall warnings in file.
2224 Sun Mar 8 22:21:48 1998 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2226 * partinfo.c (main): The ioctl BLKGETSIZE requires a long, not an
2229 Sun Feb 1 16:53:36 1998 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2231 * badblocks.8: Update documentation to note that output format
2232 of badblocks is suitable for use with e2fsck -l or
2235 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Fix bug so that all groups with
2236 bad superblock backup blocks are printed (not just the
2239 Mon Dec 1 17:01:04 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2241 * badblocks.8.in: Add documentation for the -s option.
2243 Fri Oct 24 23:37:52 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2246 * chattr.c: Remove #include of getopt.h, since it's not needed.
2250 * badblocks.c (main):
2251 * dumpe2fs.c (main):
2252 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the variable which getopt returns into be
2253 an int, so that it won't lose on platforms where char is
2256 Fri Oct 3 13:38:45 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2258 * mke2fs.c (parse_raid_opts): Make parse_raid_opts return a void,
2259 to fix a -Wall warning.
2261 Mon Sep 15 22:07:12 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2264 * mklost+found.c (main):
2266 * dumpe2fs.c (main):
2268 * badblocks.c (main): Declare main to return an int, as required.
2269 Make sure main always ends with an exit(0). (Some
2270 programs weren't doing this, and thus were returning a
2273 Mon Jul 14 15:27:29 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
2275 * e2label.c: New file contributed by Andries Brouwer which

2287 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Adjust the number of columns printed when
2288 displaying the superblock backups to avoid running over
2289 80 columns when making a really big disk.
2291 Thu May 8 22:22:08 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2293 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, fsck.8.in,
2294 mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor typos and grammer
2295 oops found by Bill Hawes (whawes@star.net).
2297 * mke2fs.c (test_disk): Pass the blocksize to the bad blocks
2298 command so that all of the filesystem gets tested in the
2299 case where the blocksize 2048 or 4096.
2301 Thu Apr 24 12:16:42 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>

2305 Thu Apr 24 09:52:47 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
2307 * mke2fs.c: Added new option -R, which specifies RAID options.
2308 Currently the only supported RAID option is "stride" which
2309 specifies the stripe width in RAID filesystem. This is
2310 used to aid in the placement of the inode and block
2313 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Added warnings that the sparse
2314 superblock option isn't yet supported by most kernels.
2316 Wed Apr 23 22:42:51 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
2318 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the default filesystem revision be 0, not
2319 1. (Since some people are still worried about 1.2.13
2322 Thu Apr 17 12:23:38 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2324 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.09
2326 Fri Apr 11 18:57:24 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2328 * chattr.1.in: Updated man page so that the 'A' attribute is
2329 specified everywhere.
2331 * chattr.c (usage): Added usage message for the 'A' attribute.

2345 * tune2fs.c (main): Implement the -s flag allows the user to
2346 set and reset the sparse superblock flag.
2348 * mke2fs.c (PRS): By default generate DYNAMIC revision
2349 filesystems. The -s flag controls whether or not the
2350 sparse superblock flag is set.
2351 (PRS): Change to allow the user to specify the true
2352 maximum number of blocks per group to reflect the
2355 Wed Mar 12 13:32:05 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
2357 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.07
2359 Thu Mar 6 17:15:05 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2361 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Set the root directory's i_uid and
2362 i_gid to be the real user and group id.
2364 Tue Mar 4 10:14:33 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2366 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add more intelligent error

2376 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Fixed bug in write_inode_tables
2377 where a loop variable was getting reused in a nested loop.
2378 This caused the inode table to not be correctly
2381 Thu Jan 2 00:00:37 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2383 * lsattr.c, chattr.c: Include string.h, since we use memcpy().
2385 * findsuper.c: Use time_t for ctime(), not __u32.
2387 Sat Dec 28 23:39:18 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2389 * badblocks.c: Adapted -vv modifications from Rik Faith so that
2390 they frequently update the block number field.
2392 * badblocks.8.in: Document the optional start-block parameter
2394 Mon Oct 14 11:52:58 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

2420 current number of mounts.
2421 (main): Allow the interval to be specified in seconds,
2422 mostly for debugging.
2424 Tue Aug 27 17:27:43 1996 Miles Bader <miles@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2426 * Makefile.in (SMANPAGES): Use @FSCK_MAN@ instead of fsck.8.
2427 (SPROGS): Use @FSCK_PROG@ instead of fsck.

2437 and fix sent by Charles Howes, chowes@eznet.ca)
2439 Fri Aug 9 11:52:42 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2442 * tune2fs.c: Added support for the -L option which sets the volume
2443 label, the -M option which sets the last mounted
2444 directory, and the -U option which sets the filesystem UUID.
2447 * mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the
2448 creator OS. Generate a UUID for the filesystem, if
2449 applicable. Added support for the -L option which sets
2450 the volume label, and the -M option which sets the last
2453 Sat Jun 22 17:43:17 1996 Remy Card <card@bbj.linux.eu.org>
2455 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Integrated Michael Nonweiler's fix to
2456 avoid a segmentation fault when the "-v" option is used
2457 and no version number is specified.
2459 Thu May 16 11:12:30 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2461 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.04
2463 Wed May 15 21:15:43 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2465 * Makefile.in (fsck): fsck doesn't need to be linked with the ext2
2468 Wed Mar 27 00:33:40 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2470 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.03
2472 Thu Mar 7 03:43:20 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2474 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add (for development only) support to
2475 specify revision and inode size of the new filesystem.
2477 Tue Mar 5 03:51:35 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2479 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix a few minor typo's in the man page.
2481 * mke2fs.c (reserve_inodes): Add support for dynamic first inode
2484 Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2486 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
2487 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
2488 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
2489 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
2490 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
2491 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
2492 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
2493 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
2496 Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2498 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.02
2500 Tue Oct 30 21:14:12 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2502 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add check to warn user if they
2503 are trying to mke2fs the whole disk. (/dev/hda
2506 Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2508 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
2509 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
2510 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
2511 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
2512 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
2514 Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2516 * dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to
2519 Mon Oct 30 20:21:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2521 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a
2522 stupid typo which caused coredumps in some cases.
2524 Thu Oct 26 12:05:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2526 * Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed.
2528 Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
2530 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
2531 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
2532 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
2534 Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2536 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
2539 Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2541 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
2542 function to determine if the device is mounted.
2544 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
2545 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
2546 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
2547 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
2549 Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2551 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
2552 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
2553 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
2556 Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2565 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
2567 Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2569 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
2570 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
2571 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
2574 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
2576 Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
2578 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
2579 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the
2580 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
2582 Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2584 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
2585 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
2586 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
2587 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
2590 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
2591 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
2592 alloca is not portable!
2594 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
2595 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
2598 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
2600 Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
2602 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
2605 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
2607 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
2608 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
2610 Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
2612 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
2613 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
2615 Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2617 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
2619 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
2620 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
2622 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
2624 Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2626 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
2627 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
2628 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
2629 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
2631 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
2632 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
2633 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
2634 statically sized buffer.
2635 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
2636 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
2638 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
2639 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
2640 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
2641 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
2642 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
2644 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
2645 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
2646 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
2647 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
2650 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
2651 support separate compilation directories.
2653 Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
2655 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
2656 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
2657 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
2658 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
2660 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
2661 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
2662 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
2663 very large partition.
2665 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
2666 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
2667 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
2669 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
2670 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
2671 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
2672 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
2673 ioctl, which most do.)
2675 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
2676 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
2677 during 0.5b development.)
2679 Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
2681 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
2682 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
2683 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
2684 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
2687 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
2688 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
2689 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
2691 Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
2693 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
2695 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
2696 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
2697 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
2699 Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2701 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
2703 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
2705 Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
2707 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
2708 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
2709 all partitions should be checked.
2711 Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
2713 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
2716 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
2719 Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2721 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
2722 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
2724 Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2726 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
2728 Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
2730 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
2733 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
2735 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
2737 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
2739 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
2741 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
2743 Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2745 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
2746 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
2747 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
2748 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
2749 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
2751 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
2752 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
2753 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
2754 statistics if necessary.
