7 be set in addition to LC_MESSAGES.
9 2002-02-25 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
11 * mke2fs.c: Add check for mkfs.ext3 and create a journal in
14 2002-02-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
16 * Makefile.in (install): Install hard links for man pages for
17 mkfs.ext2 and mkfs.ext3. Also install hard link for
18 mkfs.ext3. Remove any compressed man pages before
19 installing the man pages.
21 2002-02-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
23 * badblocks.8.in: Clarify man page's description of the -f option
25 2002-02-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
27 * get_device_by_label.c: Since on non-STDC compilers, we define
28 away const, include get_device_by_label.h after we include
31 * Makefile.in (base_device): Remove use of $<, which is
34 2002-02-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
36 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.26
38 2002-02-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
40 * fsck.c (interpret_type): Allow filesystems types of the form
43 * fstype.c (identify_fs): Add support for only searching for a
44 specified list of filesystems. Also add support for
45 identifying reiserfs filesystems.
47 2002-01-29 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
49 * fsck.c: Allow the number of outstanding processes fs-specific
50 fsck programs to be capped via the FSCK_MAX_INST
53 * fsck.8.in: Document all of the environment variables used by fsck.
55 2002-01-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
57 * tune2fs.8.in: Document the -f flag to tune2fs.
59 2002-01-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
61 * badblocks.c (main): Open the device as O_RDWR if possible, since
62 fsync() isn't guaranteed to work if the filesystem is
65 2001-12-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
67 * tune2fs.8.in, tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options, main): Add
68 support for new option, -T, which allows the user to set
69 the last checked time on the filesystem.
71 2001-12-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
73 * mke2fs.c (main, test_disk): If two -c options are
74 specified, then perform a destructive read/write test
77 * mke2fs.8.in: Document the double -c option; also encourage users
78 to use -c instead of the -l/-L options since it's too hard
79 for users to get things like the blocksize parameter correct.
81 * badblocks.8.in: Encourage users to use the -c option in mke2fs
82 and e2fsck instead of running badblocks directly.
84 * mke2fs.c (create_lost_and_found): The lost+found directory is
85 now created with 0700 permissions, since files which get
86 dropped into that directory may have come from a protected
87 directory, and the system administrator may not deal with
88 immediately. (Addresses Debian bug #118443)
90 2001-12-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
92 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: Move linux/jbd.h to
93 ext2fs/kernel-jbd.h, to avoid using the system header
94 file version of hbd.h when using diet glibc (since it
95 forcibly adds /usr/include to the beginning of the
98 2001-12-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
100 * get_device_by_label.c (init_lvm): Add support to read out
101 information from the LVM proc hierarchy, so that the UUID
102 cache can search the LVM logical volumes for UUID's,
105 2001-12-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
107 * dumpe2fs.c (list_bad_blocks): Change to not die if the listing
108 of the bad blocks can't be found. Slimmed down dumpe2fs
109 by eliminating duplicate code paths.
111 2001-12-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
113 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc), fsck.c (fs_match),
114 get_device_by_label.c (get_label_uuid),

116 tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device, update_feature_set),
117 util.c (figure_journal_size), util.h: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
119 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Fix gcc -Wall nits, and use
120 the stashed inode functions to optimize away system calls.
122 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: linux/jfs.h has been renamed to
125 2001-12-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
127 * dumpe2fs.c: Don't print the offset to the bitmap and inode table
128 if it's negative. Also did some generalized code clean up
129 to slim it down the support of the -x option.
131 2001-11-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
133 * e2image.8.in: Fix cut-and-paste typo (Addresses Debian bug
136 2001-11-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
138 * util.c (check_plausibility): Use stat64 if available so that
139 check_plausibility() works with files > 2GB.
141 2001-11-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
143 * chattr.1.in: Update the man page to document the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL
146 * chattr.c: Add support for the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL flag.
148 * fsck.c (interpret_type): If the "auto" type is specified, make
149 sure interpet_device() is called so that device
150 specifications which use LABEL= or UUID= are translated
151 into a real device name.
153 2001-10-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
155 * e2image.c (output_meta_data_blocks): Optimize away excess
156 lseek() calls when creating a sparse file. Fewer system
157 calls are a good thing. <g>
159 2001-10-07 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
161 * mke2fs.c (main): Always exit with non-zero code in case of error.

171 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_inode): Remove dead code that wasn't
174 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect the fact that adding or
175 removing a journal doesn't require running e2fsck.
177 2001-09-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
179 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Allocate sufficient space for

196 * badblocks.8.in: Fix spelling typo. (Addresses Debian bug #110621)
198 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Now takes a third argument, which is how
199 many sectors to clear out. Fixed up Andreas's patch to
200 make it a bit more efficient/compact.
202 2001-08-30 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
204 * mke2fs.c (main): Zap the second sector of the disk, along with
205 any sectors in the same filesystem block after the superblock.
206 The latter will remove (for example) swapspace signatures
207 on 4kB+ blocksize filesystems. Also when zeroing the "end"
208 of the filesystem don't actually zero the start of a very
209 small device (less than 64 blocks).
211 2001-08-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
213 * fsck.c (main): Make version display consistent with the other
216 * lsattr.c, chattr.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c,
217 mklost+found.c: Remove EXT2FS_VERSION from the version
218 display, since it only confuses people.
220 2001-08-18 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
222 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): Remove unused variable
225 * get_device_by_label.h: Define function prototype for
226 copy_string(), since this was moved from fsck.c to
227 get_device_by_label.c by Andreas's BK changeset.
229 2001-08-17 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
231 * get_device_by_label.[ch], fsck.c, util.c: New interpret_spec()
232 function in get_device_by_label.c to allow the use of
233 UUID= or LABEL= when creating filesystems which use external
234 journal dev (e.g. mke2fs -J device=LABEL=<journal_label>).
236 * tune2fs.c: Use superblock s_journal_uuid to locate an external
237 journal device instead of s_journal_dev when removing it.
238 Allow opening journal devices to set the label and UUID
239 in the ext2 superblock.
241 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Free journal_device after use, as it is
242 malloc'd in interpret spec.
244 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
246 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.23
248 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
250 * tune2fs.c: Make sure that error messages are sent to stderr, and
251 normal messages are sent to stdout. (Addresses Debian bug
254 * fsck.8.in: Fixed error in synopsis of the man page.
256 * fsck.c (check_all): Don't bother to interpret a device where the
257 pass number is zero. (Addresses Debian bug #106696.)
258 (main): Print a warning message if there are no devices to
259 be checked. (Addresses Debian bug #107458.)
261 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Handle -O and -s options in line in the getopt
262 loop, so that -s and -O handling are a bit more intuitive.
263 (Not that they should be mixed anyway; -s is deprecated.)
265 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Give an error if -O is
266 specified more than once.
268 2001-08-10 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
270 * mke2fs.8.in: Slim down text describing the -O flag to remove
271 text that erroneously implied that all features
272 (including compatible flags) aren't compatible with older
275 2001-08-09 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
277 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug pointed out by Christopher Niessen; if
278 mke2fs -O none is specified, the sparse_super feature
279 should not be present.
281 * e2image.c, e2image.8.in: Add support for raw image files.
283 2001-08-04 Andreas Dilger <root@lynx.adilger.int>
285 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Put check for JOURNAL_DEV before sparse_option,
286 so we don't set the sparse superblock flag on journal devices.
288 2001-07-31 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
290 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, remove_journal_inode): If
291 removing an in-filesystem journal, clear out the journal
292 inode and update the filesystem accounting structures so
293 we don't have to run e2fsck to clean up after ourselves
295 2001-07-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
297 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Don't require a forced fsck if
298 we're removing an external journal from a filesystem.
300 2001-07-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
302 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the blocksize is not specified and the
303 journal device is specified, use it to determine the
304 blocksize of the new filesystem.
306 2001-07-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
308 * fsck.8.in: Add much more explicit language documenting how the
309 fs_passno field in /etc/fstab is handled. (Addresses
312 2001-07-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
314 * fstype.c (identify_fs): New file which looks at the superblock
315 of the filesystem to determines its type.
317 * fsck.c (fsck_device, ignore, interpret_type): Call identify_fs
318 if the type specified in /etc/fstab is "auto".
320 2001-06-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>

333 2001-06-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
335 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (print_check_message): Move
336 the message which displays how often the filesystem will
337 be checked from mke2fs into a utility subroutine. Then
338 cause tune2fs to call that function to display the message
339 after adding a journal to a filesystem.
341 * mke2fs.8.in: Add manual page fixups and explanation for why it's
342 good to check filesystems periodically from Andreas
345 * Makefile.in: Don't build e2image if --disable-imager is
346 specified to configure.
348 2001-06-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
350 * dumpe2fs.c: Use WORDS_BIGENDIAN to determine whether or not
351 we're (not) using i386 byte order.
353 * dumpe2fs.c, mke2fs.c: Stop using the compatibility badblocks
354 function, and use the ext2fs_badblocks_* functions
357 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fixed bug which can cause fsck
358 to core dump if there are a mix of devices with standard
359 and non-standard names. (Addresses Debian bug #100559)
361 2001-06-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
363 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Don't use _FILE_BITS_OFFSET method of using
364 the 64-bit function, since this changes the expected size
365 of struct dirent. Instead use lseek64 explicitly.
367 2001-06-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
369 * Makefile.in: Move include/asm/types.h.in to
370 lib/ext2fs/ext2_types.h.in.

374 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.20
376 2001-05-25 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
378 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Fix capitalization typo.
380 2001-05-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
382 * partinfo.c (main): Use unsigned long instead of long when
383 querying the size of a device using the BLKGETSIZE ioctl,
384 to remove the 1TB limit (and turn it into a 2TB limit :-)
386 * fsck.c (compile_fs_type): Fix I18N compilation bug: use N_()
387 instead of _() to initialize static variables.
389 2001-05-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
391 * fsck.8.in, fsck.c (compile_fs_type, fs_type, ignore): Fix
392 handling of -t option to be more intuitive. Also add
393 support for the Mandrake -t loop hack. See man page
394 for description of new -t semantics.
396 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fix bug in
397 device_already_active which could cause infinite loops if
398 we don't know the base_device of the filesystem.
400 * fsck.c: Make sure all exit status codes returned by fsck are
401 consistent with the error codes documented in the fsck man
404 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
406 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c, findsuper.c,
407 lsattr.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c:
408 Change location of ext2_fs.h to be ext2fs/ext2_fs.h
410 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other clarifications suggested
413 2001-05-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
415 * mke2fs.c: don't zap the superblock if we are running with noaction!
416 Zap the end of the device to remove stale RAID superblocks.
418 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
420 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Clean up some printf messages.
422 * fsck.8.in, mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other
423 clarifications suggested by Andreas Dilger.
425 2001-05-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
427 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Integrated changes from Andreas Dilger which
428 make the revision superblock field be set to the correct
429 value depending on if superblock features are set.
431 2001-05-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
433 * fsck.c (PRS): fsck -? now prints the usage message.
435 * badblocks.8.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in,
436 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo; removed
437 excess "anonymous" in the AVAILABILITY section.

449 passed to filesystem-specific checkers.
451 * badblocks.8.in: Fixed man page to describe the first optional
452 parameter to badblocks as last_block, instead of
453 num_blocks. (Debian bug #87216)
455 * badblocks.c: Change the blocks_count variable to be last_count,
456 which is a more accurate description of the variable.
458 2001-05-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
460 * e2image.8.in: New manual page
462 * badblocks.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in mklost+found.8.in,
463 tune2fs.8.in: Update location of e2fsprogs to be
464 http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net.
466 * dumpe2fs.c (main): Add new flag, -i, which will allow dumpe2fs
467 to dump out the filesystem statistics from an ext2 image
470 * e2image.c (main): Fix format of e2image to be easier to be parse
473 2001-05-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
475 * fsck.c (device_already_active): If we're not able to determine
476 the base device, we should assume that the device is
477 already active in order to force serialization.
479 2001-04-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
481 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Interpret -c 0 as -c -1 (for
482 backwards compatibility with older kernels). -c 0 makes
485 2001-04-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
487 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): If the force flag is given,
488 tune2fs will remove the journal device information from
489 the superblock even if tune2fs failed to open the journal
490 device or otherwise other failed to remove the filesystem
492 (parse_tune2fs_options): Fix -j option so that it works
493 (it was missing the open_flag being set to EXT2_FLAG_RW).
494 (main): Accept "-U clear" to set a null UID.
496 2001-04-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
498 * mke2fs.8.in: Manual page cleanups. Temporarily comment out the
499 documentation for the extern journal device support.
501 * mke2fs.c (usage): Remove the deprecated -s option from the usage
504 2001-04-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
506 * mke2fs.c (main): Add better explanation about when the
507 filesystem will be checked after it is created.
509 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Remove code which allowed a bare
510 number to be treated as a journal size.
512 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Add newlines to error messages so that they
515 * mke2fs.c (create_journal_dev): Call
516 ext2fs_create_journal_superblock() first, so if it's going
517 to error out, the user finds out before waiting for the
518 entire device to get zero'ed.
520 2001-03-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
522 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Change man paegs to document that the
523 journal must be bewteen 1024 and 102,400 file system
526 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Change to use figure_journal_size()
528 * util.c, util.h (figure_journal_size): Change
529 journal_default_size into routine which also converts the
530 requested journal size into filesystem blocks and does
531 bounds checking to make sure the journal is sized
532 reasonably. Renamed function to journal_default_size.
533 (parse_journal_opts): Remove bounds check for the journal
534 size, since this is now done in figure_journal_size, and
535 based on the number of filesystem blocks, as opposed to
536 using the absolute size of the journal.
538 2001-02-17 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
540 * mke2fs.c (main): Flush out the "creating journal" message.
541 Also handle the case where the default journal size
542 returns zero blocks == no journal. Print out how often
543 the filesystem will be checked.
545 2001-02-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
547 * e2image.c (main): Add code to write the e2image header.

551 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect that 2.0.39 supports
554 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix fencepost error when calculating the
555 range of inode table blocks. Add '0x' to values printed
558 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Define the _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE to force the
559 use of the LFS so that lstat will work on large files.
561 2001-01-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
563 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Change user
564 interface so that -J is used to specify journal options,
565 and -j is used to request creation of a journal using
566 default values. (This is a UI change, but we haven't done
567 a formal release, and it makes things much more consistent
568 with the rest of the options out there.)
570 * tune2fs.c: Add support for removing a filesystem from an
571 external journal; we correctly remove the filesystem UUID
572 from the external journal's filesystem list.
574 * util.h, util.c (journal_default_size): New function from Andreas
575 Dilger to calculate an appropriate default journal size
576 given a filesystem size.
578 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Allow the creation of a journal as
581 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Use s_first_data_block
582 to find the correct block to read the journal superblock.
584 2001-01-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
586 * tune2fs.c: Changed the external journal code so that it simply
587 adds a filesystem to a journal; the journal must have bene
588 created via "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX".
590 * mke2fs.c: Add support for creating an external journal device by
591 using the command "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX". Also
592 changed the external journal code so -j device=/dev/XXX it
593 simply adds a filesystem to that journal; the journal must
594 have been created via separate step.
596 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Add support for dumping
597 information about an external journal device.
599 2001-01-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
601 * mke2fs.c: Add new filesystem types, largefile and largefile4,
602 for those filesystems whose average inode size is 1MB and
603 4MB, respectively. Allow the inode ratio specified to be
604 has high as 4MB. Make the s_max_mount_count vary between
605 20 and 40, to avoid needing to check all of the
606 filesystems at the same time. Add some random jitter to
607 the s_max_mount_count value so that we avoid checking all
608 of the filesystems at the same time when we reboot.
610 * tune2fs.8.in: Add description of the -j option.
612 * tune2fs.c (add_journal): Minor fixes from Andreas Dilger. Flush
613 stdout after printing in-progress message.
614 (main): Exit with status code 1 if we failed to determine
615 the mount status of the device.
617 2001-01-11 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
619 * e2image.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c,
620 uuidgen.c: Fix gcc -Wall complaints, including one bug in
621 tune2fs caused by a block automatic shadowing version of
622 the variable we really wanted to use, which broke the
623 logic testing to see if the filesystem was mounted.
625 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use ext2fs_sync_device() to sync and
628 * mke2fs.c: Change ino_t to ext2_ino_t.
630 2001-01-08 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
632 * Makefile.in, tune2fs.c: Move e2label functionality into tune2fs,
633 using argv[0] as a dispatch. This allows e2label to be
634 (more) safely used on mounted filesystems.
636 2001-01-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
638 * get_device_by_label.h (get_volume_label_by_spec): Add function
641 * get_device_by_label.c: Use string_copy() instead of strdup() for
642 portability's sake. Fix a few other gcc -Wall
645 * fsck.c (string_copy): Export string_copy() extern.
647 * badblocks.c: Fix various gcc -Wall complaints, including
648 an incorrect reference to sync in flush_bufs().
650 2001-01-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
652 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, add_journal): Moved to separate
653 functions. Added ability to add and remove the journal
654 while the filesystem is live. Added support for setting
655 a time-based UUID. Removed zero-initialized static variables.
657 * mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (strcasecmp, proceed_question,
658 check_plausibility, parse_journal_opts, check_mount):
659 Moved functions to util.c so they can be used by tune2fs.
661 * mke2fs.c (main): Change ext2fs_add_journal_fs() to
662 ext2fs_add_journal_inode() to reflect function renaming.
664 2001-01-01 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
666 * mke2fs.c, e2image.c: Removed references to struct ext2fs_sb to
667 struct ext2_super_block.
669 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support to allow HAS_JOURNAL flag to be
670 cleared, but only if the filesystem is unmounted or
671 mounted read-only. Changed struct ext2fs_sb to struct
672 ext2_super_block, and cleaned up old code which was needed
673 for old versions of ext2_fs.h (not needed since we're
674 using our own version now).
676 2000-12-31 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
678 * fsck.c (check_all): Call interpet_device to resolve LABEL= and
679 UUID= right away so that the device_already_active() logic
680 can do the right thing. Also cleaned up the the root
681 filesystem logic checking code; fixed up a logic bug with
682 the parallel_root option.
684 * lsattr.1.in: Add pointer to chattr man page for definition of
687 * lsattr.c (list_attributes): Minor cleanup to smooth out logic
688 flow. Also removed static initialized variables to zero.
690 * chattr.c (decode_arg, get_flag): Use a table-driven method for
691 decoding the ext2 file flags character options. Add
692 support for the journaled data flag.
694 * chattr.1.in: Document the -j/+j/=j flag.
696 2000-12-30 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
698 * mke2fs.8.in: Minor clarity edit.
700 * mke2fs.c (usage): Document the -j option.
701 (main): Print the number blocks used in the journal.
703 2000-12-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
705 * base_device.c (base_device): Add support for DAC960 device
708 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Handle the case where
709 base_device doesn't know how to interpret the device name,
710 instead of core dumping.
712 2000-12-09 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
714 * mke2fs.c (main, parse_journal_opts): Add support for creating V1
715 superblocks. We now pass in a journal_flags field to the
716 journal creation routines for this purpose.
718 * mke2fs.c: Remove zero initializers to save a few bytes from the
719 executable image. (Are we excited yet?)
721 * findsuper.c: And non-subtle copyright licensing restriction to
722 get Yann to remove this program from the Debian package. :-)
724 2000-12-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
726 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Change to use new version of
727 base_device() which now returns dynamically allocated
730 * base_device.c (base_device): New version moved from fsck.c which
731 now understands ugly devfs names. (Debian bug #65181)
733 * base_device.tst: Test case for base_device.c
735 2000-12-02 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
737 * fsck.8.in: Add clarification that filesystems with a fs_passno
738 of 0 are skipped with the -A option. (Debian wishlist/bug
741 * fsck.c (wait_one): When we let a new fsck take control of the
742 console to display the progress bar, set FLAG_PROGRESS to
743 so that fsck knows not to start new processes during an
744 fsck pass with the progress bar. (Should fix debian bug
747 * tune2fs.8.in: Add clarifying statement about converting user and
748 group names to uid's before storing them in the
749 superblock. (Debian bug #67446)
751 2000-11-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
753 * mke2fs.c(main): Expand the -j option so that it parses
754 option=argument style options, and add support for
755 creating filesystems with external journals.
757 * mke2fs.8.in: Document new syntax for the -j option.
759 2000-11-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
761 * e2image.c, Makefile.in: New program which saves ext2 metadata to
762 a file for people who need a last-ditch saving throw.
764 2000-10-24 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
766 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Applied Andreas Dilger's patch to make the -r -s
767 handling a bit more sane. (Even though -s is deprecated
770 * get_device_by_label.c: Apply fix from Erik Troan to support 16
773 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Add a special case check for MD
774 devices, so we don't try to check them in parallel with
777 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main), mke2fs.8.in: Add support for the -j
778 option, which builds an ext2/3 filesystem with an ext3
781 2000-10-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
783 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix really stupid typo which gcc 2.95
786 2000-09-12 <tytso@valinux.com>
788 * fsck.c: Add base device definitions for hd[e-h], for those
789 systems with four IDE interfaces.
791 2000-09-11 <tytso@valinux.com>
793 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix error message printed when zap_sector
796 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fixed format string bug when printing
797 the inode table location in non-hex format.
799 2000-08-20 <tytso@valinux.com>
801 * get_device_by_label.c: Add call to ext2fs_find_block_device if
802 we can't find the device using the name given by
803 /proc/partitions. (This can happen if devfs is compiled
804 into the kernel, but not mounted.)
806 2000-06-27 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolabs.com>
808 * dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option
809 to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for
810 location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors
812 * mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict
814 2000-08-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
816 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general
818 (main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to
819 avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.
821 2000-07-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
823 * get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in
824 fsck, and speed up fsck -a.
826 2000-07-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
828 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.19
830 2000-07-13 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
832 * badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options
833 are mutually exclusive.
835 * badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the
836 block count must be specified if the starting block is to
837 be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in
840 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing
841 variable before going into the write verification loop.
842 This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block
843 on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal
844 while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The
845 num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get
846 clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no
847 longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup
850 * badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size).
851 Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option
852 to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing
853 the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf
856 2000-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
858 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as
859 fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of
860 the progress bar display logic.
862 * tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if
863 max_mount_count is negative.
865 * tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be
866 negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a
869 * fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation
870 for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root
871 privileges if the partitions need to be scanned.
872 Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for
873 removeable devices such as floppies if there are any
874 LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab.
876 * badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem
877 is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive
878 test. This can be overriden using the new -f option.
880 * badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the
881 blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly
882 document the start-block parameter. Added documentation
885 * badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be
886 optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the
889 2000-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
891 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that
892 it's more obviously what's going on. Fixed a few
893 potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the
894 old, overly complicated logic.
895 (flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and
896 always forces a sync; this is required before it's really
897 safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels.
899 2000-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
901 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
902 filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
903 size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
904 argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.
906 2000-05-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
908 * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
909 or LABEL= specification is given.
911 * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
912 the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
913 (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
914 to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
915 that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
916 feature for the forseeable future, either.)
918 * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
919 proceed_question that was busted due to the
920 internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if
921 proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
922 cleared of the previous question's newline.
924 Thu Apr 6 17:50:25 2000 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@signal.thunk.org>
926 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't
929 2000-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
931 * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
932 uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
933 manually define optarg and optind.
935 * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
938 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
939 now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
940 longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
941 (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
943 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
944 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
946 chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
948 2000-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
951 * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
953 * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
955 * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
957 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
958 blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
960 * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
961 Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
962 #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
963 file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
966 * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
967 The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
968 Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.
970 2000-02-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
972 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
973 fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
974 mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
975 uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
976 suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
978 * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
979 Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
980 removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
981 clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
982 code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
983 was interrupted at the wrong time.)
985 * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
987 2000-02-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
989 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
990 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
991 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
992 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
993 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
995 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
996 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
998 * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h
1000 2000-01-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1002 * tune2fs.c (usage): Update the usage message to correctly
1003 document the -s option.
1005 2000-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1007 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
1008 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
1009 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
1010 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
1012 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
1013 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
1014 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
1015 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
1016 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
1017 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
1018 Finally, the original data is written back.
1020 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
1021 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
1022 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
1023 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
1024 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
1025 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
1026 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
1027 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
1028 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
1029 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
1030 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
1031 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
1032 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
1033 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
1034 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
1036 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
1037 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
1038 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
1041 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
1042 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
1044 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
1045 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
1046 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
1047 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
1048 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
1049 and want the host hard drive to flush.
1051 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
1052 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
1053 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
1054 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
1055 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
1056 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
1057 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
1058 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
1061 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
1062 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
1063 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
1064 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
1065 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
1066 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
1067 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
1068 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
1069 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
1070 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
1071 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
1072 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
1073 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
1074 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
1075 completely reliable.
1077 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
1078 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
1079 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
1080 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
1081 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
1082 for your information.
1084 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
1085 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
1086 which I install which will write back whatever original
1087 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
1088 (except SIGKILL, of course).
1090 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
1091 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
1092 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
1093 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
1094 could learn how to update the manpage and other
1095 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
1096 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
1097 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
1098 should be in the distribution."
1100 2000-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1102 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
1103 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
1104 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
1106 1999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>
1108 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix man page so that the sparse_super filesystem
1109 option is properly named.
1111 1999-11-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1113 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
1114 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
1115 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
1117 1999-11-19 <tytso@valinux.com>
1119 * Makefile.in (distclean): Remove TAGS and Makefile.in.old from
1120 the source directory.
1122 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1124 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.18
1126 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1128 * mke2fs.8.in: Update manual page so that the sparse_option
1129 filesystem option is properly named.
1131 1999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
1133 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
1134 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
1135 fsck -As can do so interactively.
1137 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1139 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.17
1141 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1143 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
1144 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
1145 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
1147 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
1148 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
1149 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
1150 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
1152 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
1153 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
1154 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
1157 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
1158 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
1159 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
1160 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
1163 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
1164 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
1166 1999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
1168 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
1170 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
1171 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
1172 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
1174 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
1175 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
1178 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1180 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16
1182 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1184 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
1185 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
1186 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
1187 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
1189 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
1190 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
1191 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
1192 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
1194 1999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>
1196 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
1197 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
1198 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
1199 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
1200 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
1202 1999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
1204 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
1205 changing the sparse superblock option
1207 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
1208 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
1209 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
1212 1999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
1214 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
1215 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
1217 1999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1219 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
1222 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
1225 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
1226 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
1229 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
1232 1999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
1234 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
1237 1999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1239 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
1241 1999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1243 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
1244 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
1245 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
1246 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
1247 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
1248 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
1249 the filesystem the system would make.
1251 1999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
1253 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
1254 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
1255 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
1256 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
1257 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
1259 1999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1261 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
1262 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
1263 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
1265 1999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
1267 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
1268 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
1270 1999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
1272 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
1273 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
1274 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
1275 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
1276 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
1277 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
1279 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
1280 UUID=bar type specifications.
1282 1999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
1284 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
1285 clear out a large block number.
1287 1999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
1289 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
1290 appears mounted if the force option is given.
1292 1999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
1294 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
1295 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
1297 1999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1299 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
1302 1999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1304 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
1305 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
1306 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
1307 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
1309 1999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
1311 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
1314 1999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1316 * fsck.c (fsck_device, execute): Don't dereference a null pointer
1317 when checking a filesystem not in /etc/fstab.
1319 1999-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1321 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
1322 in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
1323 Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
1324 the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.
1326 1999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1328 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
1329 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
1330 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
1331 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
1332 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
1333 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
1335 1999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1337 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
1338 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
1339 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
1340 fsck pass structure.
1341 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
1342 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
1345 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1347 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.14
1349 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1354 1999-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1356 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the pass number field is missing, it
1357 needs to be treated as zero.
1359 1999-01-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1361 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add -N option to allow the user to specify
1362 exactly how many inodes he/she wishes.
1364 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Only print the version information for the
1365 program if the -V option is given.
1367 * chattr.c: Ignore symbolic links when doing a recursive descent
1368 through a directory.
1370 1999-01-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1372 * fsck.c (load_fs_info, parse_fstab_line): Ignore fstab lines
1373 are commented out. Also allow blank lines in the
1375 (execute): In verbose mode, print the mountpount of the
1376 filesystem which we are checking (user request).
1378 1998-12-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1380 * mke2fs.c: Add definition of SCSI_BLK_MAJOR if not defined, for
1381 compatibility with Linux 1.2.13 header files.
1383 1998-12-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1385 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.13
1387 1998-12-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1389 * mke2fs.8.in: Fixed stupid typo ("Raid options are _comma_
1390 seperated", instead of common separated)
1392 1998-12-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1394 * Makefile.in: Updated dependencies.
1396 1998-11-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1398 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
1399 relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of
1400 allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.
1402 1998-11-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1404 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor display bug in the nroff.
1406 * mke2fs.c (show_stats, write_inode_tables): Use the log10
1407 function to calculate the display of block numbers so that
1408 things look nice on an 80 character display.
1410 1998-10-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1412 * mke2fs.c (usage): Add the sparse-super-flag to the usage

1429 * tune2fs.c (usage):
1431 * dumpe2fs.c (usage):
1432 * badblocks.c (usage): Remove volatile from declaration.
1434 * fsck.c: Change use of strdup to be string_copy, since we don't
1435 trust what glibc is doing with strdup. (Whatever it is,
1438 1998-06-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1440 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a -V option which prints the version number

1448 1998-03-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1450 * Makefile.in: Change to use new installation directory variables
1451 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
1452 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
1453 target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the
1454 cat directory in /usr/man/cat?.
1456 1998-03-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1458 * e2label.8.in: New man page to document the e2label function.

1465 only be set or cleared by the superuser.
1467 * Update all manual pages to that the availability section is
1470 * e2label.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to state that
1471 labels must be no longer than 16 characters, or they will
1474 * e2label.c (change_label), tune2fs.c (main): If the label is
1475 longer than 16 characters, print a warning message stating
1476 that the label will be truncated.
1478 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
1479 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
1480 warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.
1482 1998-03-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1484 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Fixed spelling typo in warning

1516 an int, so that it won't lose on platforms where char is
1519 Fri Oct 3 13:38:45 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1521 * mke2fs.c (parse_raid_opts): Make parse_raid_opts return a void,

1527 * mklost+found.c (main):
1529 * dumpe2fs.c (main):
1531 * badblocks.c (main): Declare main to return an int, as required.

1548 Mon Jun 16 23:37:54 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1550 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Adjust the number of columns printed when
1551 displaying the superblock backups to avoid running over
1552 80 columns when making a really big disk.
1554 Thu May 8 22:22:08 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1570 * mke2fs.c: Added new option -R, which specifies RAID options.
1571 Currently the only supported RAID option is "stride" which
1572 specifies the stripe width in RAID filesystem. This is
1573 used to aid in the placement of the inode and block
1576 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Added warnings that the sparse
1577 superblock option isn't yet supported by most kernels.

1692 Thu Aug 22 00:51:44 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1694 * mke2fs.c (zap_bootblock): Don't do zap_bootblock on a
1697 Tue Aug 20 00:15:46 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1699 * chattr.c (main): Fixed bug so that chattr -v works. (Bug report
1700 and fix sent by Charles Howes, chowes@eznet.ca)
1702 Fri Aug 9 11:52:42 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1705 * tune2fs.c: Added support for the -L option which sets the volume
1706 label, the -M option which sets the last mounted
1707 directory, and the -U option which sets the filesystem UUID.
1710 * mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the
1711 creator OS. Generate a UUID for the filesystem, if
1712 applicable. Added support for the -L option which sets
1713 the volume label, and the -M option which sets the last
1716 Sat Jun 22 17:43:17 1996 Remy Card <card@bbj.linux.eu.org>
1718 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Integrated Michael Nonweiler's fix to
1719 avoid a segmentation fault when the "-v" option is used
1720 and no version number is specified.
1722 Thu May 16 11:12:30 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1724 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.04
1726 Wed May 15 21:15:43 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1728 * Makefile.in (fsck): fsck doesn't need to be linked with the ext2
1731 Wed Mar 27 00:33:40 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1733 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.03
1735 Thu Mar 7 03:43:20 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1737 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add (for development only) support to
1738 specify revision and inode size of the new filesystem.
1740 Tue Mar 5 03:51:35 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1742 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix a few minor typo's in the man page.
1744 * mke2fs.c (reserve_inodes): Add support for dynamic first inode
1747 Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1749 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
1750 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
1751 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
1752 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
1753 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
1754 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
1755 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
1756 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
1759 Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1761 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.02
1763 Tue Oct 30 21:14:12 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1765 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add check to warn user if they
1766 are trying to mke2fs the whole disk. (/dev/hda
1769 Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1771 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
1772 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
1773 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
1774 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
1775 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
1777 Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1779 * dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to
1782 Mon Oct 30 20:21:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1784 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a
1785 stupid typo which caused coredumps in some cases.
1787 Thu Oct 26 12:05:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1789 * Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed.
1791 Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1793 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
1794 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
1795 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
1797 Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1799 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
1802 Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1804 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
1805 function to determine if the device is mounted.
1807 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
1808 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
1809 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
1810 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
1812 Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1814 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
1815 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
1816 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
1819 Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1828 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
1830 Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1832 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
1833 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
1834 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
1837 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
1839 Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1841 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
1842 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the
1843 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
1845 Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1847 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
1848 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
1849 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
1850 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
1853 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
1854 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
1855 alloca is not portable!
1857 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
1858 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
1861 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
1863 Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
1865 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
1868 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
1870 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1871 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
1873 Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1875 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1876 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
1878 Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1880 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
1882 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
1883 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
1885 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
1887 Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1889 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
1890 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
1891 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
1892 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1894 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
1895 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1896 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
1897 statically sized buffer.
1898 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
1899 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
1901 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
1902 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
1903 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
1904 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
1905 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
1907 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
1908 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
1909 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
1910 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
1913 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
1914 support separate compilation directories.
1916 Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
1918 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
1919 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
1920 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
1921 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
1923 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
1924 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
1925 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
1926 very large partition.
1928 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
1929 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
1930 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
1932 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
1933 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
1934 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
1935 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
1936 ioctl, which most do.)
1938 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
1939 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
1940 during 0.5b development.)
1942 Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1944 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
1945 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
1946 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
1947 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
1950 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
1951 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
1952 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
1954 Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1956 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
1958 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
1959 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
1960 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
1962 Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1964 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
1966 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
1968 Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
1970 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
1971 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
1972 all partitions should be checked.
1974 Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
1976 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
1979 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
1982 Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1984 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
1985 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
1987 Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
1989 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
1991 Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
1993 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
1996 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
1998 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
2000 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
2002 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
2004 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
2006 Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2008 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
2009 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
2010 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
2011 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
2012 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
2014 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
2015 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
2016 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
2017 statistics if necessary.
