1 2002-02-25 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
3 * mke2fs.c: Add check for mkfs.ext3 and create a journal in
6 2002-02-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
8 * Makefile.in (install): Install hard links for man pages for
9 mkfs.ext2 and mkfs.ext3. Also install hard link for
10 mkfs.ext3. Remove any compressed man pages before
11 installing the man pages.
13 2002-02-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
15 * badblocks.8.in: Clarify man page's description of the -f option
17 2002-02-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
19 * get_device_by_label.c: Since on non-STDC compilers, we define
20 away const, include get_device_by_label.h after we include
23 * Makefile.in (base_device): Remove use of $<, which is
26 2002-02-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
28 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.26
30 2002-02-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
32 * fsck.c (interpret_type): Allow filesystems types of the form
35 * fstype.c (identify_fs): Add support for only searching for a
36 specified list of filesystems. Also add support for
37 identifying reiserfs filesystems.
39 2002-01-29 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
41 * fsck.c: Allow the number of outstanding processes fs-specific
42 fsck programs to be capped via the FSCK_MAX_INST
45 * fsck.8.in: Document all of the environment variables used by fsck.
47 2002-01-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
49 * tune2fs.8.in: Document the -f flag to tune2fs.
51 2002-01-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
53 * badblocks.c (main): Open the device as O_RDWR if possible, since
54 fsync() isn't guaranteed to work if the filesystem is
57 2001-12-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
59 * tune2fs.8.in, tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options, main): Add
60 support for new option, -T, which allows the user to set
61 the last checked time on the filesystem.
63 2001-12-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
65 * mke2fs.c (main, test_disk): If two -c options are
66 specified, then perform a destructive read/write test
69 * mke2fs.8.in: Document the double -c option; also encourage users
70 to use -c instead of the -l/-L options since it's too hard
71 for users to get things like the blocksize parameter correct.
73 * badblocks.8.in: Encourage users to use the -c option in mke2fs
74 and e2fsck instead of running badblocks directly.
76 * mke2fs.c (create_lost_and_found): The lost+found directory is
77 now created with 0700 permissions, since files which get
78 dropped into that directory may have come from a protected
79 directory, and the system administrator may not deal with
80 immediately. (Addresses Debian bug #118443)
82 2001-12-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
84 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: Move linux/jbd.h to
85 ext2fs/kernel-jbd.h, to avoid using the system header
86 file version of hbd.h when using diet glibc (since it
87 forcibly adds /usr/include to the beginning of the
90 2001-12-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
92 * get_device_by_label.c (init_lvm): Add support to read out
93 information from the LVM proc hierarchy, so that the UUID
94 cache can search the LVM logical volumes for UUID's,
97 2001-12-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
99 * dumpe2fs.c (list_bad_blocks): Change to not die if the listing
100 of the bad blocks can't be found. Slimmed down dumpe2fs
101 by eliminating duplicate code paths.
103 2001-12-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
105 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc), fsck.c (fs_match),
106 get_device_by_label.c (get_label_uuid),
107 mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults, zap_sector, PRS),
108 tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device, update_feature_set),
109 util.c (figure_journal_size), util.h: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
111 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Fix gcc -Wall nits, and use
112 the stashed inode functions to optimize away system calls.
114 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: linux/jfs.h has been renamed to
117 2001-12-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
119 * dumpe2fs.c: Don't print the offset to the bitmap and inode table
120 if it's negative. Also did some generalized code clean up
121 to slim it down the support of the -x option.
123 2001-11-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
125 * e2image.8.in: Fix cut-and-paste typo (Addresses Debian bug
128 2001-11-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
130 * util.c (check_plausibility): Use stat64 if available so that
131 check_plausibility() works with files > 2GB.
133 2001-11-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
135 * chattr.1.in: Update the man page to document the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL
138 * chattr.c: Add support for the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL flag.
140 * fsck.c (interpret_type): If the "auto" type is specified, make
141 sure interpet_device() is called so that device
142 specifications which use LABEL= or UUID= are translated
143 into a real device name.
145 2001-10-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
147 * e2image.c (output_meta_data_blocks): Optimize away excess
148 lseek() calls when creating a sparse file. Fewer system
149 calls are a good thing. <g>
151 2001-10-07 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
153 * mke2fs.c (main): Always exit with non-zero code in case of error.
155 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Check that buffer allocation succeeded.
157 2001-09-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
159 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.25
161 2001-09-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
163 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_inode): Remove dead code that wasn't
166 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect the fact that adding or
167 removing a journal doesn't require running e2fsck.
169 2001-09-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
171 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Allocate sufficient space for
174 2001-09-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
176 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24a
178 2001-08-31 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
180 * mke2fs.c (main): Fix version format string.
182 2001-08-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
184 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24
186 2001-08-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
188 * badblocks.8.in: Fix spelling typo. (Addresses Debian bug #110621)
190 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Now takes a third argument, which is how
191 many sectors to clear out. Fixed up Andreas's patch to
192 make it a bit more efficient/compact.
194 2001-08-30 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
196 * mke2fs.c (main): Zap the second sector of the disk, along with
197 any sectors in the same filesystem block after the superblock.
198 The latter will remove (for example) swapspace signatures
199 on 4kB+ blocksize filesystems. Also when zeroing the "end"
200 of the filesystem don't actually zero the start of a very
201 small device (less than 64 blocks).
203 2001-08-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
205 * fsck.c (main): Make version display consistent with the other
208 * lsattr.c, chattr.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c,
209 mklost+found.c: Remove EXT2FS_VERSION from the version
210 display, since it only confuses people.
212 2001-08-18 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
214 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): Remove unused variable
217 * get_device_by_label.h: Define function prototype for
218 copy_string(), since this was moved from fsck.c to
219 get_device_by_label.c by Andreas's BK changeset.
221 2001-08-17 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
223 * get_device_by_label.[ch], fsck.c, util.c: New interpret_spec()
224 function in get_device_by_label.c to allow the use of
225 UUID= or LABEL= when creating filesystems which use external
226 journal dev (e.g. mke2fs -J device=LABEL=<journal_label>).
228 * tune2fs.c: Use superblock s_journal_uuid to locate an external
229 journal device instead of s_journal_dev when removing it.
230 Allow opening journal devices to set the label and UUID
231 in the ext2 superblock.
233 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Free journal_device after use, as it is
234 malloc'd in interpret spec.
236 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
238 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.23
240 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
242 * tune2fs.c: Make sure that error messages are sent to stderr, and
243 normal messages are sent to stdout. (Addresses Debian bug
246 * fsck.8.in: Fixed error in synopsis of the man page.
248 * fsck.c (check_all): Don't bother to interpret a device where the
249 pass number is zero. (Addresses Debian bug #106696.)
250 (main): Print a warning message if there are no devices to
251 be checked. (Addresses Debian bug #107458.)
253 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Handle -O and -s options in line in the getopt
254 loop, so that -s and -O handling are a bit more intuitive.
255 (Not that they should be mixed anyway; -s is deprecated.)
257 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Give an error if -O is
258 specified more than once.
260 2001-08-10 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
262 * mke2fs.8.in: Slim down text describing the -O flag to remove
263 text that erroneously implied that all features
264 (including compatible flags) aren't compatible with older
267 2001-08-09 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
269 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug pointed out by Christopher Niessen; if
270 mke2fs -O none is specified, the sparse_super feature
271 should not be present.
273 * e2image.c, e2image.8.in: Add support for raw image files.
275 2001-08-04 Andreas Dilger <root@lynx.adilger.int>
277 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Put check for JOURNAL_DEV before sparse_option,
278 so we don't set the sparse superblock flag on journal devices.
280 2001-07-31 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
282 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, remove_journal_inode): If
283 removing an in-filesystem journal, clear out the journal
284 inode and update the filesystem accounting structures so
285 we don't have to run e2fsck to clean up after ourselves
287 2001-07-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
289 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Don't require a forced fsck if
290 we're removing an external journal from a filesystem.
292 2001-07-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
294 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the blocksize is not specified and the
295 journal device is specified, use it to determine the
296 blocksize of the new filesystem.
298 2001-07-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
300 * fsck.8.in: Add much more explicit language documenting how the
301 fs_passno field in /etc/fstab is handled. (Addresses
304 2001-07-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
306 * fstype.c (identify_fs): New file which looks at the superblock
307 of the filesystem to determines its type.
309 * fsck.c (fsck_device, ignore, interpret_type): Call identify_fs
310 if the type specified in /etc/fstab is "auto".
312 2001-06-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
314 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.22
316 2001-06-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>

320 2001-06-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
322 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Remove unneeded test in when creating a external
325 2001-06-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
327 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (print_check_message): Move
328 the message which displays how often the filesystem will
329 be checked from mke2fs into a utility subroutine. Then
330 cause tune2fs to call that function to display the message
331 after adding a journal to a filesystem.
333 * mke2fs.8.in: Add manual page fixups and explanation for why it's
334 good to check filesystems periodically from Andreas
337 * Makefile.in: Don't build e2image if --disable-imager is
338 specified to configure.
340 2001-06-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
342 * dumpe2fs.c: Use WORDS_BIGENDIAN to determine whether or not
343 we're (not) using i386 byte order.
345 * dumpe2fs.c, mke2fs.c: Stop using the compatibility badblocks
346 function, and use the ext2fs_badblocks_* functions
349 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fixed bug which can cause fsck
350 to core dump if there are a mix of devices with standard
351 and non-standard names. (Addresses Debian bug #100559)
353 2001-06-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
355 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Don't use _FILE_BITS_OFFSET method of using
356 the 64-bit function, since this changes the expected size
357 of struct dirent. Instead use lseek64 explicitly.
359 2001-06-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
361 * Makefile.in: Move include/asm/types.h.in to
362 lib/ext2fs/ext2_types.h.in.
364 2001-05-25 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
366 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.20
368 2001-05-25 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
370 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Fix capitalization typo.
372 2001-05-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
374 * partinfo.c (main): Use unsigned long instead of long when
375 querying the size of a device using the BLKGETSIZE ioctl,
376 to remove the 1TB limit (and turn it into a 2TB limit :-)
378 * fsck.c (compile_fs_type): Fix I18N compilation bug: use N_()
379 instead of _() to initialize static variables.
381 2001-05-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
383 * fsck.8.in, fsck.c (compile_fs_type, fs_type, ignore): Fix
384 handling of -t option to be more intuitive. Also add
385 support for the Mandrake -t loop hack. See man page
386 for description of new -t semantics.
388 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fix bug in
389 device_already_active which could cause infinite loops if
390 we don't know the base_device of the filesystem.
392 * fsck.c: Make sure all exit status codes returned by fsck are
393 consistent with the error codes documented in the fsck man
396 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
398 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c, findsuper.c,
399 lsattr.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c:
400 Change location of ext2_fs.h to be ext2fs/ext2_fs.h
402 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other clarifications suggested
405 2001-05-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
407 * mke2fs.c: don't zap the superblock if we are running with noaction!
408 Zap the end of the device to remove stale RAID superblocks.
410 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
412 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Clean up some printf messages.
414 * fsck.8.in, mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other
415 clarifications suggested by Andreas Dilger.
417 2001-05-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
419 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Integrated changes from Andreas Dilger which
420 make the revision superblock field be set to the correct
421 value depending on if superblock features are set.
423 2001-05-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
425 * fsck.c (PRS): fsck -? now prints the usage message.
427 * badblocks.8.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in,
428 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo; removed
429 excess "anonymous" in the AVAILABILITY section.

440 * fsck.8.in: Add explicit language to describe how options get
441 passed to filesystem-specific checkers.
443 * badblocks.8.in: Fixed man page to describe the first optional
444 parameter to badblocks as last_block, instead of
445 num_blocks. (Debian bug #87216)
447 * badblocks.c: Change the blocks_count variable to be last_count,
448 which is a more accurate description of the variable.
450 2001-05-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
452 * e2image.8.in: New manual page
454 * badblocks.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in mklost+found.8.in,
455 tune2fs.8.in: Update location of e2fsprogs to be
456 http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net.
458 * dumpe2fs.c (main): Add new flag, -i, which will allow dumpe2fs
459 to dump out the filesystem statistics from an ext2 image
462 * e2image.c (main): Fix format of e2image to be easier to be parse
465 2001-05-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
467 * fsck.c (device_already_active): If we're not able to determine
468 the base device, we should assume that the device is
469 already active in order to force serialization.
471 2001-04-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
473 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Interpret -c 0 as -c -1 (for
474 backwards compatibility with older kernels). -c 0 makes
477 2001-04-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
479 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): If the force flag is given,
480 tune2fs will remove the journal device information from
481 the superblock even if tune2fs failed to open the journal
482 device or otherwise other failed to remove the filesystem
484 (parse_tune2fs_options): Fix -j option so that it works
485 (it was missing the open_flag being set to EXT2_FLAG_RW).
486 (main): Accept "-U clear" to set a null UID.
488 2001-04-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
490 * mke2fs.8.in: Manual page cleanups. Temporarily comment out the
491 documentation for the extern journal device support.
493 * mke2fs.c (usage): Remove the deprecated -s option from the usage
496 2001-04-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
498 * mke2fs.c (main): Add better explanation about when the
499 filesystem will be checked after it is created.
501 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Remove code which allowed a bare
502 number to be treated as a journal size.
504 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Add newlines to error messages so that they
507 * mke2fs.c (create_journal_dev): Call
508 ext2fs_create_journal_superblock() first, so if it's going
509 to error out, the user finds out before waiting for the
510 entire device to get zero'ed.
512 2001-03-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
514 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Change man paegs to document that the
515 journal must be bewteen 1024 and 102,400 file system
518 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Change to use figure_journal_size()
520 * util.c, util.h (figure_journal_size): Change
521 journal_default_size into routine which also converts the
522 requested journal size into filesystem blocks and does
523 bounds checking to make sure the journal is sized
524 reasonably. Renamed function to journal_default_size.
525 (parse_journal_opts): Remove bounds check for the journal
526 size, since this is now done in figure_journal_size, and
527 based on the number of filesystem blocks, as opposed to
528 using the absolute size of the journal.
530 2001-02-17 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
532 * mke2fs.c (main): Flush out the "creating journal" message.
533 Also handle the case where the default journal size
534 returns zero blocks == no journal. Print out how often
535 the filesystem will be checked.
537 2001-02-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
539 * e2image.c (main): Add code to write the e2image header.
541 2001-02-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
543 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect that 2.0.39 supports
546 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix fencepost error when calculating the
547 range of inode table blocks. Add '0x' to values printed
550 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Define the _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE to force the
551 use of the LFS so that lstat will work on large files.
553 2001-01-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
555 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Change user
556 interface so that -J is used to specify journal options,
557 and -j is used to request creation of a journal using
558 default values. (This is a UI change, but we haven't done
559 a formal release, and it makes things much more consistent
560 with the rest of the options out there.)
562 * tune2fs.c: Add support for removing a filesystem from an
563 external journal; we correctly remove the filesystem UUID
564 from the external journal's filesystem list.
566 * util.h, util.c (journal_default_size): New function from Andreas
567 Dilger to calculate an appropriate default journal size
568 given a filesystem size.
570 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Allow the creation of a journal as
573 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Use s_first_data_block
574 to find the correct block to read the journal superblock.
576 2001-01-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
578 * tune2fs.c: Changed the external journal code so that it simply
579 adds a filesystem to a journal; the journal must have bene
580 created via "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX".
582 * mke2fs.c: Add support for creating an external journal device by
583 using the command "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX". Also
584 changed the external journal code so -j device=/dev/XXX it
585 simply adds a filesystem to that journal; the journal must
586 have been created via separate step.
588 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Add support for dumping
589 information about an external journal device.
591 2001-01-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
593 * mke2fs.c: Add new filesystem types, largefile and largefile4,
594 for those filesystems whose average inode size is 1MB and
595 4MB, respectively. Allow the inode ratio specified to be
596 has high as 4MB. Make the s_max_mount_count vary between
597 20 and 40, to avoid needing to check all of the
598 filesystems at the same time. Add some random jitter to
599 the s_max_mount_count value so that we avoid checking all
600 of the filesystems at the same time when we reboot.
602 * tune2fs.8.in: Add description of the -j option.
604 * tune2fs.c (add_journal): Minor fixes from Andreas Dilger. Flush
605 stdout after printing in-progress message.
606 (main): Exit with status code 1 if we failed to determine
607 the mount status of the device.
609 2001-01-11 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
611 * e2image.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c,
612 uuidgen.c: Fix gcc -Wall complaints, including one bug in
613 tune2fs caused by a block automatic shadowing version of
614 the variable we really wanted to use, which broke the
615 logic testing to see if the filesystem was mounted.
617 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use ext2fs_sync_device() to sync and
620 * mke2fs.c: Change ino_t to ext2_ino_t.
622 2001-01-08 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
624 * Makefile.in, tune2fs.c: Move e2label functionality into tune2fs,
625 using argv[0] as a dispatch. This allows e2label to be
626 (more) safely used on mounted filesystems.
628 2001-01-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
630 * get_device_by_label.h (get_volume_label_by_spec): Add function
633 * get_device_by_label.c: Use string_copy() instead of strdup() for
634 portability's sake. Fix a few other gcc -Wall
637 * fsck.c (string_copy): Export string_copy() extern.
639 * badblocks.c: Fix various gcc -Wall complaints, including
640 an incorrect reference to sync in flush_bufs().
642 2001-01-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
644 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, add_journal): Moved to separate
645 functions. Added ability to add and remove the journal
646 while the filesystem is live. Added support for setting
647 a time-based UUID. Removed zero-initialized static variables.
649 * mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (strcasecmp, proceed_question,
650 check_plausibility, parse_journal_opts, check_mount):
651 Moved functions to util.c so they can be used by tune2fs.
653 * mke2fs.c (main): Change ext2fs_add_journal_fs() to
654 ext2fs_add_journal_inode() to reflect function renaming.
656 2001-01-01 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
658 * mke2fs.c, e2image.c: Removed references to struct ext2fs_sb to
659 struct ext2_super_block.
661 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support to allow HAS_JOURNAL flag to be
662 cleared, but only if the filesystem is unmounted or
663 mounted read-only. Changed struct ext2fs_sb to struct
664 ext2_super_block, and cleaned up old code which was needed
665 for old versions of ext2_fs.h (not needed since we're
666 using our own version now).
668 2000-12-31 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
670 * fsck.c (check_all): Call interpet_device to resolve LABEL= and
671 UUID= right away so that the device_already_active() logic
672 can do the right thing. Also cleaned up the the root
673 filesystem logic checking code; fixed up a logic bug with
674 the parallel_root option.
676 * lsattr.1.in: Add pointer to chattr man page for definition of
679 * lsattr.c (list_attributes): Minor cleanup to smooth out logic
680 flow. Also removed static initialized variables to zero.
682 * chattr.c (decode_arg, get_flag): Use a table-driven method for
683 decoding the ext2 file flags character options. Add
684 support for the journaled data flag.
686 * chattr.1.in: Document the -j/+j/=j flag.
688 2000-12-30 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
690 * mke2fs.8.in: Minor clarity edit.
692 * mke2fs.c (usage): Document the -j option.
693 (main): Print the number blocks used in the journal.
695 2000-12-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
697 * base_device.c (base_device): Add support for DAC960 device
700 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Handle the case where
701 base_device doesn't know how to interpret the device name,
702 instead of core dumping.
704 2000-12-09 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
706 * mke2fs.c (main, parse_journal_opts): Add support for creating V1
707 superblocks. We now pass in a journal_flags field to the
708 journal creation routines for this purpose.
710 * mke2fs.c: Remove zero initializers to save a few bytes from the
711 executable image. (Are we excited yet?)
713 * findsuper.c: And non-subtle copyright licensing restriction to
714 get Yann to remove this program from the Debian package. :-)
716 2000-12-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
718 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Change to use new version of
719 base_device() which now returns dynamically allocated
722 * base_device.c (base_device): New version moved from fsck.c which
723 now understands ugly devfs names. (Debian bug #65181)
725 * base_device.tst: Test case for base_device.c
727 2000-12-02 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
729 * fsck.8.in: Add clarification that filesystems with a fs_passno
730 of 0 are skipped with the -A option. (Debian wishlist/bug
733 * fsck.c (wait_one): When we let a new fsck take control of the
734 console to display the progress bar, set FLAG_PROGRESS to
735 so that fsck knows not to start new processes during an
736 fsck pass with the progress bar. (Should fix debian bug
739 * tune2fs.8.in: Add clarifying statement about converting user and
740 group names to uid's before storing them in the
741 superblock. (Debian bug #67446)
743 2000-11-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
745 * mke2fs.c(main): Expand the -j option so that it parses
746 option=argument style options, and add support for
747 creating filesystems with external journals.
749 * mke2fs.8.in: Document new syntax for the -j option.
751 2000-11-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
753 * e2image.c, Makefile.in: New program which saves ext2 metadata to
754 a file for people who need a last-ditch saving throw.
756 2000-10-24 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
758 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Applied Andreas Dilger's patch to make the -r -s
759 handling a bit more sane. (Even though -s is deprecated
762 * get_device_by_label.c: Apply fix from Erik Troan to support 16
765 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Add a special case check for MD
766 devices, so we don't try to check them in parallel with
769 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main), mke2fs.8.in: Add support for the -j
770 option, which builds an ext2/3 filesystem with an ext3
773 2000-10-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
775 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix really stupid typo which gcc 2.95
778 2000-09-12 <tytso@valinux.com>
780 * fsck.c: Add base device definitions for hd[e-h], for those
781 systems with four IDE interfaces.
783 2000-09-11 <tytso@valinux.com>
785 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix error message printed when zap_sector
788 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fixed format string bug when printing
789 the inode table location in non-hex format.
791 2000-08-20 <tytso@valinux.com>
793 * get_device_by_label.c: Add call to ext2fs_find_block_device if
794 we can't find the device using the name given by
795 /proc/partitions. (This can happen if devfs is compiled
796 into the kernel, but not mounted.)
798 2000-06-27 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolabs.com>
800 * dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option
801 to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for
802 location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors
804 * mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict
806 2000-08-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
808 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general
810 (main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to
811 avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.
813 2000-07-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
815 * get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in
816 fsck, and speed up fsck -a.
818 2000-07-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
820 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.19
822 2000-07-13 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
824 * badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options
825 are mutually exclusive.
827 * badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the
828 block count must be specified if the starting block is to
829 be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in
832 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing
833 variable before going into the write verification loop.
834 This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block
835 on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal
836 while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The
837 num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get
838 clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no
839 longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup
842 * badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size).
843 Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option
844 to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing
845 the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf
848 2000-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
850 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as
851 fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of
852 the progress bar display logic.
854 * tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if
855 max_mount_count is negative.
857 * tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be
858 negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a
861 * fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation
862 for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root
863 privileges if the partitions need to be scanned.
864 Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for
865 removeable devices such as floppies if there are any
866 LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab.
868 * badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem
869 is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive
870 test. This can be overriden using the new -f option.
872 * badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the
873 blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly
874 document the start-block parameter. Added documentation
877 * badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be
878 optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the
881 2000-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
883 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that
884 it's more obviously what's going on. Fixed a few
885 potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the
886 old, overly complicated logic.
887 (flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and
888 always forces a sync; this is required before it's really
889 safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels.
891 2000-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
893 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
894 filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
895 size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
896 argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.
898 2000-05-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
900 * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
901 or LABEL= specification is given.
903 * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
904 the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
905 (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
906 to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
907 that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
908 feature for the forseeable future, either.)
910 * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
911 proceed_question that was busted due to the
912 internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if
913 proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
914 cleared of the previous question's newline.
916 Thu Apr 6 17:50:25 2000 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@signal.thunk.org>
918 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't
921 2000-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
923 * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
924 uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
925 manually define optarg and optind.
927 * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
930 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
931 now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
932 longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
933 (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
935 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
936 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
938 chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
940 2000-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
943 * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
945 * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
947 * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
949 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
950 blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
952 * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
953 Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
954 #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
955 file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
958 * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
959 The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
960 Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.
962 2000-02-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
964 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
965 fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
966 mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
967 uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
968 suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
970 * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
971 Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
972 removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
973 clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
974 code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
975 was interrupted at the wrong time.)
977 * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
979 2000-02-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
981 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
982 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
983 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
984 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
985 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
987 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
988 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
990 * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h
992 2000-01-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
994 * tune2fs.c (usage): Update the usage message to correctly
995 document the -s option.
997 2000-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
999 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
1000 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
1001 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
1002 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
1004 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
1005 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
1006 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
1007 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
1008 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
1009 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
1010 Finally, the original data is written back.
1012 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
1013 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
1014 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
1015 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
1016 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
1017 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
1018 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
1019 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
1020 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
1021 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
1022 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
1023 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
1024 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
1025 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
1026 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
1028 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
1029 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
1030 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
1033 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
1034 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
1036 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
1037 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
1038 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
1039 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
1040 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
1041 and want the host hard drive to flush.
1043 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
1044 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
1045 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
1046 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
1047 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
1048 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
1049 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
1050 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
1053 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
1054 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
1055 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
1056 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
1057 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
1058 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
1059 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
1060 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
1061 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
1062 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
1063 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
1064 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
1065 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
1066 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
1067 completely reliable.
1069 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
1070 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
1071 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
1072 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
1073 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
1074 for your information.
1076 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
1077 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
1078 which I install which will write back whatever original
1079 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
1080 (except SIGKILL, of course).
1082 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
1083 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
1084 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
1085 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
1086 could learn how to update the manpage and other
1087 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
1088 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
1089 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
1090 should be in the distribution."
1092 2000-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1094 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
1095 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
1096 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
1098 1999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>
1100 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix man page so that the sparse_super filesystem
1101 option is properly named.
1103 1999-11-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1105 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
1106 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
1107 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
1109 1999-11-19 <tytso@valinux.com>
1111 * Makefile.in (distclean): Remove TAGS and Makefile.in.old from
1112 the source directory.
1114 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1116 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.18
1118 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1120 * mke2fs.8.in: Update manual page so that the sparse_option
1121 filesystem option is properly named.
1123 1999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
1125 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
1126 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
1127 fsck -As can do so interactively.
1129 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1131 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.17
1133 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1135 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
1136 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
1137 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
1139 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
1140 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
1141 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
1142 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
1144 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
1145 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
1146 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
1149 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
1150 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
1151 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
1152 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
1155 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
1156 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
1158 1999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
1160 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
1162 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
1163 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
1164 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
1166 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
1167 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
1170 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1172 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16
1174 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1176 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
1177 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
1178 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
1179 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
1181 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
1182 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
1183 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
1184 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
1186 1999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>
1188 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
1189 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
1190 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
1191 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
1192 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
1194 1999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
1196 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
1197 changing the sparse superblock option
1199 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
1200 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
1201 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
1204 1999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
1206 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
1207 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
1209 1999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1211 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
1214 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
1217 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
1218 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
1221 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
1224 1999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
1226 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
1229 1999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1231 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
1233 1999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1235 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
1236 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
1237 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
1238 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
1239 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
1240 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
1241 the filesystem the system would make.
1243 1999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
1245 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
1246 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
1247 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
1248 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
1249 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
1251 1999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1253 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
1254 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
1255 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
1257 1999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
1259 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
1260 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
1262 1999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
1264 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
1265 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
1266 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
1267 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
1268 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
1269 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
1271 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
1272 UUID=bar type specifications.
1274 1999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
1276 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
1277 clear out a large block number.
1279 1999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
1281 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
1282 appears mounted if the force option is given.
1284 1999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
1286 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
1287 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
1289 1999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1291 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
1294 1999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1296 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
1297 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
1298 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
1299 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
1301 1999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
1303 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
1306 1999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1308 * fsck.c (fsck_device, execute): Don't dereference a null pointer
1309 when checking a filesystem not in /etc/fstab.
1311 1999-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1313 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
1314 in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
1315 Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
1316 the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.
1318 1999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1320 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
1321 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
1322 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
1323 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
1324 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
1325 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
1327 1999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1329 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
1330 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
1331 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
1332 fsck pass structure.
1333 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
1334 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
1337 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1339 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.14

1346 1999-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1348 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the pass number field is missing, it
1349 needs to be treated as zero.
1351 1999-01-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1353 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add -N option to allow the user to specify
1354 exactly how many inodes he/she wishes.
1356 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Only print the version information for the
1357 program if the -V option is given.
1359 * chattr.c: Ignore symbolic links when doing a recursive descent
1360 through a directory.
1362 1999-01-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1364 * fsck.c (load_fs_info, parse_fstab_line): Ignore fstab lines
1365 are commented out. Also allow blank lines in the
1367 (execute): In verbose mode, print the mountpount of the
1368 filesystem which we are checking (user request).
1370 1998-12-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1372 * mke2fs.c: Add definition of SCSI_BLK_MAJOR if not defined, for
1373 compatibility with Linux 1.2.13 header files.
1375 1998-12-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1377 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.13
1379 1998-12-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1381 * mke2fs.8.in: Fixed stupid typo ("Raid options are _comma_
1382 seperated", instead of common separated)
1384 1998-12-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1386 * Makefile.in: Updated dependencies.
1388 1998-11-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1390 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
1391 relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of
1392 allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.
1394 1998-11-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1396 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor display bug in the nroff.
1398 * mke2fs.c (show_stats, write_inode_tables): Use the log10
1399 function to calculate the display of block numbers so that
1400 things look nice on an 80 character display.
1402 1998-10-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1404 * mke2fs.c (usage): Add the sparse-super-flag to the usage

1423 * dumpe2fs.c (usage):
1424 * badblocks.c (usage): Remove volatile from declaration.
1426 * fsck.c: Change use of strdup to be string_copy, since we don't
1427 trust what glibc is doing with strdup. (Whatever it is,
1430 1998-06-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1432 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a -V option which prints the version number

1440 1998-03-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1442 * Makefile.in: Change to use new installation directory variables
1443 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
1444 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
1445 target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the
1446 cat directory in /usr/man/cat?.
1448 1998-03-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1450 * e2label.8.in: New man page to document the e2label function.

1457 only be set or cleared by the superuser.
1459 * Update all manual pages to that the availability section is
1462 * e2label.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to state that
1463 labels must be no longer than 16 characters, or they will
1466 * e2label.c (change_label), tune2fs.c (main): If the label is
1467 longer than 16 characters, print a warning message stating
1468 that the label will be truncated.
1470 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
1471 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
1472 warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.

1540 Mon Jun 16 23:37:54 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1542 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Adjust the number of columns printed when
1543 displaying the superblock backups to avoid running over
1544 80 columns when making a really big disk.
1546 Thu May 8 22:22:08 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1562 * mke2fs.c: Added new option -R, which specifies RAID options.
1563 Currently the only supported RAID option is "stride" which
1564 specifies the stripe width in RAID filesystem. This is
1565 used to aid in the placement of the inode and block
1568 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Added warnings that the sparse
1569 superblock option isn't yet supported by most kernels.

1694 Fri Aug 9 11:52:42 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1697 * tune2fs.c: Added support for the -L option which sets the volume
1698 label, the -M option which sets the last mounted
1699 directory, and the -U option which sets the filesystem UUID.
1702 * mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the
1703 creator OS. Generate a UUID for the filesystem, if
1704 applicable. Added support for the -L option which sets
1705 the volume label, and the -M option which sets the last
1708 Sat Jun 22 17:43:17 1996 Remy Card <card@bbj.linux.eu.org>
1710 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Integrated Michael Nonweiler's fix to
1711 avoid a segmentation fault when the "-v" option is used
1712 and no version number is specified.
1714 Thu May 16 11:12:30 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1716 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.04
1718 Wed May 15 21:15:43 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1720 * Makefile.in (fsck): fsck doesn't need to be linked with the ext2
1723 Wed Mar 27 00:33:40 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1725 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.03
1727 Thu Mar 7 03:43:20 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1729 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add (for development only) support to
1730 specify revision and inode size of the new filesystem.
1732 Tue Mar 5 03:51:35 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1734 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix a few minor typo's in the man page.
1736 * mke2fs.c (reserve_inodes): Add support for dynamic first inode
1739 Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1741 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
1742 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
1743 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
1744 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
1745 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
1746 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
1747 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
1748 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
1751 Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1753 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.02
1755 Tue Oct 30 21:14:12 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1757 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add check to warn user if they
1758 are trying to mke2fs the whole disk. (/dev/hda
1761 Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1763 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
1764 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
1765 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
1766 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
1767 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
1769 Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1771 * dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to
1774 Mon Oct 30 20:21:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1776 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a
1777 stupid typo which caused coredumps in some cases.
1779 Thu Oct 26 12:05:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1781 * Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed.
1783 Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1785 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
1786 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
1787 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
1789 Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1791 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
1794 Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1796 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
1797 function to determine if the device is mounted.
1799 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
1800 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
1801 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
1802 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
1804 Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1806 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
1807 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
1808 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
1811 Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1820 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
1822 Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1824 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
1825 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
1826 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
1829 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
1831 Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1833 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
1834 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the
1835 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
1837 Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1839 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
1840 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
1841 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
1842 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
1845 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
1846 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
1847 alloca is not portable!
1849 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
1850 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
1853 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
1855 Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
1857 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
1860 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
1862 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1863 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
1865 Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1867 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1868 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
1870 Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1872 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
1874 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
1875 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
1877 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
1879 Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1881 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
1882 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
1883 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
1884 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1886 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
1887 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1888 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
1889 statically sized buffer.
1890 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
1891 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
1893 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
1894 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
1895 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
1896 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
1897 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
1899 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
1900 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
1901 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
1902 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
1905 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
1906 support separate compilation directories.
1908 Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
1910 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
1911 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
1912 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
1913 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
1915 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
1916 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
1917 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
1918 very large partition.
1920 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
1921 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
1922 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
1924 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
1925 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
1926 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
1927 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
1928 ioctl, which most do.)
1930 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
1931 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
1932 during 0.5b development.)
1934 Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1936 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
1937 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
1938 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
1939 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
1942 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
1943 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
1944 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
1946 Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1948 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
1950 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
1951 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
1952 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
1954 Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1956 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
1958 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
1960 Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
1962 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
1963 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
1964 all partitions should be checked.
1966 Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
1968 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
1971 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
1974 Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1976 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
1977 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
1979 Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
1981 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
1983 Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
1985 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
1988 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
1990 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
1992 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
1994 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
1996 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
1998 Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2000 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
2001 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
2002 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
2003 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
2004 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
2006 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
2007 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
2008 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
2009 statistics if necessary.
