1 2005-05-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
3 * blkid.c (main): Use an int instead of an char to store the
4 return value from getopt() for better portability on
5 systems where char types are unsigned. (Addresses
6 Sourceforge Bug: #1180585)
8 2005-05-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
10 * badblocks.c (main), mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix error messages by
11 substituting "bad" with "invalid" to avoid confusion with
12 "bad blocks". Thanks to Benno Schulenberg for the patch.
13 (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1189803)
15 * mke2fs.c (test_disk): Fix grammatical error in error message.
16 Thanks to Benno Schulenberg.
18 * mke2fs.c (parse_extended_opts): Print the invalid stride
19 parameter in the error message. Thanks to Benno
22 * fsck.8.in: Fix a few spelling/grammatical errors. Thanks to
25 * filefrag.c (frag_report): Fix so that when the first block to be
26 found is an indirect block, we don't falsely count an
27 extra discontinuity. (Addresses Debian Bug: #307607)
29 2005-04-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
31 * badblocks.8.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, fsck.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix
32 spelling mistakes in man pages. (Addresses Debian Bugs:
33 #304591, #304592, #304594, #304597)
35 2005-04-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
37 * filefrag.c (frag_report): Don't abort filefrag if
38 EXT3_IOC_GETFLAGS ioctl is not supported, so that filefrag
39 can work on non-ext2/3 filesystems, as advertised.
40 (Addresses Debian Bug: #303509)
42 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix minor spelling typo. (Addresses SourceForge
45 2005-03-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
47 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.37
49 2005-03-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
51 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Call ext2fs_write_new_inode() instead of
54 2005-03-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
56 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Use the new e2p_os2string() function
58 2005-03-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
60 * filefrag.c (frag_report): Automatically detect files that are
61 stored using the new experimental file fragments format,
62 and use the non-ext2 algorithm for determing the number of
63 extents. Avoid reporting a false discontinuity if there
64 is a non-allocated block (or extent) at the beginning of
67 2006-02-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
69 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.36
71 2005-02-04 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
73 * filefrag.c (frag_report): In verbose mode, print the first and
74 last block numbers; may be useful for some folks.
76 2005-02-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
78 * tune2fs.c: Define _XOPEN_SOURCE to be 500 to fix compilation
81 2005-01-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
83 * mke2fs.c (main): Only call create_resize_inode if the resize
84 feature is actually enabled.
86 2005-01-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
88 * blkid.c (main, compare_search_type): Make blkid -t work more
89 consistently when the blkid cache file is explicitly set
90 to /dev/null. (Addresses Debian Bug #292425)
92 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Don't use a blocksize greater than 4k, even on
93 2.6 kernels, unless explicitly requested by the user; not
94 all 2.6 kernels (includeing stock 2.6 kernels as of this
95 writing) don't support blocksizes > 4k.
97 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the device size is too big to be expressed
98 using a 1k blocksize, retry with a 4k blocksize.
99 (Addresses Sourceforge bug #1106631)
101 2005-01-26 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
103 * Makefile.in (uninstall): Make sure "make uninstall" removes
104 everything installed by the makefile.
106 * e2image.c (scramble_dir_block): Make sure the unused space
107 in the '.' and '..' directory entries are cleared when
108 e2image -rs is specified.
110 2005-01-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
112 * tune2fs.8.in: Clarified man page about the -c option.
114 2005-01-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
116 * blkid.c (main): Make blkid -t display all devices that match the
117 specified criteria, not just the first one. (Addresses
120 2005-01-20 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
122 * filefrag.c (frag_report): Fix filefrag so that it works
123 correctly with sparse files; unallocated blocks should not
124 be treated as a discontinuity.
126 2005-01-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
128 * mke2fs.c (show_stats, set_os): Interpret OS Creator values for
131 2005-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
133 * e2image.c, e2image.8.in: Add support for the -s option which
134 scrambles directory entries for raw image files.
136 2005-01-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
138 * tune2fs.c: On Solaris, defining _XOPEN_SOURCE inexplicably
139 causes struct timeval to be undefined, breaking system
140 header files left and right. But glibc requires
141 _XOPEN_SOURCE in order for strptime() to be defined. So
142 don't define _XOPEN_SOURCE on Solaris systems.
144 * filefrag.c (frag_report): Applied patch from Francois Petillon
145 (fantec at proxad.net) to avoid a file descriptor leak.
147 2005-01-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
149 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr): Increase the number of spaces reserved
150 for printing block numbers, so we can correctly display
151 block numbers numbers greater than 999,999,999.
152 (Addresses SourceForge bug #1016163)
154 * tune2fs.c (main): When specifying the number of reservered
155 blocks that can only be allocated by root, enforce a 50%
156 limit so that the user can't accidentally make a
157 superblock which e2fsck will think is insane.
159 2005-01-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
161 * fsck.c (PRS): Apply Fedora's e2fsprogs-1.35-progress.patch from
162 e2fsprogs-1.35-11.2. Fixed multiple command-line parsing
163 bugs so that backwards compatibility is maintained, and so
164 that certain command-line options wouldn't be ignored.
166 * mke2fs.c (parse_extended_opts): Rename the -R option to -E. Fix
167 the resize= raid/extended option so it actually works.
168 (The patch from Fedora e2fsprogs-1.35-11.2 claimed it
169 worked, but it was a placebo option, despite the claim
170 that it worked in the usage message.)
172 * e2initrd_helper.c: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
174 * e2image.c (main): Fix gcc -Wall nits. Fix e2image so that
175 e2image -I has an exit code of 0 when it is successful.
177 * mke2fs.c (PRS, parse_r_opts): Use parse_num_blocks() from the
178 e2p library to parse the number of blocks from the command
181 2004-12-23 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
183 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): If reserved GDT blocks are present,
184 display them along with the other filesystem meta blocks.
186 2004-12-22 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
188 * fsck.c (main): Check return from malloc of fsck_path string.
190 2004-12-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
192 * tune2fs.c (parse_time): Fix minor buglet; the parse_time routine
193 should use the passed-in argument, not optarg, even though
194 the two are the same in the case of the current caller of
197 2004-12-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
199 * mke2fs.c: Applied resize inode patch from Andreas Dilger to add
200 support for creating filesystems with reserved space for
203 2004-12-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
205 * Makefile.in: Move strip command to install-strip target.
206 Use Linux-kernel-style makefile output for "make install"
208 * Makefile.in (installdirs): Use $(MKINSTALLDIRS) macro
210 2004-12-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
212 * e2image.8.in: Fix minor glitches in man page.
214 2004-11-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
216 * Makefile.in: Delete e2initrd_helper when doing a make clean.
218 * tune2fs.c: If there is a question mark in the device name,
219 separate out the options to the IO layer, and pass it on
222 * Makefile.in: Use Linux-kernel-style makefile output to make it
223 easier to see errors/warnings.
225 2004-11-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
227 * mke2fs.8.in: Removed the word "destructive" when describing the
228 read-write test, since it can confuse people.
230 2004-10-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
232 * mke2fs.8.in: Add an explanation about why reserved blocks in a
233 filesystem is a good thing.
235 2004-09-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
237 * badblocks.8.in: Document the default block size. (Addresses
240 2004-09-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
242 * mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults): Only use blocksizes > 4k on Linux
243 2.6 and newer systems. (Addresses Debian Bug #271064)
245 2004-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
247 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Avoid double // when listing the
248 root directory, or when there is a trailing '/' in the
249 directory name. (Addresses Debian Bug #272943)
251 * Makefile.in: Make sure /usr/lib is created for when we install
254 2004-09-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
256 * badblocks.c: Use _() around done_string, so that it gets
257 correctly translated. (Addresses Debian Bug #252836)
259 * tune2fs.8.in: Add a description of the .journal file, why it
260 is created, and how e2fsck converts it to an invisible
261 journal. (Addresses Debian Bug #256760)
263 2004-09-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
265 * e2initrd_helper.c: New program which allows initrd scripts to
266 check on the contents of /etc/fstab without (a) needing to
267 mount the root filesystem, and (b) needing /bin/awk in the
268 initrd environment. (Addresses Debian Bug #247775)
270 2004-09-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
272 * tune2fs.8.in: Mention that e2fsck -D might be useful after
273 setting the dir_index filesystem feature. (Addresses
276 2004-07-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
278 * e2image.c, e2image.8.in: Add new option -I which allows the
279 administrator to install an metadata stored in an e2image
280 file to a filesystem. Obviously, this can be very
283 2004-06-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
285 * Makefile.in (mke2fs.static): Add the blkid library to so
286 mke2fs.static builds correctly.

293 (Addresses Debian Bug #241940)
295 2004-04-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
297 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): If the compatibility bitmasks
298 were not modified, don't set the superblock dirty bit.
300 2004-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
302 * Makefile.in: Update the modtime even if subst doesn't need to
303 update the man pages, to avoid always re-running
304 subst, especially since there are no dependencies on these
307 2004-03-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
309 * blkid.c: Remove the partially implemented -p option (it never
310 did anything, but was documented in the man page and the
313 2004-03-20 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
315 * blkid.c (main, print_tags): Add new option -o which allows the
316 user to control the output format of blkid.

323 currently only supported when writing a raw image dump.
324 (Addresses Debian bug #236383)
326 2004-03-04 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
328 * logsave.c (main): Use setsid() to avoid getting killed by init
329 (run_program): Add a newline after reporting the exit code
330 or signal when the program exits.
332 2004-02-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
334 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.35
336 2004-02-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
338 * badblocks.c (main): Change the default number of blocks tested
339 at once from 16 to 64. (Addresses Debian bug #232240)
341 2004-02-26 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
343 * filefrag.c: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
345 * badblocks.c (pattern_fill): Fix bug accidentally added when
346 fixing up gcc -Wall nits. badblocks -t random was not
347 getting handled properly because ~0 needed to be cast to
348 an unsigned long instead of an unsigned char. (Addresses
351 2004-02-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
353 * fsck.c (execute): Use '&&' instead of '&'. (It didn't cause a
354 problem because we got lucky, but let's do things right.
355 Fix from Thomas Woerner at Red Hat.)
357 2004-02-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
359 * filefrag.c: Use #ifdef __linux__ instead of __LINUX__ so that it
360 actually compiles on Linux. (Addresses Debian bug
363 2004-01-31 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
365 * chattr.1.in: Clarify man page.
367 * chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mklost+found.8.in,
368 tune2fs.8.in: List Theodore Ts'o <tytso@alum.mit.edu> as
369 the current maintainer.
371 2004-01-20 root <tytso@mit.edu>
373 * chattr.c (main): Add support for '--' to stop options
374 processing. (Addresses Debian bug #225188).
376 2003-12-26 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
378 * chattr.1.in: Update text indicating the 'c', 's', and 'u'
379 attributes are not currently supported to remove any
380 mention of a specific kernel version. (Addresses Debian
383 * fsck.8.in: Update text describing "standard" options supported
384 by filesystem-specific checkers. (Addresses Debian bug
387 2003-12-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
389 * Makefile.in: Add filefrag program to the list of programs
390 installed in /usr/sbin.

402 util.c: Fix gcc -Wall nitpicks.
404 2003-09-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
406 * tune2fs.c (parse_e2label_options, parse_tune2fs_options,
407 do_findfs): Check the returned name from blkid_get_devname and
408 print an error if the requested LABEL/UUID does not exist.
410 2003-09-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
412 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Use ext2fs_super_and_bgd_loc to
413 determine the locations of the superblock and block group
416 2003-11-20 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
418 * util.c (check_plausibility): Support 2.6 kernel header files,
419 instead of having the build to crash. (Addresses Debian
422 2003-09-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
424 * mke2fs.c (progress_init, progress_update): If the environment
425 variable MKE2FS_SKIP_PROGRESS is set, then don't print out
426 a progress bar; for regression test support.
427 (PRS): If the environment variable MKE2FS_DEVICE_SECTSIZE
428 is set, then override the device sector size. Again for
429 regression test support.
430 (main): If the environment variable MKE2FS_SKIP_CHECK_MSG
431 is set, then skip printing an information messages about
432 when the filesystem will be checked, since this number is
433 random and screws up the regression test expect script.
435 2003-08-31 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
437 * mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults): Fix bug which caused -T largefile or
438 -T largefile4 to core dump due to a division by zero
439 error. (Addressed Debian bug #207082)
441 2003-08-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
443 * dumpe2fs.8.in, e2image.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in,
444 tune2fs.8.in: Adjust description line so that apropos
445 "ext2" or "ext3" will find the man page. (Addresses
448 2003-08-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
450 * badblocks.c (set_o_direct): Add check to make sure the file
451 offset of the device is page aligned. (Addresses Debian
454 * badblocks.c (test_ro, test_rw): Add code to recover after an
455 error so that we continue reading on page-aligned
456 boundaries. (Thanks to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for
459 2003-07-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
461 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.34
463 2003-07-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
465 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add warning if using -j and the blocksize is
466 greater than 4096, since some kernels don't support ext3
467 with large block sizes. (Addresses Debian bug #193773)
469 * badblocks.c (set_o_direct): Remove debugging printf. (Addresses
472 2003-07-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
474 * fsck.c (wait_many): Rename wait_all() to wait_many(), and have
475 new semantics: WAIT_ALL vs. WAIT_ATLEAST_ONE. This fixes
476 a bug where when fsck is waiting for another partition on
477 the same spindle, it spins wasting a lot of CPU.
479 2003-07-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
481 * badblocks.c (do_read, do_write, test_rw): Change the read/write
482 test to honor the -c option (number of blocks at a time).
483 do_read and do_write will try to turn on the O_DIRECT flag
484 if it appears that it is possible to use it. (Addresses
487 * mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults): If sector_size is 0, don't use it to
488 set the blocksize to zero. This causes MD devices to fail
489 since they don't support the BLKSSZGET ioctl. (Addresses
492 2003-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
494 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main): If CONFIG_TESTIO_DEBUG, then use the
497 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Round down the default filesystem size so that
498 it is an even multiple of the page size, to work around
499 buffer cache kernel bug.
501 * badblocks.c: Fix gcc -Wall nitpicks (signed/unsigned type issues)
503 * blkid.c: Fix gcc -Wall nitpicks (missing #include <string.h>)
505 2003-05-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
507 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): If the sector size of the
508 device is larger than the default block size, then use the
509 sector size of the device as the default block size.
511 2003-05-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
513 * badblocks.c: Use an unsigned integer to support 4-byte test
514 patterns with the high bit set. Let the user explicitly
515 specify a random pattern with the argument "random".
517 2003-05-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
519 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Fix minor memory leak with test_rw() is
520 called for multiple passes.
521 (test_nd): Fix bug in chosing randomness for the
522 non-destructive test. We were only using 1 bit of
523 randomness per byte instead of 8 due to a bit-shift bug.
524 Also, initialize the random number generator from the time
525 in main(). Thanks to Thayne Harbaugh for pointing out
528 * badblocks.c, badblocks.8.in: Functional enhancements contributed
529 by Thayne Harbaugh. These patches allow the -t option to
530 control the test pattern(s) used when checking the disk.
531 Test patterns may be specified in all modes (r/w, r/o and
534 2003-05-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
536 * tune2fs.c (main, add_journal_device, remove_journal_device): If
537 --enable-testio-debug is set, then use the test_io manager
538 so we can watch what tune2fs is doing.
540 2003-05-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
542 * uuidgen.c (main): Add setup functions for NLS support.
544 * e2image.c (write_header), mke2fs.c (PRS): Add missing space in
547 * badblocks.c (usage), findsuper.c (main), util.c
548 (parse_journal_opts): Fix typo in usage string.
550 * tune2fs.c (parse_time): Add portability code to work around lack
553 * Makefile.in: Add $(LIBINTL) to the link line so we can support
554 using the internal gettext library.
556 * nls-enable.h: Add #ifndef protection around LOCALEDIR definition.
558 2003-04-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
560 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.33
562 2003-04-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
564 * Makefile.in (uuidgen): Avoid linking lsattr and chattr against
565 libext2fs, and avoid linking blkid against any of the ext2
568 2003-04-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
570 * Makefile.in (fsck): Fsck does not need to linked against the
571 ext2 libraries anymore.
573 2003-04-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
575 * fsck.c (main): Put stdout and stderr into non-buffered mode to
576 avoid cosmetic problems when running fsck under logsave.
578 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Avoid printing the version banner for mke2fs if
579 the -q option is specified. (Addresses Debian bug #172716)
581 * logsave.c: Add support for the -a option (only partially
582 implemented previously). Always log the command-line and
583 start and stop time to the log file. Add support for the
584 -s option, which skips text bracketed between control-A
585 and control-B characters.
587 2003-04-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
589 * logsave.c: New program which saves the output of a command in a
590 log file, even if the containing directory hasn't been
591 mounted yet (in which case the it saves the output in
592 memory until it can write out the logfile).
594 2003-04-11 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
596 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the argument to -b is negative, treat it as a
597 minimum blocksize. (Feature requested by EVMS developers
598 for mainframe DASD's that do not support 1k blocksizes.)
600 * mke2fs.8.in: Document the -g option. (Addresses Debian bug #188318)
602 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug where mke2fs was incorrectly checking
603 the argument to the -g option, if the default block size
604 is used. (Addresses Debian bug #188319)
606 * tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Document the dir_index filesystem
607 feature which can be used with the -O option.
609 2003-04-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
611 * fsck.c (parse_fstab_line, interpret_type, fsck_device, ignore,
612 main): Don't evaluate the filesystem type when loading the
613 fstab file, since that might cause fsck to hang trying to
614 read from a floppy disk. (Addresses Debian bug #187812)
615 Add tmpfs and devpts to filesystems that should be
616 ignored, and add jfs, reseirfs, and xfs as filesystems
617 types where we should complain if we can't find the fsck
618 program for that filesystem type.
620 2003-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
622 * badblocks.c (bb_output): Flush output to the badblocks
623 output file as bad blocks are discovered.
625 2003-03-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
627 * chattr.1.in: Clarified the description of the 't' (no tail)
628 attribute. (Addresses Debian bug #185945)

637 symbolic links in the raw image file.
639 2003-03-06 <tytso@mit.edu>
641 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options, parse_e2label_options): Allow
642 the device name to be specified using LABEL=xxx or
643 UUID=xxx, since we're including the blkid library anyway.
644 (Addresses Debian bugs #166048, #179671)
646 * tune2fs.8.in, chattr.1.in: Minor man page fixes (Addresses
647 Debian bugs #175233, #175113, and #170497)
649 2003-03-06 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
651 * Makefile.in (DEPLIBS_BLKID): Use DEPLIBUUID, not LIBUUID to
652 avoid depending on -lsocket on Solaris.
654 2003-03-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
656 * fsck.c, util.c, tune2fs.c, Makefile.in: Use the blkid library
657 instead of the specialized functions in
658 get-device-by-label.c and fstype.c.
660 * base_device.c (base_device): Take a const char* as an argument.
662 * blkid.c: Remove deprecated -d option,
664 2003-02-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

689 2002-11-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
691 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Don't enable the dir_index feature by default;
692 the ext2 code on 2.4 kernels (but not 2.2 kernels, and not
693 the 2.4 ext3 code) accidentally had the backwards
694 compatibility support for dir_indexing removed.
696 2002-11-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
698 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.32
700 2002-11-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

712 2002-11-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
714 * chattr.c, chattr.1.in: Add support for a new inode flag, which
715 is to be used for indicating the top of directory
716 hierarchies for the Orlov block allocator.
718 2002-10-31 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
720 * get_device_by_label.c (read_partitions): Pay attention to
721 partitions returned in /proc/partitions that begin with
722 with the string "lvm".

734 erreoneously (and needlessly).
736 2002-10-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
738 * fsck.c (main): Fix bug reported by Gregory Mutt. Multiple
739 filesystems explicitly specified on the command line were
740 not being checked in parallel, due to a logic bug
741 introduced in to support the FSCK_MAX_INST environment
744 2002-10-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
746 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc, main): Make dumpe2fs more robust so that
747 if there is an error reading the block/inode bitmaps, it
748 will still print out the contents of the block group
751 2002-10-20 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
753 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc), mke2fs.c (PRS), e2image.c

757 2002-10-15 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
759 * tune2fs.8.in, tune2fs.c (update_mntopts, main): Add new option
760 'o' which allows the system administrator to specify
761 default mount options.
763 2002-10-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
765 * get_device_by_label.c (read_partitions): Use a 16k buffer to
766 read in /proc/partitions in one go.
768 * badblocks.c, fsck.c, fstype.c, get_device_by_label.c,
769 tune2fs.c: Fix gcc -Wall nits.

784 adds support for reiserfs volumes for LABEL= and UUID=
787 * badblocks.c (main): Appled sourceforge patch #600451, which
788 addresses sourceforge bug #600388, by AEF. This allows

790 CD-ROM's, DVD's, etc.
792 2002-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
794 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Clarify manual pages about using the
795 caret ('^') character to negate feature sets when using
796 the -O option. Define the has_journal feature to avoid
797 confusion about what ^has_journal means.
799 2001-09-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
801 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.29
803 2002-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
805 * fsck.c: If the bone-headed user enters the filename twice, the
806 -R option which skips the root filesystem will skip all of
807 them. (Addresses Debian bug #159423). Note! This is not
808 a precedent for dealing intelligently with any other kind
809 of doubled entry in /etc/fstab!
811 2002-09-22 root <tytso@mit.edu>
813 * mke2fs.c (main): Enable directory indexing by default.
815 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Allow directory indexing flag to
816 be set. If so, set the default hash to be TEA, and
817 initialize the hash seed to a random value.
819 2002-09-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
821 * get_device_by_label.c (init_lvm): Fix bug which caused

827 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.28
829 2002-08-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
831 * findfs.8.in: New man page.
833 * tune2fs.c (do_findfs): If tune2fs is executed with argv[0] set
834 to findfs, then it will interpret argv[1] as one of
835 LABEL=xxx or UUID=xxx and translate it to a device name.
837 * get_device_by_label.c (uuidcache_init): Moved code which
838 interpreted /proc/partitions into read_partitions(), and
839 then added support for interpreting /proc/evms/volumes in
840 read_evms(). uuidcache_init() calls both read_evms() and
843 * mke2fs.8.in: Add a common usage of the -n option. (Addresses
846 * fsck.c (main): If no filesystems are specified on the command
847 line, default to -As. (Addresses Debian Bug #153102)
849 * badblocks.8.in: Clarify why it's bad to do a non-destructive
850 test on a r/o mounted filesystem. (Addresses Debian Bug
853 * chattr.1.in: Document the compression attribute flags E, X, and
854 Z, and explain that chattr can't set or set these flags.
855 (Addresses Debian Bug #151990)
857 * fsck.8.in: Fix typo in man page, and clarified text regarding
858 options specifiers for -t option. (Addresses Debian bug
861 * mke2fs.c (main): If there is a problem zeroing blocks at the end
862 of the filesystem, don't abort mke2fs. Addresses Debian
865 2002-08-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
867 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Check for an extended
868 attribute block before checking for has_valid_blocks.
870 2002-07-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
872 * fsck.8.in: Document new fsck exit code, FSCK_CANCELED.
874 * fsck.c: Trap SIGINT and SIGTERM, and relay it to all of the
875 child fsck processes.
877 2002-07-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
879 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Clear the buffer *after* testing for the
880 BSD sector label. Otherwise the first 512 bytes don't get
881 zapped. (Addresses Debian bug #147256.)
883 2002-07-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
885 * mke2fs.8.in: Cleaned up man page, and made it a bit more
886 OS-agnostic. Addresses Debian bug #144621. Hope this
887 makes the Hurd whiners happy. :-)
889 2002-06-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
891 * chattr.1.in: Fix man page typo. (Addresses Debian bug #141938)

900 one inode per block for large blocksizes.
902 2002-05-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
904 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Determine the page size using sysconf() at
905 runtime, instead of using the Linux system header files.
907 2002-05-16 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
909 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Allow blocksizes larger than 4k to be specified,
910 with warning printed and the user questioned if blocksize
911 is larger than the system's page size according to the
912 Linux kernel header files. Added better checking for
913 valid inode sizes, and again print a warning message if
914 using a large inode size (since most kernels today don't
917 2002-04-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
919 * fsck.8.in: Fix typo in man page.
921 2002-03-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
923 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.27
925 2002-03-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
927 * mke2fs.c: Check for the BSD disklabel on all architectures, and
928 also check the byte-swapped magic number as well.
930 2002-03-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
932 * mke2fs.c: Output warnings to stderr
933 (From Philipp Thomas <pthomas@suse.de>)
935 * base_device.c (main): Fix gcc -Wall complaints in debug code.
937 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Don't erase BSD disklabels on Alpha.
938 (From Thorsten Kukuk <kukuk@suse.de>)
940 2002-03-04 Philipp Thomas <pthomas@suse.de>
942 * chattr.c (main), fsck.c (main), mke2fs.c (main), findsuper.c
943 (main), dumpe2fs.c (main), lsattr.c (main), partinfo.c (main),
944 tune2fs.c (main), mklost+found.c (main), badblocks.c
945 (main), e2image.c (main): Newer libintl needs LC_CTYPE to
946 be set in addition to LC_MESSAGES.
948 2002-02-25 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
950 * mke2fs.c: Add check for mkfs.ext3 and create a journal in
953 2002-02-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
955 * Makefile.in (install): Install hard links for man pages for
956 mkfs.ext2 and mkfs.ext3. Also install hard link for
957 mkfs.ext3. Remove any compressed man pages before
958 installing the man pages.
960 2002-02-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
962 * badblocks.8.in: Clarify man page's description of the -f option
964 2002-02-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
966 * get_device_by_label.c: Since on non-STDC compilers, we define
967 away const, include get_device_by_label.h after we include
970 * Makefile.in (base_device): Remove use of $<, which is
973 2002-02-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
975 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.26

979 * fsck.c (interpret_type): Allow filesystems types of the form
982 * fstype.c (identify_fs): Add support for only searching for a
983 specified list of filesystems. Also add support for
984 identifying reiserfs filesystems.
986 2002-01-29 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
988 * fsck.c: Allow the number of outstanding processes fs-specific
989 fsck programs to be capped via the FSCK_MAX_INST
990 envrionment variable.
992 * fsck.8.in: Document all of the environment variables used by fsck.
994 2002-01-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
996 * tune2fs.8.in: Document the -f flag to tune2fs.
998 2002-01-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1000 * badblocks.c (main): Open the device as O_RDWR if possible, since
1001 fsync() isn't guaranteed to work if the filesystem is
1004 2001-12-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1006 * tune2fs.8.in, tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options, main): Add
1007 support for new option, -T, which allows the user to set
1008 the last checked time on the filesystem.
1010 2001-12-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1012 * mke2fs.c (main, test_disk): If two -c options are
1013 specified, then perform a destructive read/write test
1016 * mke2fs.8.in: Document the double -c option; also encourage users
1017 to use -c instead of the -l/-L options since it's too hard
1018 for users to get things like the blocksize parameter correct.
1020 * badblocks.8.in: Encourage users to use the -c option in mke2fs
1021 and e2fsck instead of running badblocks directly.
1023 * mke2fs.c (create_lost_and_found): The lost+found directory is
1024 now created with 0700 permissions, since files which get
1025 dropped into that directory may have come from a protected
1026 directory, and the system administrator may not deal with
1027 immediately. (Addresses Debian bug #118443)
1029 2001-12-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1031 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: Move linux/jbd.h to
1032 ext2fs/kernel-jbd.h, to avoid using the system header
1033 file version of hbd.h when using diet glibc (since it
1034 forcibly adds /usr/include to the beginning of the
1035 include search path.)
1037 2001-12-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1039 * get_device_by_label.c (init_lvm): Add support to read out
1040 information from the LVM proc hierarchy, so that the UUID
1041 cache can search the LVM logical volumes for UUID's,
1044 2001-12-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1046 * dumpe2fs.c (list_bad_blocks): Change to not die if the listing
1047 of the bad blocks can't be found. Slimmed down dumpe2fs
1048 by eliminating duplicate code paths.
1050 2001-12-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1052 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc), fsck.c (fs_match),
1053 get_device_by_label.c (get_label_uuid),
1054 mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults, zap_sector, PRS),
1055 tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device, update_feature_set),
1056 util.c (figure_journal_size), util.h: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
1058 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Fix gcc -Wall nits, and use
1059 the stashed inode functions to optimize away system calls.
1061 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: linux/jfs.h has been renamed to
1064 2001-12-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1066 * dumpe2fs.c: Don't print the offset to the bitmap and inode table
1067 if it's negative. Also did some generalized code clean up
1068 to slim it down the support of the -x option.
1070 2001-11-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1072 * e2image.8.in: Fix cut-and-paste typo (Addresses Debian bug
1075 2001-11-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1077 * util.c (check_plausibility): Use stat64 if available so that
1078 check_plausibility() works with files > 2GB.
1080 2001-11-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1082 * chattr.1.in: Update the man page to document the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL
1085 * chattr.c: Add support for the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL flag.
1087 * fsck.c (interpret_type): If the "auto" type is specified, make
1088 sure interpet_device() is called so that device
1089 specifications which use LABEL= or UUID= are translated
1090 into a real device name.
1092 2001-10-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1094 * e2image.c (output_meta_data_blocks): Optimize away excess
1095 lseek() calls when creating a sparse file. Fewer system
1096 calls are a good thing. <g>
1098 2001-10-07 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
1100 * mke2fs.c (main): Always exit with non-zero code in case of error.
1102 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Check that buffer allocation succeeded.
1104 2001-09-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
1106 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.25
1108 2001-09-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1110 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_inode): Remove dead code that wasn't
1113 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect the fact that adding or
1114 removing a journal doesn't require running e2fsck.
1116 2001-09-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1118 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Allocate sufficient space for
1121 2001-09-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
1123 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24a
1125 2001-08-31 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>

1133 2001-08-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1135 * badblocks.8.in: Fix spelling typo. (Addresses Debian bug #110621)
1137 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Now takes a third argument, which is how
1138 many sectors to clear out. Fixed up Andreas's patch to
1139 make it a bit more efficient/compact.
1141 2001-08-30 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
1143 * mke2fs.c (main): Zap the second sector of the disk, along with
1144 any sectors in the same filesystem block after the superblock.
1145 The latter will remove (for example) swapspace signatures
1146 on 4kB+ blocksize filesystems. Also when zeroing the "end"
1147 of the filesystem don't actually zero the start of a very
1148 small device (less than 64 blocks).
1150 2001-08-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1152 * fsck.c (main): Make version display consistent with the other
1155 * lsattr.c, chattr.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c,
1156 mklost+found.c: Remove EXT2FS_VERSION from the version
1157 display, since it only confuses people.
1159 2001-08-18 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1161 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): Remove unused variable
1164 * get_device_by_label.h: Define function prototype for
1165 copy_string(), since this was moved from fsck.c to
1166 get_device_by_label.c by Andreas's BK changeset.
1168 2001-08-17 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
1170 * get_device_by_label.[ch], fsck.c, util.c: New interpret_spec()
1171 function in get_device_by_label.c to allow the use of
1172 UUID= or LABEL= when creating filesystems which use external
1173 journal dev (e.g. mke2fs -J device=LABEL=<journal_label>).
1175 * tune2fs.c: Use superblock s_journal_uuid to locate an external
1176 journal device instead of s_journal_dev when removing it.
1177 Allow opening journal devices to set the label and UUID
1178 in the ext2 superblock.
1180 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Free journal_device after use, as it is
1181 malloc'd in interpret spec.
1183 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1185 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.23
1187 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1189 * tune2fs.c: Make sure that error messages are sent to stderr, and
1190 normal messages are sent to stdout. (Addresses Debian bug
1193 * fsck.8.in: Fixed error in synopsis of the man page.
1195 * fsck.c (check_all): Don't bother to interpret a device where the
1196 pass number is zero. (Addresses Debian bug #106696.)
1197 (main): Print a warning message if there are no devices to
1198 be checked. (Addresses Debian bug #107458.)
1200 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Handle -O and -s options in line in the getopt
1201 loop, so that -s and -O handling are a bit more intuitive.
1202 (Not that they should be mixed anyway; -s is deprecated.)
1204 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Give an error if -O is
1205 specified more than once.
1207 2001-08-10 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1209 * mke2fs.8.in: Slim down text describing the -O flag to remove
1210 text that erroneously implied that all features
1211 (including compatible flags) aren't compatible with older
1214 2001-08-09 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1216 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug pointed out by Christopher Niessen; if
1217 mke2fs -O none is specified, the sparse_super feature
1218 should not be present.
1220 * e2image.c, e2image.8.in: Add support for raw image files.
1222 2001-08-04 Andreas Dilger <root@lynx.adilger.int>
1224 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Put check for JOURNAL_DEV before sparse_option,
1225 so we don't set the sparse superblock flag on journal devices.
1227 2001-07-31 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1229 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, remove_journal_inode): If
1230 removing an in-filesystem journal, clear out the journal
1231 inode and update the filesystem accounting structures so
1232 we don't have to run e2fsck to clean up after ourselves
1234 2001-07-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1236 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Don't require a forced fsck if
1237 we're removing an external journal from a filesystem.
1239 2001-07-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1241 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the blocksize is not specified and the
1242 journal device is specified, use it to determine the
1243 blocksize of the new filesystem.
1245 2001-07-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1247 * fsck.8.in: Add much more explicit language documenting how the
1248 fs_passno field in /etc/fstab is handled. (Addresses
1251 2001-07-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1253 * fstype.c (identify_fs): New file which looks at the superblock
1254 of the filesystem to determines its type.
1256 * fsck.c (fsck_device, ignore, interpret_type): Call identify_fs
1257 if the type specified in /etc/fstab is "auto".
1259 2001-06-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1261 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.22
1263 2001-06-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1265 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.21
1267 2001-06-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1269 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Remove unneeded test in when creating a external
1272 2001-06-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1274 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (print_check_message): Move
1275 the message which displays how often the filesystem will
1276 be checked from mke2fs into a utility subroutine. Then
1277 cause tune2fs to call that function to display the message
1278 after adding a journal to a filesystem.
1280 * mke2fs.8.in: Add manual page fixups and explanation for why it's
1281 good to check filesystems periodically from Andreas
1284 * Makefile.in: Don't build e2image if --disable-imager is
1285 specified to configure.
1287 2001-06-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1289 * dumpe2fs.c: Use WORDS_BIGENDIAN to determine whether or not
1290 we're (not) using i386 byte order.
1292 * dumpe2fs.c, mke2fs.c: Stop using the compatibility badblocks
1293 function, and use the ext2fs_badblocks_* functions
1296 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fixed bug which can cause fsck
1297 to core dump if there are a mix of devices with standard
1298 and non-standard names. (Addresses Debian bug #100559)
1300 2001-06-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1302 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Don't use _FILE_BITS_OFFSET method of using
1303 the 64-bit function, since this changes the expected size
1304 of struct dirent. Instead use lseek64 explicitly.
1306 2001-06-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1308 * Makefile.in: Move include/asm/types.h.in to
1309 lib/ext2fs/ext2_types.h.in.
1311 2001-05-25 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1313 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.20
1315 2001-05-25 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1317 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Fix capitalization typo.
1319 2001-05-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1321 * partinfo.c (main): Use unsigned long instead of long when
1322 querying the size of a device using the BLKGETSIZE ioctl,
1323 to remove the 1TB limit (and turn it into a 2TB limit :-)
1325 * fsck.c (compile_fs_type): Fix I18N compilation bug: use N_()
1326 instead of _() to initialize static variables.
1328 2001-05-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1330 * fsck.8.in, fsck.c (compile_fs_type, fs_type, ignore): Fix
1331 handling of -t option to be more intuitive. Also add
1332 support for the Mandrake -t loop hack. See man page
1333 for description of new -t semantics.
1335 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fix bug in
1336 device_already_active which could cause infinite loops if
1337 we don't know the base_device of the filesystem.
1339 * fsck.c: Make sure all exit status codes returned by fsck are
1340 consistent with the error codes documented in the fsck man
1343 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1345 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c, findsuper.c,
1346 lsattr.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c:
1347 Change location of ext2_fs.h to be ext2fs/ext2_fs.h
1349 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other clarifications suggested
1352 2001-05-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
1354 * mke2fs.c: don't zap the superblock if we are running with noaction!
1355 Zap the end of the device to remove stale RAID superblocks.
1357 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1359 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Clean up some printf messages.
1361 * fsck.8.in, mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other
1362 clarifications suggested by Andreas Dilger.
1364 2001-05-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1366 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Integrated changes from Andreas Dilger which
1367 make the revision superblock field be set to the correct
1368 value depending on if superblock features are set.
1370 2001-05-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1372 * fsck.c (PRS): fsck -? now prints the usage message.
1374 * badblocks.8.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in,
1375 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo; removed
1376 excess "anonymous" in the AVAILABILITY section.
1378 * chattr.1.in, lsattr.1.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update URL location of
1381 2001-05-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1383 * util.c: Use specific check for HAVE_SYS_STAT_H.
1385 2001-05-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1387 * fsck.8.in: Add explicit language to describe how options get
1388 passed to filesystem-specific checkers.
1390 * badblocks.8.in: Fixed man page to describe the first optional
1391 parameter to badblocks as last_block, instead of
1392 num_blocks. (Debian bug #87216)
1394 * badblocks.c: Change the blocks_count variable to be last_count,
1395 which is a more accurate description of the variable.
1397 2001-05-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1399 * e2image.8.in: New manual page
1401 * badblocks.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in mklost+found.8.in,
1402 tune2fs.8.in: Update location of e2fsprogs to be
1403 http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net.
1405 * dumpe2fs.c (main): Add new flag, -i, which will allow dumpe2fs
1406 to dump out the filesystem statistics from an ext2 image
1409 * e2image.c (main): Fix format of e2image to be easier to be parse
1412 2001-05-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1414 * fsck.c (device_already_active): If we're not able to determine
1415 the base device, we should assume that the device is
1416 already active in order to force serialization.
1418 2001-04-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1420 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Interpret -c 0 as -c -1 (for
1421 backwards compatibility with older kernels). -c 0 makes
1422 more sense to users.
1424 2001-04-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1426 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): If the force flag is given,
1427 tune2fs will remove the journal device information from
1428 the superblock even if tune2fs failed to open the journal
1429 device or otherwise other failed to remove the filesystem
1430 from journal device.
1431 (parse_tune2fs_options): Fix -j option so that it works
1432 (it was missing the open_flag being set to EXT2_FLAG_RW).
1433 (main): Accept "-U clear" to set a null UID.
1435 2001-04-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1437 * mke2fs.8.in: Manual page cleanups. Temporarily comment out the
1438 documentation for the extern journal device support.
1440 * mke2fs.c (usage): Remove the deprecated -s option from the usage
1443 2001-04-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1445 * mke2fs.c (main): Add better explanation about when the
1446 filesystem will be checked after it is created.
1448 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Remove code which allowed a bare
1449 number to be treated as a journal size.
1451 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Add newlines to error messages so that they
1454 * mke2fs.c (create_journal_dev): Call
1455 ext2fs_create_journal_superblock() first, so if it's going
1456 to error out, the user finds out before waiting for the
1457 entire device to get zero'ed.
1459 2001-03-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1461 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Change man paegs to document that the
1462 journal must be bewteen 1024 and 102,400 file system
1465 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Change to use figure_journal_size()
1467 * util.c, util.h (figure_journal_size): Change
1468 journal_default_size into routine which also converts the
1469 requested journal size into filesystem blocks and does
1470 bounds checking to make sure the journal is sized
1471 reasonably. Renamed function to journal_default_size.
1472 (parse_journal_opts): Remove bounds check for the journal
1473 size, since this is now done in figure_journal_size, and
1474 based on the number of filesystem blocks, as opposed to
1475 using the absolute size of the journal.
1477 2001-02-17 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1479 * mke2fs.c (main): Flush out the "creating journal" message.
1480 Also handle the case where the default journal size
1481 returns zero blocks == no journal. Print out how often
1482 the filesystem will be checked.
1484 2001-02-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1486 * e2image.c (main): Add code to write the e2image header.
1488 2001-02-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1490 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect that 2.0.39 supports
1493 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix fencepost error when calculating the
1494 range of inode table blocks. Add '0x' to values printed
1497 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Define the _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE to force the
1498 use of the LFS so that lstat will work on large files.
1500 2001-01-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1502 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Change user
1503 interface so that -J is used to specify journal options,
1504 and -j is used to request creation of a journal using
1505 default values. (This is a UI change, but we haven't done
1506 a formal release, and it makes things much more consistent
1507 with the rest of the options out there.)
1509 * tune2fs.c: Add support for removing a filesystem from an
1510 external journal; we correctly remove the filesystem UUID
1511 from the external journal's filesystem list.
1513 * util.h, util.c (journal_default_size): New function from Andreas
1514 Dilger to calculate an appropriate default journal size
1515 given a filesystem size.
1517 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Allow the creation of a journal as
1520 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Use s_first_data_block
1521 to find the correct block to read the journal superblock.
1523 2001-01-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1525 * tune2fs.c: Changed the external journal code so that it simply
1526 adds a filesystem to a journal; the journal must have bene
1527 created via "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX".
1529 * mke2fs.c: Add support for creating an external journal device by
1530 using the command "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX". Also
1531 changed the external journal code so -j device=/dev/XXX it
1532 simply adds a filesystem to that journal; the journal must
1533 have been created via separate step.
1535 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Add support for dumping
1536 information about an external journal device.
1538 2001-01-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1540 * mke2fs.c: Add new filesystem types, largefile and largefile4,
1541 for those filesystems whose average inode size is 1MB and
1542 4MB, respectively. Allow the inode ratio specified to be
1543 has high as 4MB. Make the s_max_mount_count vary between
1544 20 and 40, to avoid needing to check all of the
1545 filesystems at the same time. Add some random jitter to
1546 the s_max_mount_count value so that we avoid checking all
1547 of the filesystems at the same time when we reboot.
1549 * tune2fs.8.in: Add description of the -j option.
1551 * tune2fs.c (add_journal): Minor fixes from Andreas Dilger. Flush
1552 stdout after printing in-progress message.
1553 (main): Exit with status code 1 if we failed to determine
1554 the mount status of the device.
1556 2001-01-11 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1558 * e2image.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c,
1559 uuidgen.c: Fix gcc -Wall complaints, including one bug in
1560 tune2fs caused by a block automatic shadowing version of
1561 the variable we really wanted to use, which broke the
1562 logic testing to see if the filesystem was mounted.
1564 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use ext2fs_sync_device() to sync and
1567 * mke2fs.c: Change ino_t to ext2_ino_t.
1569 2001-01-08 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1571 * Makefile.in, tune2fs.c: Move e2label functionality into tune2fs,
1572 using argv[0] as a dispatch. This allows e2label to be
1573 (more) safely used on mounted filesystems.
1575 2001-01-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1577 * get_device_by_label.h (get_volume_label_by_spec): Add function
1580 * get_device_by_label.c: Use string_copy() instead of strdup() for
1581 portability's sake. Fix a few other gcc -Wall
1584 * fsck.c (string_copy): Export string_copy() extern.
1586 * badblocks.c: Fix various gcc -Wall complaints, including
1587 an incorrect reference to sync in flush_bufs().
1589 2001-01-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1591 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, add_journal): Moved to separate
1592 functions. Added ability to add and remove the journal
1593 while the filesystem is live. Added support for setting
1594 a time-based UUID. Removed zero-initialized static variables.
1596 * mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (strcasecmp, proceed_question,
1597 check_plausibility, parse_journal_opts, check_mount):
1598 Moved functions to util.c so they can be used by tune2fs.
1600 * mke2fs.c (main): Change ext2fs_add_journal_fs() to
1601 ext2fs_add_journal_inode() to reflect function renaming.
1603 2001-01-01 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1605 * mke2fs.c, e2image.c: Removed references to struct ext2fs_sb to
1606 struct ext2_super_block.
1608 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support to allow HAS_JOURNAL flag to be
1609 cleared, but only if the filesystem is unmounted or
1610 mounted read-only. Changed struct ext2fs_sb to struct
1611 ext2_super_block, and cleaned up old code which was needed
1612 for old versions of ext2_fs.h (not needed since we're
1613 using our own version now).
1615 2000-12-31 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1617 * fsck.c (check_all): Call interpet_device to resolve LABEL= and
1618 UUID= right away so that the device_already_active() logic
1619 can do the right thing. Also cleaned up the the root
1620 filesystem logic checking code; fixed up a logic bug with
1621 the parallel_root option.
1623 * lsattr.1.in: Add pointer to chattr man page for definition of
1624 the file attributes.
1626 * lsattr.c (list_attributes): Minor cleanup to smooth out logic
1627 flow. Also removed static initialized variables to zero.
1629 * chattr.c (decode_arg, get_flag): Use a table-driven method for
1630 decoding the ext2 file flags character options. Add
1631 support for the journaled data flag.
1633 * chattr.1.in: Document the -j/+j/=j flag.
1635 2000-12-30 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1637 * mke2fs.8.in: Minor clarity edit.
1639 * mke2fs.c (usage): Document the -j option.
1640 (main): Print the number blocks used in the journal.
1642 2000-12-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1644 * base_device.c (base_device): Add support for DAC960 device
1647 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Handle the case where
1648 base_device doesn't know how to interpret the device name,
1649 instead of core dumping.
1651 2000-12-09 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1653 * mke2fs.c (main, parse_journal_opts): Add support for creating V1
1654 superblocks. We now pass in a journal_flags field to the
1655 journal creation routines for this purpose.
1657 * mke2fs.c: Remove zero initializers to save a few bytes from the
1658 executable image. (Are we excited yet?)
1660 * findsuper.c: And non-subtle copyright licensing restriction to
1661 get Yann to remove this program from the Debian package. :-)
1663 2000-12-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1665 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Change to use new version of
1666 base_device() which now returns dynamically allocated
1669 * base_device.c (base_device): New version moved from fsck.c which
1670 now understands ugly devfs names. (Debian bug #65181)
1672 * base_device.tst: Test case for base_device.c
1674 2000-12-02 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1676 * fsck.8.in: Add clarification that filesystems with a fs_passno
1677 of 0 are skipped with the -A option. (Debian wishlist/bug
1680 * fsck.c (wait_one): When we let a new fsck take control of the
1681 console to display the progress bar, set FLAG_PROGRESS to
1682 so that fsck knows not to start new processes during an
1683 fsck pass with the progress bar. (Should fix debian bug
1686 * tune2fs.8.in: Add clarifying statement about converting user and
1687 group names to uid's before storing them in the
1688 superblock. (Debian bug #67446)
1690 2000-11-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1692 * mke2fs.c(main): Expand the -j option so that it parses
1693 option=argument style options, and add support for
1694 creating filesystems with external journals.
1696 * mke2fs.8.in: Document new syntax for the -j option.
1698 2000-11-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1700 * e2image.c, Makefile.in: New program which saves ext2 metadata to
1701 a file for people who need a last-ditch saving throw.
1703 2000-10-24 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1705 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Applied Andreas Dilger's patch to make the -r -s
1706 handling a bit more sane. (Even though -s is deprecated
1709 * get_device_by_label.c: Apply fix from Erik Troan to support 16
1712 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Add a special case check for MD
1713 devices, so we don't try to check them in parallel with
1716 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main), mke2fs.8.in: Add support for the -j
1717 option, which builds an ext2/3 filesystem with an ext3
1720 2000-10-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
1722 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix really stupid typo which gcc 2.95
1725 2000-09-12 <tytso@valinux.com>
1727 * fsck.c: Add base device definitions for hd[e-h], for those
1728 systems with four IDE interfaces.
1730 2000-09-11 <tytso@valinux.com>
1732 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix error message printed when zap_sector
1735 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fixed format string bug when printing
1736 the inode table location in non-hex format.
1738 2000-08-20 <tytso@valinux.com>
1740 * get_device_by_label.c: Add call to ext2fs_find_block_device if
1741 we can't find the device using the name given by
1742 /proc/partitions. (This can happen if devfs is compiled
1743 into the kernel, but not mounted.)
1745 2000-06-27 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolabs.com>
1747 * dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option
1748 to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for
1749 location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors
1751 * mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict
1753 2000-08-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
1755 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general
1757 (main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to
1758 avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.
1760 2000-07-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1762 * get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in
1763 fsck, and speed up fsck -a.
1765 2000-07-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
1767 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.19
1769 2000-07-13 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1771 * badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options
1772 are mutually exclusive.
1774 * badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the
1775 block count must be specified if the starting block is to
1776 be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in
1779 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing
1780 variable before going into the write verification loop.
1781 This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block
1782 on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal
1783 while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The
1784 num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get
1785 clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no
1786 longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup
1789 * badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size).
1790 Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option
1791 to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing
1792 the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf
1795 2000-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1797 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as
1798 fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of
1799 the progress bar display logic.
1801 * tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if
1802 max_mount_count is negative.
1804 * tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be
1805 negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a
1808 * fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation
1809 for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root
1810 privileges if the partitions need to be scanned.
1811 Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for
1812 removeable devices such as floppies if there are any
1813 LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab.
1815 * badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem
1816 is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive
1817 test. This can be overriden using the new -f option.
1819 * badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the
1820 blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly
1821 document the start-block parameter. Added documentation
1824 * badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be
1825 optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the
1826 device as a default.
1828 2000-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1830 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that
1831 it's more obviously what's going on. Fixed a few
1832 potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the
1833 old, overly complicated logic.
1834 (flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and
1835 always forces a sync; this is required before it's really
1836 safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels.
1838 2000-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1840 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
1841 filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
1842 size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
1843 argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.
1845 2000-05-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1847 * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
1848 or LABEL= specification is given.
1850 * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
1851 the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
1852 (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
1853 to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
1854 that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
1855 feature for the forseeable future, either.)
1857 * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
1858 proceed_question that was busted due to the
1859 internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if
1860 proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
1861 cleared of the previous question's newline.
1863 Thu Apr 6 17:50:25 2000 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@signal.thunk.org>
1865 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't
1866 support fdatasync().
1868 2000-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1870 * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
1871 uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
1872 manually define optarg and optind.
1874 * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
1877 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
1878 now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
1879 longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
1880 (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
1882 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
1883 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
1885 chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
1887 2000-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1890 * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
1892 * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
1894 * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
1896 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
1897 blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
1899 * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
1900 Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
1901 #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
1902 file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
1905 * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
1906 The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
1907 Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.
1909 2000-02-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1911 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
1912 fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1913 mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
1914 uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
1915 suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
1917 * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
1918 Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
1919 removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
1920 clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
1921 code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
1922 was interrupted at the wrong time.)
1924 * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
1926 2000-02-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1928 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
1929 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
1930 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
1931 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
1932 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
1934 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
1935 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
1937 * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h
1939 2000-01-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1941 * tune2fs.c (usage): Update the usage message to correctly
1942 document the -s option.
1944 2000-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1946 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
1947 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
1948 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
1949 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
1951 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
1952 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
1953 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
1954 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
1955 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
1956 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
1957 Finally, the original data is written back.
1959 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
1960 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
1961 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
1962 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
1963 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
1964 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
1965 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
1966 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
1967 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
1968 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
1969 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
1970 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
1971 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
1972 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
1973 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
1975 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
1976 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
1977 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
1980 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
1981 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
1983 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
1984 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
1985 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
1986 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
1987 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
1988 and want the host hard drive to flush.
1990 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
1991 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
1992 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
1993 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
1994 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
1995 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
1996 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
1997 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
2000 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
2001 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
2002 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
2003 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
2004 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
2005 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
2006 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
2007 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
2008 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
2009 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
2010 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
2011 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
2012 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
2013 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
2014 completely reliable.
2016 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
2017 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
2018 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
2019 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
2020 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
2021 for your information.
2023 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
2024 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
2025 which I install which will write back whatever original
2026 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
2027 (except SIGKILL, of course).
2029 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
2030 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
2031 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
2032 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
2033 could learn how to update the manpage and other
2034 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
2035 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
2036 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
2037 should be in the distribution."
2039 2000-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
2041 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
2042 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
2043 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
2045 1999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>
2047 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix man page so that the sparse_super filesystem
2048 option is properly named.
2050 1999-11-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
2052 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
2053 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
2054 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
2056 1999-11-19 <tytso@valinux.com>
2058 * Makefile.in (distclean): Remove TAGS and Makefile.in.old from
2059 the source directory.
2061 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
2063 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.18
2065 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
2067 * mke2fs.8.in: Update manual page so that the sparse_option
2068 filesystem option is properly named.
2070 1999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
2072 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
2073 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
2074 fsck -As can do so interactively.
2076 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
2078 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.17
2080 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
2082 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
2083 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
2084 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
2086 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
2087 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
2088 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
2089 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
2091 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
2092 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
2093 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
2096 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
2097 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
2098 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
2099 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
2102 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
2103 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
2105 1999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
2107 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
2109 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
2110 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
2111 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
2113 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
2114 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
2117 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
2119 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16
2121 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
2123 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
2124 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
2125 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
2126 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
2128 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
2129 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
2130 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
2131 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
2133 1999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>
2135 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
2136 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
2137 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
2138 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
2139 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
2141 1999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
2143 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
2144 changing the sparse superblock option
2146 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
2147 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
2148 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
2151 1999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
2153 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
2154 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
2156 1999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
2158 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
2161 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
2164 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
2165 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
2168 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
2171 1999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
2173 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
2176 1999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
2178 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
2180 1999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2182 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
2183 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
2184 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
2185 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
2186 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
2187 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
2188 the filesystem the system would make.
2190 1999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
2192 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
2193 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
2194 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
2195 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
2196 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
2198 1999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
2200 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
2201 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
2202 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
2204 1999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
2206 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
2207 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
2209 1999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
2211 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
2212 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
2213 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
2214 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
2215 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
2216 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
2218 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
2219 UUID=bar type specifications.
2221 1999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
2223 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
2224 clear out a large block number.
2226 1999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
2228 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
2229 appears mounted if the force option is given.
2231 1999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
2233 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
2234 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
2236 1999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2238 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
2241 1999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2243 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
2244 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
2245 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
2246 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.

2265 1999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2267 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
2268 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
2269 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
2270 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
2271 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
2272 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
2274 1999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2276 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they

2279 fsck pass structure.
2280 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
2281 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
2284 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

2331 1998-12-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2333 * Makefile.in: Updated dependencies.
2335 1998-11-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2337 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
2338 relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of
2339 allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.
2341 1998-11-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2343 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor display bug in the nroff.

2404 only be set or cleared by the superuser.
2406 * Update all manual pages to that the availability section is
2409 * e2label.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to state that
2410 labels must be no longer than 16 characters, or they will
2413 * e2label.c (change_label), tune2fs.c (main): If the label is
2414 longer than 16 characters, print a warning message stating
2415 that the label will be truncated.
2417 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
2418 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
2419 warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.

2497 oops found by Bill Hawes (whawes@star.net).
2499 * mke2fs.c (test_disk): Pass the blocksize to the bad blocks
2500 command so that all of the filesystem gets tested in the
2501 case where the blocksize 2048 or 4096.

2510 Currently the only supported RAID option is "stride" which
2511 specifies the stripe width in RAID filesystem. This is
2512 used to aid in the placement of the inode and block
2515 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Added warnings that the sparse
2516 superblock option isn't yet supported by most kernels.
2518 Wed Apr 23 22:42:51 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
2520 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the default filesystem revision be 0, not
2521 1. (Since some people are still worried about 1.2.13
2524 Thu Apr 17 12:23:38 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

2646 directory, and the -U option which sets the filesystem UUID.
2649 * mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the
2650 creator OS. Generate a UUID for the filesystem, if
2651 applicable. Added support for the -L option which sets

2655 Sat Jun 22 17:43:17 1996 Remy Card <card@bbj.linux.eu.org>
2657 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Integrated Michael Nonweiler's fix to

2686 Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2688 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
2689 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
2690 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
2691 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
2692 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
2693 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
2694 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
2695 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
2698 Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2700 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.02

2708 Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2710 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
2711 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
2712 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
2713 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
2714 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
2716 Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2718 * dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to

2733 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
2734 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
2736 Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2738 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
2741 Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2743 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
2744 function to determine if the device is mounted.
2746 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
2747 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
2748 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
2749 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
2751 Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2753 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
2754 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
2755 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
2758 Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>

2778 Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
2780 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
2781 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the
2782 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
2784 Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2786 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
2787 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
2788 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
2789 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
2792 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
2793 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
2794 alloca is not portable!
2796 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
2797 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
2800 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
2802 Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
2804 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
2807 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
2809 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
2810 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
2812 Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
2814 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
2815 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
2817 Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2819 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
2821 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
2822 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
2824 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
2826 Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2828 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
2829 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
2830 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
2831 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
2833 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
2834 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
2835 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
2836 statically sized buffer.
2837 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
2838 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
2840 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
2841 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
2842 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
2843 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
2844 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
2846 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
2847 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
2848 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
2849 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
2852 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
2853 support separate compilation directories.
2855 Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
2857 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
2858 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
2859 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
2860 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
2862 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
2863 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
2864 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
2865 very large partition.
2867 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
2868 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
2869 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
2871 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
2872 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
2873 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
2874 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
2875 ioctl, which most do.)
2877 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
2878 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
2879 during 0.5b development.)
2881 Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
2883 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
2884 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
2885 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
2886 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
2889 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
2890 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
2891 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
2893 Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
2895 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
2897 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
2898 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
2899 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
2901 Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2903 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
2905 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
2907 Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
2909 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
2910 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
2911 all partitions should be checked.
2913 Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
2915 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
2918 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
2921 Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2923 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
2924 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
2926 Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2928 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
2930 Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
2932 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
2935 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
2937 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
2939 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
2941 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
2943 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
2945 Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2947 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
2948 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
2949 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
2950 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
2951 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
2953 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
2954 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
2955 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
2956 statistics if necessary.
