1 2000-06-27 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolabs.com>
3 * dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option
4 to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for
5 location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors
7 * mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict
9 2000-08-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
11 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general
13 (main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to
14 avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.
16 2000-07-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
18 * get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in
19 fsck, and speed up fsck -a.
21 2000-07-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
23 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.19
25 2000-07-13 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
27 * badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options
28 are mutually exclusive.
30 * badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the
31 block count must be specified if the starting block is to
32 be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in
35 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing
36 variable before going into the write verification loop.
37 This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block
38 on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal
39 while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The
40 num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get
41 clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no
42 longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup
45 * badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size).
46 Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option
47 to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing
48 the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf
51 2000-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
53 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as
54 fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of
55 the progress bar display logic.
57 * tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if
58 max_mount_count is negative.
60 * tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be
61 negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a
64 * fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation
65 for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root
66 privileges if the partitions need to be scanned.
67 Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for
68 removeable devices such as floppies if there are any
69 LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab.
71 * badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem
72 is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive
73 test. This can be overriden using the new -f option.
75 * badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the
76 blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly
77 document the start-block parameter. Added documentation
80 * badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be
81 optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the
84 2000-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
86 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that
87 it's more obviously what's going on. Fixed a few
88 potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the
89 old, overly complicated logic.
90 (flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and
91 always forces a sync; this is required before it's really
92 safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels.
94 2000-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
96 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
97 filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
98 size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
99 argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.
101 2000-05-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
103 * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
104 or LABEL= specification is given.
106 * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
107 the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
108 (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
109 to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
110 that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
111 feature for the forseeable future, either.)
113 * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
114 proceed_question that was busted due to the
115 internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if
116 proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
117 cleared of the previous question's newline.
119 Thu Apr 6 17:50:25 2000 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@signal.thunk.org>
121 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't
124 2000-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
126 * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
127 uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
128 manually define optarg and optind.
130 * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
133 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
134 now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
135 longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
136 (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
138 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
139 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
141 chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
143 2000-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
146 * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
148 * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
150 * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
152 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
153 blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
155 * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
156 Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
157 #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
158 file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
161 * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
162 The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
163 Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.
165 2000-02-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
167 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
168 fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
169 mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
170 uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
171 suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
173 * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
174 Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
175 removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
176 clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
177 code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
178 was interrupted at the wrong time.)
180 * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
182 2000-02-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
184 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
185 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
186 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
187 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
188 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
190 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
191 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
193 * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h
195 2000-01-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
197 * tune2fs.c (usage): Update the usage message to correctly
198 document the -s option.
200 2000-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
202 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
203 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
204 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
205 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
207 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
208 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
209 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
210 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
211 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
212 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
213 Finally, the original data is written back.
215 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
216 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
217 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
218 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
219 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
220 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
221 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
222 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
223 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
224 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
225 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
226 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
227 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
228 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
229 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
231 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
232 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
233 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
236 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
237 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
239 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
240 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
241 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
242 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
243 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
244 and want the host hard drive to flush.
246 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
247 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
248 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
249 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
250 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
251 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
252 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
253 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
256 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
257 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
258 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
259 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
260 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
261 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
262 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
263 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
264 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
265 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
266 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
267 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
268 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
269 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
272 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
273 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
274 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
275 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
276 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
277 for your information.
279 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
280 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
281 which I install which will write back whatever original
282 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
283 (except SIGKILL, of course).
285 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
286 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
287 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
288 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
289 could learn how to update the manpage and other
290 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
291 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
292 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
293 should be in the distribution."
295 2000-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
297 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
298 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
299 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
301 1999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>
303 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix man page so that the sparse_super filesystem
304 option is properly named.
306 1999-11-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
308 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
309 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
310 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
312 1999-11-19 <tytso@valinux.com>
314 * Makefile.in (distclean): Remove TAGS and Makefile.in.old from
315 the source directory.
317 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
319 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.18
321 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
323 * mke2fs.8.in: Update manual page so that the sparse_option
324 filesystem option is properly named.
326 1999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
328 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
329 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
330 fsck -As can do so interactively.
332 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
334 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.17
336 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
338 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
339 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
340 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
342 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
343 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
344 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
345 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
347 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
348 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
349 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
352 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
353 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
354 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
355 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
358 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
359 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
361 1999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
363 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
365 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
366 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
367 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
369 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
370 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
373 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
375 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16
377 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
379 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
380 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
381 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
382 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
384 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
385 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
386 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
387 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
389 1999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>
391 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
392 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
393 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
394 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
395 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
397 1999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
399 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
400 changing the sparse superblock option
402 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
403 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
404 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
407 1999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
409 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
410 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
412 1999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
414 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
417 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
420 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
421 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
424 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
427 1999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
429 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
432 1999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
434 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
436 1999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
438 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
439 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
440 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
441 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
442 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
443 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
444 the filesystem the system would make.
446 1999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
448 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
449 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
450 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
451 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
452 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
454 1999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
456 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
457 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
458 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
460 1999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
462 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
463 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
465 1999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
467 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
468 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
469 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
470 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
471 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
472 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
474 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
475 UUID=bar type specifications.
477 1999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
479 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
480 clear out a large block number.
482 1999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
484 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
485 appears mounted if the force option is given.
487 1999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
489 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
490 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
492 1999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
494 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
497 1999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
499 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
500 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
501 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
502 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
504 1999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
506 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
509 1999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
511 * fsck.c (fsck_device, execute): Don't dereference a null pointer
512 when checking a filesystem not in /etc/fstab.
514 1999-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
516 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
517 in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
518 Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
519 the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.
521 1999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
523 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
524 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
525 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
526 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
527 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
528 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
530 1999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
532 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
533 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
534 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
536 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
537 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
540 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
542 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.14
544 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
546 * fsck.8.in: Clarified and expanded the documentation for the -A
549 1999-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
551 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the pass number field is missing, it
552 needs to be treated as zero.
554 1999-01-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
556 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Allow the user to specify exactly how many
557 inodes he/she wishes.
559 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Only print the version information for the
560 program if the -V option is given.
562 * chattr.c: Ignore symbolic links when doing a recursive descent
565 1999-01-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
567 * fsck.c (load_fs_info, parse_fstab_line): Ignore fstab lines
568 are commented out. Also allow blank lines in the
570 (execute): In verbose mode, print the mountpount of the

660 only be set or cleared by the superuser.
662 * Update all manual pages to that the availability section is
665 * e2label.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to state that
666 labels must be no longer than 16 characters, or they will
669 * e2label.c (change_label), tune2fs.c (main): If the label is

745 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Adjust the number of columns printed when
746 displaying the superblock backups to avoid running over
747 80 columns when making a really big disk.
749 Thu May 8 22:22:08 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
751 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, fsck.8.in,
752 mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor typos and grammer
753 oops found by Bill Hawes (whawes@star.net).
755 * mke2fs.c (test_disk): Pass the blocksize to the bad blocks

766 Currently the only supported RAID option is "stride" which
767 specifies the stripe width in RAID filesystem. This is
768 used to aid in the placement of the inode and block

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

834 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Fixed bug in write_inode_tables
835 where a loop variable was getting reused in a nested loop.
836 This caused the inode table to not be correctly
839 Thu Jan 2 00:00:37 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
841 * lsattr.c, chattr.c: Include string.h, since we use memcpy().

900 * tune2fs.c: Added support for the -L option which sets the volume
901 label, the -M option which sets the last mounted
902 directory, and the -U option which sets the filesystem UUID.
905 * mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the
906 creator OS. Generate a UUID for the filesystem, if
907 applicable. Added support for the -L option which sets
908 the volume label, and the -M option which sets the last
911 Sat Jun 22 17:43:17 1996 Remy Card <card@bbj.linux.eu.org>
913 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Integrated Michael Nonweiler's fix to
914 avoid a segmentation fault when the "-v" option is used

942 Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
944 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
945 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
946 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
947 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
948 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
949 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
950 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
951 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
954 Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

964 Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
966 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
967 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
968 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
969 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
970 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
972 Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
974 * dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to
977 Mon Oct 30 20:21:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

980 stupid typo which caused coredumps in some cases.
982 Thu Oct 26 12:05:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
984 * Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed.
986 Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
988 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
989 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
990 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
992 Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
994 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in

1000 function to determine if the device is mounted.
1002 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
1003 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
1004 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
1005 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
1007 Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1009 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
1010 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
1011 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
1014 Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1023 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
1025 Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>

1034 Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1036 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
1037 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the
1038 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
1040 Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1042 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
1043 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
1044 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
1045 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
1048 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
1049 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
1050 alloca is not portable!
1052 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
1053 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
1056 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
1058 Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)

1066 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
1068 Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1070 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1071 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
1073 Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1075 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
1077 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
1078 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
1080 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
1082 Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1084 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
1085 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.

1087 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1089 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
1090 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1091 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
1092 statically sized buffer.
1093 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
1094 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
1096 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
1097 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
1098 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
1099 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
1100 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
1102 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
1103 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
1104 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.

1109 support separate compilation directories.
1111 Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
1113 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
1114 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
1115 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
1116 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
1118 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
1119 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
1120 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
1121 very large partition.
1123 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
1124 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
1125 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
1127 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
1128 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
1129 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
1130 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
1131 ioctl, which most do.)
1133 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
1134 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
1135 during 0.5b development.)
1137 Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1139 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
1140 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
1141 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
1142 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
1145 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
1146 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
1147 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
1149 Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1151 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
1153 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
1154 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
1155 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
1157 Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1159 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
1161 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
1163 Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
1165 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
1166 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
1167 all partitions should be checked.
1169 Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
1171 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
1174 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
1177 Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1179 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
1180 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
1182 Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
1184 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
1186 Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
1188 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
1191 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
1193 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
1195 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
1197 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
1199 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
1201 Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
1203 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
1204 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
1205 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
1206 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
1207 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
1209 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
1210 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
1211 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
1212 statistics if necessary.
